Only logged in customers who have purchased this product may leave a review.
5th June: Lots to discuss today. First by Friday of this week I am releasing – with introductory pricing - Costus Root E.O Signature Gold, Persian Royal Rose Otto, Wild Borneo Oud Kinabalu E.O and 4 year aged Buddha Wood E.O. If I get time I will also get the Tea-plantation Kenyan Rose scented Geranium E.O released as well. Also, I am waiting on delivery now of Cis 3 Hexanol N.I and as soon as it arrives it will be put back into stock.
Another priority job now is addressing the new SDS process and from Wednesday, I am going to spend an hour every evening on this task. Thanks btw to those who have volunteered to help with the testing phase. I will be in touch with you all nearer the time. Again, once set up properly, SDS will only be available to those who have purchased the product. Exceptions again will be wild oud, extraits, tinctures and resins. America is now switched on until 14th June at 3pm Italy time for this month. If the workload situation gets out of hand, all other countries will be put on pause. Written as the USA is a unique client – accounting for nearly half of our workload. Normally not an issue but due to circumstances I am without Eleonora and admit that I struggle running Hermitage alone. Lead-time currently stands at 8-10 working days. Thank you, Adam : )

Adam Michael has this to say “This is another wood oil hailing from Paraguay, South America. Although steam distilled this is not easy to work with, almost a solid mass within the bottle. Easily fixed if you leave it on a radiator for 20 minutes in which time it will still be of thick consistency but it will be mobile and pourable if you remove the dropper cap from the bottle. The smell initially reminded me of caramelised toffee however by the middle you discover the smoky, burning wood, hay and slightly meaty aroma which remains present throughout. I also detect fleeting notes of benzoin and vanilla clearly throughout as well. In perfumery guaiac wood is great for building smoky accords, camp fire blends and combines well with cedar derivatives, patchouli and sandalwood materials.”
Botanical Name: Bulnesia sarmientoi
Origin: Paraguay

Initially it smells very similar to benzoin and toned down vanilla abs – probably toffee like.
The dry down is gorgeous – sweet, woody, incensy, slightly lemony and milky, almost like a lemony cheesecake. As sweetness reduces over time, the wood & smoke notes take over.
There is a right amount of smokiness, that if one doesn’t mind the initial sweetness, (s)he can wear this neat.
The woody note has some similarities with sandalwood (s. album) and H. cedarwood. Curiously I also get a slight lemon + vanilic smell at the dry down. It is definitely going into my next attar.

Really stuning material! Very incensy, smokey, smoooth and woody. I see the similarities to sandalwood which were mentioned by previous reviewer. The smokiness reminds me Cade Wood a litle – but of course much much ligher.
All in all, awesome, multidimensionally smelling material!

I purchased this oil long time ago and just recently fall in love with its smoky aroma. Splendid! Easy to work with after slightly warming

Just the right amount of smokiness without giving a bacon note. Pairs beatifully with vanilla

Very interesting and very different from other woods. At first you feel sweet notes of vanilla, so clear and after a second its already a smoked wood with slight saltiness.
