23rd April at 4.10pm: Unfortunately, regarding the message below and lead-times, I called it wrong. My apologies. As such all orders placed upto the 15th - and about half of those placed on the 16th, will leave by Friday 26th. On Thursday no collections are possible by couriers as it's a national holiday here in Italy. On the subject of SDS, the company handling this for us, has written to me today, acknowledged more are owed to us (submitted in December and January) and that they are now working on producing the final lot of SDS for us. This includes Plantation, Wild and Jungle ouds that many of you ask about. Next, I have spent the past year (literally) sampling ambrette seed e.o and absolutes from various producers and resellers to no avail. They all smell really poor compared to what I carried. They are too nutty, too fatty, too vegetative, too lacklustre, falling away very fast, and really dont showcase the musky textured qualities of a top ambrette properly. Even the big naturals brands are all obtaining and selling sucky poor man's ambrette at the moment. Written as I have decided to move over to carrying ambrette CO2 and this will be in place until I can find a wow absolute and E.O again. CO2 is still not on par with what I had, but it offers a far better profile on the musky front than the abs and e.os in the market place right now. This CO2 will be in stock by early May. Next, we will put all the non.eu destinations we can supply to, back on our website on May 6th - so U.A.E, UK, Switzerland, Saudi Arabia, Singapore and Australia. On the new product front, the next batch of 10 superstars will be released on the 20th May - lots more roses planned. And I will get started on expanding the bulk wholesale side of the business very soon - more aromatics and offered in larger weights as standard - likely upto a kilo on the website. Ok I will write again by Monday. Thank you, Adam : )
19th April at 5pm: Quick update to first say I have now added the following big ticket aromatics to the website: Italian Oakwood Absolute, Organic Georgian Rose Raduga Otto and finally Persian P.E.A Intense Rose (Otto). Orders, as I type with exception to 3 orders, every order placed up until the 11th has left with the couriers. By Monday 22nd, all orders placed up until the 14th will leave with couriers and I will type again across Monday with another update. Bulk Wholesale orders that still need to be manually typed and billed will be done so by Tuesday 23rd. Thank you, Adam : )
15th April at 5.30pm: Today I am running behind but I am happy to say that along with all E.U countries, we now can supply to the USA again. USA switched on just now and the Mysore Sandalwood 4 year aged E.O offer is extended for a week for USA clients to enjoy too. By Wednesday 17th all orders from the 9th April will be dispatched with DHL. Although we are rather full-on with orders at the moment, the lead time will improve significantly very shortly. Reason being since reopening the focus has been solely on building stocks up and we have staff coming on as well now (at last!). I will write again on Wednesday regarding lead times. This week my tasks are to get on top of the SDS we are owed by the company we have employed to handle this. And other than this I am adamant I will update the bulk wholesale list with more aromatics. Finally for now - the following 11 aromatics have recently been added to the site - French Rose Geranium E.O, Sandalwood Mysore E.O 4 Year Aged, Tuscan Olive Leaf Absolute, Mitti Attar (Petrichor), Persian Queen of Roses (Otto), Tomato Leaf Absolute, Oud Assami Skank E.O V.1, South Indian 10 Year Aged Vetiver E.O, Bengali Nagarmotha E.O, VIolet Leaf Concrete, Italian Helichrysum Absolute S.G. Thank you, Adam : )

Adam Michael has this to say “This French hay absolute is olive green to brown in colour, of a thick but pourable consistency that could benefit from gentle warmth prior to use. This absolute is produced by solvent extracting the dried French grasses of Hierochloe alpina. The aroma is chiefly all gourmand throughout, pronounced coumarinic notes, sweetened mate tea, clary sage herbaceous with a gentle rainbow of sweet honey, plum jam and cocoa qualities. Completely alcohol soluble, the best hay absolute money buys, and without question, 10 out of 10 material.”
Arctander has this to say “Hay absolute is used in perfumery not only in “new mown hay” bases, or in combination with flouve, melilotus, tonka, woodruff, deertongue, etc., but also as an individual note to be introduced whenever a truly herbaceous-sweet undertone is required: in lavender, fougere, chypre, colognes, tea-notes, tabac-notes, forest notes and various bouquets.”

This absolute actually took me back to my childhood home in Kentucky, USA. I am delighted even removing the cap. It’s like smelling a summer afternoon in the Southern US. Sweet tea, hay pollen, and the scent of rural earth grabbed me and pulled me back to the bottle time and time again. Will be wanting more of this.

Agree totally with the previous review and the description, I keep checking when will it be in stock again – to grab a sample at least. Freshly mown grass drying in the sun, haystacks in the summer time, mixed with sweet chamomile tea, a little bit of chocolate with added crispy caramelised sugar and chestnut honey – all trapped in a bottle, readily available to enjoy. Awesome.

This is the best Hay Absolute i have smelled, lasting many many hours on the testing strip, to me this smells like raisin bread, a wonderful material to use in many different styles!

– This super thick molasses and syrupy like extract begins with a sweet honey like smell.
– Compared to the Austrian EO (bought from here), it is more rustic and powerful – also more animalic (but in a beautiful way), with a dark chocolate facet.
– If mixed with with sandalwood (Santalum album), it adds a beautiful musky tone to it.
– It is perfect to use in anything to impart a herbaceous, sweet undertone – e.g,, in fougere, chypre.
– It can help as a building block for notes of tea, tobacco, dark forests and various floral, resnous, incense, ambery compositions, and to extend oudiness.

Truly wonderful hay note and so realistic! Living as I do in rural Somerset just a dot on a tester invokes bright bales being bundled up.

I just received this absolute by the mail and i gotta say, from all the other products that were part of this order this one stands out the most. It has an insanely strong first impact, with notes of marzipan, chamomille, dry grass and warm earth hitting you like a freight train. It is overwhelming at first, then giving space to a multifaceted sweet hay aroma which is still pungent but much less agressive. It goes out with subtle green tea, dry wood and wheatfield notes. Definitely the best aroma I have come across yet. It is an orchestra of aromas. A masterpiece.

This is wonderful! I wish I knew what to do with it beyond the fougere genre as its just so luxurious, in a sweet barnyard kind of way. This one smells less dirty than other hay oils I’ve had before and it’s so sweet in the dry down too
Melissa W (verified owner) –
Such a beautiful combination of sweet, fresh barnyard with a bit of chocolate. I also get a touch of cinnamon. Fantastic!!

Beautiful, softly intense, sweet green sunlit meadow – evoking image of careless escape to a bucolic bliss of life in country-side – as if were envisioned by Mary Antoinette with her fake farm in Versaille … A staple Perfume essence for connecting the chemistry of human skin to nature and excitement. Simple yet Elevated.
