26th April at 7.35pm: A quick update. Many parcels have left today. The situation is as follows, we still have one order left to process for the 10th (Paris retailer), one for the 11th and a lot more still for the 15th through to the 18th - mostly USA wholesale orders. The plan now is to work on orders across the weekend and by no later than Tuesday 30th - every order placed upto the 18th will be dispatched. Ideally they will all be out by Monday 29th but based on how I called it wrong recently I think it's better to call it for Tuesday. I'll update on order lead times for the 19th onwards on Monday 29th. It goes without saying that I am very sorry about the lead-time but like the lab and staff, it is now just a matter of a month or so before we are better organised, holding larger stocks of each aromatic, and in turn the lead-times will drastically improve going forward. Ok, back on Monday and thank you to everyone for the continued support. Thank you, Adam : )
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 “Acacia honey absolute exudes a very dreamy, sticky-sweet, gourmand honey aroma throughout with sensual earthy and resinous nuances. Commonly used in cosmetics, blends well with most florals, gourmand materials and helps the heart notes of osmanthus, roses and orange blossom to really sing.”
Honey absolute is of quite a thick consistency, similar to syrup but this liquid becomes very mobile with a little bit of warmth. We advise placing the bottle in a bowl of warm water for 10-15 minutes and then removing the integral dropper cap from the bottle to make it easier to work with.
Botanical Name: Apis mellifera
Origin: France

When I was a child, I was pretty much convinced bees hated my guts, since they would often sting me even when unprovoked. Back then I used to think it was because I loved their precious honey so much that they knew it at sight, trying to protect their treasure from glutton me. Time went by, I chilled out and they stopped practicing natural acupuncture on me and my love for honey just grew over the years.
I’ve tried, as a food, pretty much every European and South American honey variety in the market, along with some of African origin, and this is one the most richly composed I know. Less sweet than my Beeswax (albeit still pretty sweet), this offering leans toward a powdery-creamy profile rather than the ‘glassy’ texture of Eucalyptus honey. It is flowery but not dusty, mellifluous with just a hint of propolis that is often lost in its more acidic nature. Besides the usual pairings (citruses, gourmand accords etc), it blends well with salty/bitter herbs (Clary Sage, Artemisia and, especially, Coriander), dark woods (Oak, I’m looking at you!) and a blend of Palmarosa/Ho Wood that I often use to mimic a more woody Geranium but works even better with Honey.
This is actually tricky to work with as it is completely solid at room temperature (even in a hot city in Brazil) and needs a bit of warmth to even exude any scent (around 55º C for 10 minutes should be enough, I just let it sit near a refrigerator’s engine). Although It is soluble in alcohol and in most oils I’ve tried so far, the texture is sticky-grainy and it is fairly difficult to get precise amounts of it to work with, so a scale is useful here since even a tiny bit excess of this material can overpower other scents.

Honey acacia is a true gift when you use it with a tooth stick to create soft powdery bouquets .its so delicate and sweet like candy but it so powerful when you want to smooth your strong oriental perfume if you over empowered your composition ..i love it with roses and vanilla absolute..excellent stuff..

Easily dissolves in warm alcohol this honey absolute is not what one might expect, it adds sweetness to a composition yes but it also brings the bees to the party so to speak, a subtle yet clean animalic note I wasn’t expecting but have grown to love, it fits right into a composition without being noticible, dominant or obvious but gives something way more unique than I was expecting, working especially well with florals of course….

Although this wasnt the strong, real-to-life honey smell I was looking for, its an interesting material to have in your organ.
I tend to experiment with it by blending it with florals or to round off a synthetic honey accord.
