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 “Jonquille absolute exudes an infusion of sweet honey and mimosa, entwined with a sticky medicinal hue bubbling within the top notes. Upon development the middle notes become very clear and dominant. For me this is a playful, sassy, smouldering rumba of orange blossom, blackcurrants and tuberose. The base notes are again tuberose themed but possessing a slightly darker side due to trace notes reminiscent of tobacco and hay with a lashing of warm nutty narcissus poeticus goodness. Dark yellow in colour, of a pourable viscosity, of exceptional tenacity and produced from the flowers by solvent extraction.”
Joseph Colbourne has this to say “Jonquille absolute is a rare and marvelous beauty. Opening with mimosa, fresh, dewey spring jonquilles, heady white floral depth, this absolute is dynamic, ethereal, tenacious and rich. The heart is an amalgam of tuberose, orange flower, a tinge of champaca, and it ‘shines’ brightly even two hours in. as it dries down, we discover beeswax, tobacco facets accompanying the aforementioned group of florals. After ten hours on the strip, we get some hazelnut, further tobacco impressions, and predominant tuberose. A floral absolute with surprising tenacity, this could be used even in small amounts to impart a notable lift in precious florals, oriental florals, floral-green creations.
Arctander has this to say “Jonquil absolute blends excellently well with jasmin, violet leaf absolute, orange flower absolute, longozza, ylang-ylang and other heavy florals, or with powerful green-floral absolutes.”

To me it lies between karo karounde and ylang ylang absolute.
It goes quite well with resins, ouds, white florals, incense notes, chypre and oriential framework. I use it in an incense based perfume. Highly recommended.

What a stunner! A lot of longevity! I did an interesting twist on a melon perfume- a smatter of Juniper Berry, and a little POW to the tropical fragrance with this little wonder. This is a classic Jonquille. So versatile. It just makes me happy whenever I smell it. The world turns golden- like yellow sunglasses just dropped over my eyes. Mmmm!

Absolutely Love this one, used it in a blend yesterday and will wait for the Magic to happen.

I’m a bit disappointed by the smell of this oil. I had expected a floral scent, but to me it’s more like mowed hay. I still have to find out in what blend I can use it, but I guess it would be a masculine perfume.

Happiness in a bottle. I am jealously guarding my stash since life without this liquid gold would be hard to bear. I started a few years ago with just 1ml and became hopelessly addicted to the effect on the spirit of this versatile and visually beautiful absolute. Even in minute amounts it will elevate anything you do with it and, quite literally, turn everything it touches into gold.

It smells like hot earth. When you’re at the dacha, up to your ankles in chernozem under the scorching sun, planting flower bulbs.
The smell of those bulbs, the rhizomes.
Incredible stuff!
Very interesting how it’s breeding and opening up.
Hugs, Medea and Anton.
