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 “What we have here is very likely a limited-edition release that aroma wise is the polar-opposite to smelling our much-loved French absolute and of which has an almost cult type following. Whereas the French abs has a potent coumarinic backbone and peppered with herbaceous and floral nuances, this Italian offering has a dominant herbaceous infused floral body throughout with a far lighter coumarinic presence that absolutely needs dilution, as without it I could imagine many, especially newbies perceiving this as smelling all muddled and even muddy.
This Italian offering is without question also of a masculine nature that makes me think of a distinguished, well dressed, well-groomed gentleman from an earlier time, perhaps the 1920’s. For me there is zero anything feminine about this scent and it is a truly different proposition for the perfumer with the obvious French absolute via the even more obvious conglomerates (of which we have nothing at all to do with, for any lavender aromatics we carry).
Blends well with tobacco, ouds, is madly in love with French clary sage, works well with fenugreek, oakmoss, tree moss and katrafay too based on experiments. This has a lot of uses, a definite must for creating barber shop accords or for use within male beard grooming products, great too for building pipe tobacco accords, forest floor themes and of course for those building old school chypre and fougeres and for anyone wanting to create old school lavender colognes too. Definitely worth a look for the curious amongst you and this batch was 100% exclusively produced for us.”

If Adam lets me smell this Italian lavender absolute and ask what it is, I’ll answer..hm, I think carrot seed, moss and fennel. So don’t be discouraged by not smelling lavender right away, because this lavender will only enrich the scent of lavender and give it a beautiful green moss note that ordinary lavender does not have.

Wow what a powerhouse. Each time i get on my hands a new lavender oil i am amazed of how many different profiles i get from this herb.strong masculine indeed aspects and i get a thick green emerald gem so alive and mossy that it turns into cypress, green tea .fougere accord. .a field full of wild summer flowers and sun washed herbs that can makes you dizzy from happiness..so different from any other lavender this store offers..
