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 : )

14th August 2023: A quick note to say this new batch of Lilac CO2 (LIL23) has been produced from 2023 season material. Thanks, Adam : )
Adam Michael has this to say ” This lilac CO2 is of a waxy consistency. The fragrance is captured perfectly but the longevity is not overly good. Fresh waxy floral, a total extract, and with a little warmth it is 100% pourable. The major constituents are b-linalool, lilac aldehyde A-B-C, lilac alcohol A-D, 1,4-dimethoxybenzene, carvacrol, trimethoxbenzene, elimicin, I-elimicin, benzylbenzoate, squalene, a-amiryn, b-amiryn.”
Mark Evans has this to say “There is no lilac essential oil – the yield is non-existent. There is no lilac absolute – many attempts have failed. Throughout history the desire for the beautifully floral scent of lilacs has spawned many different blends, fragrance oils and butters and although these have become gradually more sophisticated and complex as new materials are discovered, they are all still just imitations of the naturally sweet floral delight of the natural lilac. Even the so called lilac pomades of the past were actually perfumed with a mix of benzoin, styrax and hyacinth pomade.
So it really is a great privilege to offer small amounts of this completely natural, completely real extract of lilac flowers. The yield of the CO2 extraction is small and the precious result is golden and waxy with a scent that is gentle, sweet, floral, balsamic and green with an earthy, slightly cresol-like undertone. After a while on the smelling strip, the scent turns quite spicy and cinnamon-like.
Although the fragrance of lilacs themselves may seem out-dated in these sophisticated times, it still remains an important and very useful floral component in modern perfumery.”

The only way to capture the ephemeral beauty of lilac was the enfleurage process — until the CO2 appeared on the scene. Beautiful waxy consistency of this total CO2, easy to work with once warmed up. Shy and chaste, not pushing its weight around, this beauty takes time on the skin to develop its true character, which is complex but light, while being both green and sweet and tenderly floral as only Lilac will be.

A soft fragrance, not at all overpowering. Sweet, fresh and gentle. I love it.

I have already bought a CO2 extract of white lilac before and I know that this material does not smell like fresh flowers. But the beauty of the lilac scent, with its delicate watercolor nuances framed by creamy wax notes, is present here.
A fragrance needs the warmth of your skin to sound in full force.
When creating perfume compositions, you should be very careful in choosing other ingredients, so as not to let the more powerful notes overshadow this heavenly scent and allow it to shine with its soft, restrained beauty.
