August 8th: As I type, we are currently rammed with orders to assemble and dispatch. For now, the lead-time estimates in the message below continue to stand. We are working every single day of August and as we will close across September, I need to offload my 2022 season Organic Lemon FCF E.O. We buy a very large weight of this every year and purchased just before we found out that Eleonora was pregnant. The material is properly stored, smells delicious and is now offered at reduced rates on the 250G weight (31.15 Euros before vat - supplied in lacquered aluminium canisters - absolute steal price) – available to everyone. Also, we are close to selling out of our Turkish Rose Signature Absolute now. We sell this for nearly 3 times less than what various so-called American rival operators are charging – for material sourced from the same producer as well. If you use our beautiful Turkish Rose Signature Absolute and need a bottle, enjoy our super low pricing whilst you can. We are also getting very low on Mysore Sandalwood E.O and Jasmine Absolute now. I will write again by Wednesday. Thank you, Adam : )
August 4th: As I type we are receiving a lot more orders than usual and we are very behind with assembling and dispatching orders. All Mainland Europe orders now have a 4-5 working day lead-time. All NON.EU orders now currently have a 7-14 working day lead-time as the courier agent we work with, is currently having days off (holiday time) across the first weeks of August, and hence adding to delays I am afraid. I apologise about any inconvenience caused. I will update again here by Monday evening (8th). Thank you, Adam : )
July 27th: Adam Michael here with an update. Ok, my partner Eleonora is pregnant with our first child. Written because across September Eleonora goes on maternity leave for 5 months and I intend to join her and use the opportunity to have a rest before the baby is born.
The exact date will be confirmed nearer the time but for now just to say if you need anything from Hermitage Oils to please plan ahead because when we close it really will be for 5 months and during that time we will be completely out of contact. Also so that everyone is aware, we will be working for the entire month of August and across August we will be releasing non-compliant oakmoss from a source I worked with for over 15 years. Yes I convinced them to carry out a production just for Hermitage Oils. On top of this I have hit the jackpot and sourced the most stunning Wild Harvested Cedarwood Absolute that money buys. It has an incredibly addictive profile, super sweet, woody, no pissy aspects like that of the e.o and the dry-down is first class all the way. Expect a thorough write-up when this is released. Also I unearthed more of our aged Opoponox e.o from Ethiopia in our storerooms so that is coming back as is Cedarmoss Absolute. As I type we have a lot of work to assemble so please note orders placed now will take until the early or middle of next week to be processed. Thank you, Adam : )
Litsea Cubeba Essential Oil, aka May Chang is known as “Oil of Tranquility”, recognised for its powerful effect of promoting physical relaxation and mental calm. It is recommended for those suffering from work related stress and the “can’t switch off” phenomenon. Historically the oil from this exotic plant has been blended with almond oil and used to perfume the body prior to meditation or prayer in order to impart a sense of strength, calm and mental clarity.
This essential oil is chemically somewhat similar to melissa true as it is high in citral which is responsible for the delightful sweet smelling aroma. A small tropical tree with fragrant lemongrass-scented leaves and flowers, related to laurel and rosewood and produces small white flowers and fruits which resemble a peppercorn. The small fruits that it produces are similar to peppers, from which the name ‘cubeba’ is derived.
Litsea Cubeba Essential Oil complements most of the middle notes (herbs and flowers) and has a gentle pungency which can be helpful when you wish to cover the scent of an oil which is helpful to the patient but not always appreciated in terms of scent. Tea tree and clary sage are two contenders. Complemented well by lavender, orange, neroli and petitgrain. With the same uplifting, revitalising properties as bergamot, this oil can also be used on greasy skin and hair.

Kristina M (verified owner) –
This Litsea Cubeba essential oil is a pure music of joy – truly so refreshening and bright – melissa is very well detectable in it as well as lemongrass.
It’s really incredible how nature can give us so many wonderful gifts – it is one of them – with it’s clear and bright aroma. I tired it with Siberian Fir E.O. – and my nostrils were just “dancing” a very happy happy dance.
How such an amazing material can be so cheap – unbelievable !
