23/07/21 at 17.35pm: Adam Michael here, about to finish for today but before I do I have a little update : )
The TEST order to Australia was a success, sailing through customs like pre-covid times. Therefore, in September (so after our holiday) Australia will be added back to the list of countries we can supply. Next, when we are off work in August, I am musing on cutting the offering of natural isolates and essential oils we offer by as many as 30 lines. I will touch on this more in the final newsletter and welcome thoughts from clients. Also, before we close for the holiday, I will be uploading Egyptian Orange Blossom Absolute, however it won’t be for sale as a standalone material (it also won’t make for a pleasant reading at all) BUT will feature in September’s new product releases, which includes an Orange Blossom and Neroli sample set. In September I have some more big-ticket releases lined up, including two possible oud custom distillations exclusive for Hermitage. I also have sourced more protium copal resin plus a wonderful peppery elemi resin. And the updated wholesale list that will feature more aromatics will be available to download at the start of September. Please remember if you are in the E.U, the last time for placing an order is the 27th July. And in preparation of our August holiday, all NON-E.U shipping destinations have now been switched off from our website. Thanks to all who support us and kind regards, Adam : ) Dismiss
Joseph Colbourne has this to say “This highly viscous CO2 extraction has a burnt sienna color and originates from India, and as the name suggests, the flavor and aroma is strongly reminiscent of ripe mango. The mouth-watering, piquant top has delicious notes of pine resin, camphor, vanilla, and shimmering ginger. This develops into a fully resinous, coniferous heart cradled by the juicy, macerated flesh of champagne mangoes and pleasantly sweet brown sugar. The dry down reveals tropical fruits encased in amber; deep, dark, delicious, fibrous. One may also detect notes of warm opoponax and cistus. For quite a development, this gorgeous material would dovetail well with accords that start off sharp and round out in the base—think resinous orientals of a floral or woody nature, citrus and tropical fruit accords. ”
The colour is fire red and of a thick viscosity with a consistency similar to treacle. With warmth this material will become liquid and very easy to work with. Extracted from the rhizomes in India and a relation of both ginger and turmeric.

Masterpiece material. For me, this is one of those scents that is an essential part of one’s palette, something you didn’t know you were missing until you tried it. A little goes a long way and makes a pronounced and lasting impression on any blend. The CO2 extraction offers stunning freshness and immediacy, however, I would also love to smell this rhizome extracted as an absolute.

Again, this could be a delightful cocktail, it’s fragrance is so adult and luxurious, sugared almonds, powdered ginger spice, tropical and oriental flower, mango spicy fruity, hint of booze – apple brandy / spicy rum, dried peppery lemongrass, woody balsam, and hint of toasted coconut and nutmeg to my nose anyway, and like Adam says there is Cistus & Myrrh! I could smell it for days and keep finding memories!
