Mango Ginger CO2 (EXCLUSIVE – SELECT EXTRACT)

20th October 2025: Adam Michael has this to say “The original producer behind the Mango Ginger CO2 total offering called time on this aromatic a few years ago. As such we are now having custom productions made just for Hermitage Oils. As we chiefly serve perfumers – our production is a select Mango Ginger CO2 extract – a thinner consistency, orange-brown in colour, soluble in both alcohol (needs to be pre-dispersed in tec) and oil. Top to dry-down this is a 4 to 5 hour experience on skin. The profile is candied ginger warm, rooty, a little grassy even, light spiced in a turmeric direction, mango skin, chamomile tea, with mango woody sweetness and more generally a melody of Oriental fruity-floral tonalities from the top and into the heart. The base notes are woody, leather, root-spice and a little floral-soapy.

This select and the total that Joseph reviewed below are worlds apart  – aromatically the total extract was more fulsome by direct comparison – but note it was a total extract and 12 years aged – so absolutely impossible to compete with. I am leaving Josephs review below in place – but again – note it refers to the total extract and what is now offered here is our select extract. Paperwork – SDS, Fragrance Allergens and IFRA will be available by November 15th 2025.”

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.
