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 : )
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!

Fruity fresh, sweet and warm, is like a mango ginger jam. The aroma is very stable, the pleasant mouthwatering frostiness doesn’t disappear.
