August 15th: Today in Italy is Ferragosto, an important public holiday. As such couriers are not working. This means we will be sending parcels from Tuesday. We are absolutely stuffed with orders to assemble, as such lead-times are as follows, E.U 7 to 10 days. Non-EU 14 to 17 days. ADDITIONS: Before placing your order, please check very carefully. As having to re-edit existing orders greatly adds to our processing times and is making the queue of orders move slower and slower for everybody. I thank you for understanding. Adam : )
August 11th: Quick note to say I have now added the Wild Cedarwood Absolute to the website. This is the final new release for 2022 prior to closing across September for 5 months. I need to state for those paying via bank transfer, politely your order is not secured until we have received payment in full. If you are considering buying Mysore Sandalwood, please keep in mind we now have very low stocks left and its likely this will sell out by the end of this week. Ambrette Absolute is now also running low and so are most of our frankincense aromatics along with Prachin Oud. As for lead times, non E.U orders are now taking up to 14 days to assemble and dispatch. Orders sent within the E.U are taking roughly a week before they are assembled and dispatched. 2022 season Organic Lemon FCF E.O is now reduced in price as we have a lot to clear prior to closing. For those within the E.U who may be interested in 5 and 10 kilo pack weights, please get in touch on email. I will write again by Sunday. 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. Thank you, Adam : )

Adam Michael has this to say “Sweet marjoram is a useful oil for steam inhalation, noticeably clearing the chest and easing respiratory difficulties. A hot bath containing 3 drops of this oil will help with the miseries arising from the common cold and will relieve sore achy muscles. Added to carrier oil it can be massaged into the throat and chest areas to sooth tickly coughs due to its warming, analgesic and sedative nature.
Sweet marjoram is a calming sedative that is used as aid to induce sleep. It should not be abused however, because it can have a deadening effect on the emotions, dulling the senses and in large amounts is overwhelming. A hot compress over the abdomen can ease menstrual cramps.
The aroma is herbal warm, sweet and slightly spicy with camphoraceous undertones. Produced by steam distilling the leaves and flowering tops, the colour is rich yellow-reddish and of a pourable viscosity.”

Mauricio (verified owner) –
Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and lust, had this herb as her dearest in the whole world, proclaiming its scent to dignify lovers and bring good luck. It seems to grow like a weed in Brazilian’s countryside dispersing its sweet and soothing aroma all around after heavy rains. I used to mark book pages with it before I even knew what ‘perfume’ was.
As a working material, I think this is very delicate and tends to fade into the background. It’s not a problem with Hermitage’s offering but one of Marjoram’s Sweet greatest features: it adds a romantic, almost nostalgic, layer into pastoral creations that the likes of Coriander, Caraway or Verbena would not be able to provide with their bite and punch. Where others would grab the spotlight and scream “feel me!”, this one will quietly hum for a time, patiently waiting to be noticed, and then vanish with a kiss.
