17th April at 2.15pm: Quick update to say all orders placed on the 9th have been collected just now by DHL. Orders placed on the 10th and 11th will all leave by the 19th. I will type again on Friday regarding orders placed from the 12th onwards. Other news, by Friday I am releasing a few more very big ticket rarities including our Italian Oakwood Absolute and a super grail rose otto. Thank you, Adam : )
15th April at 5.30pm: Today I am running behind but I am happy to say that along with all E.U countries, we now can supply to the USA again. USA switched on just now and the Mysore Sandalwood 4 year aged E.O offer is extended for a week for USA clients to enjoy too. By Wednesday 17th all orders from the 9th April will be dispatched with DHL. Although we are rather full-on with orders at the moment, the lead time will improve significantly very shortly. Reason being since reopening the focus has been solely on building stocks up and we have staff coming on as well now (at last!). I will write again on Wednesday regarding lead times. This week my tasks are to get on top of the SDS we are owed by the company we have employed to handle this. And other than this I am adamant I will update the bulk wholesale list with more aromatics. Finally for now - the following 11 aromatics have recently been added to the site - French Rose Geranium E.O, Sandalwood Mysore E.O 4 Year Aged, Tuscan Olive Leaf Absolute, Mitti Attar (Petrichor), Persian Queen of Roses (Otto), Tomato Leaf Absolute, Oud Assami Skank E.O V.1, South Indian 10 Year Aged Vetiver E.O, Bengali Nagarmotha E.O, VIolet Leaf Concrete, Italian Helichrysum Absolute S.G. Thank you, Adam : )

Adam Michael has this to say “The smell massoia bark CO2 is that of a tropical masterpiece, like a cross between sandalwood and coconut ice cream, it is an absolutely gorgeous aroma. Useful for adding warmth and fullness to soft woody accords, offers interesting effects within amber bases and developing white flower notes such as gardenia and jasmine, combines nicely with coumarin and tonka notes and provides a warm tropical milkiness to sandalwood accords.
I must add that if used in a perfume formula this material could actually irritate the skin. Not unlike other perfumery materials that share this feature, for example oakmoss and even rose, it is always best to research the materials that you intend to put into a formulation. This being said it is also an issue of personal sensitivity, example, I have never had any reactions at all but again I am aware it is possible. The IFRA has decided to prohibit this material and we have decided to continue offering it as we feel it has a lot to offer the perfumer as well as being a great study material. The major constituents are 50 – 80% pentyl lactone and 10 – 40% heptyl lactone. Light yellow in colour of a pourable viscosity and a select extract.”

A lovely material, very accurately described by Adam, with one caveat – unlike the infinitely kind and adaptable sandalwood, massoia must be used in extreme moderation or it will overpower anything you blend it with, imparting an oily note that is very persistent.
As long as you don’t try to use it as the building block of a composition, but as an accent that is used sparingly, it can do wonderful things.

This is material is wonderful, this is indispensable in natural lactonic milky accords

This oil reminds me of Thai green curry. Smells like coconut milk with some kaffir lime and some spices.
This is the first oil to every actually irritate my skin, and I mean Irritate! I have a habit of smelling oils directly form my skin, but that should never be done with pure oils anyway. Very interesting stuff.

I do like this a lot but there’s a harsh scratchy note that I can’t seem to get away from in the dry down, I’ve heard that 0.05% is OK to use in a finished composition and judging by its power you prob wouldn’t need more than that anyway! I’m amazed at how little of this is needed, it dominates even in tiny amounts…. More experiments needed!

Smells like cookies to me. Lactonic overload for sure, but like some of the reviewers mentioned: to be used very sparingly – otherwise those oily, greasy and fatty aspects really shine on through.

Es delicioso: una potente nota mantecosa, golosa, como un bizcocho recién salido del horno, dulce y cálido y envolvente.
