17th March Update at 9.45pm: All retail orders on our books placed between 6th to 13th March will be dispached by no later than the 19th March. All retail orders placed between 14th to 17th March will be dispatched by no later than the 22nd March. Thank you, Adam )
8th February Update at 1.40pm: The website has now been tweaked with the message below. Until early May we now supply to European Union countries only. By early May we will be better organised and able to handle a much larger workload per day. Once in place, USA, Hong Kong and United Arab Emirates will be switched back on. I have also updated the FAQ and mention this within that page. On the new product front, within the next 3 weeks, I am releasing Tuscan Green Olive Absolute Signature Gold, this project has been two years in the making, the end result is the most incredible olive absolute you will ever experience - it is light years superior to the Egyptian offering we and others carry. I am also going to release Italian Oakwood absolute, another custom production for Hermitage, plus I'll introduce Violet Leaf Concrete, and at least one of my 5 new Persian Rose Ottos for sale. If time allows I am going to release a wonderful Mitti Attar and two new Nagarmotha offerings as I want to put together a collection for Nagarmotha to showcase the vast differences in profile you can obtain. And finally I am definitely going to ramp up the wholesale list even further by introducing many more of our existing aromatics this month with wholesale options. Thank you and I will write again now here across early next week. Adam : )

Adam Michael has this to say “This material is obtained by making incisions into the trunk of the Pistacia lentiscus tree. Liquid oleo-resin seeps out the incisions, once hardened this material is collected and steam distilled to produce essential oil. The colour is crystal clear and of a pourable viscosity. It is worth noting essential oil is also produced by steam distilling the leaves. The aroma is clean, balsamic, turpentine crisp, dry woody and forest morning pine needle fresh. Therapeutically this material is antimicrobial, antiseptic, antispasmodic, astringent, diuretic and expectorant.”
Arctander has this to say “It is occasionally used in citrus colognes, lavender-fougeres, etc. as a top note ingredient, lending a certain naturalness and bitter-balsamic tonality to these perfume types.”
Botanical Name: Pistacia lentiscus L
Origin: Morocco

Mastic was a new material for me. I used it as modifier in the top note of my Province’s fields perfume. On the top of its lasting flowery heart was ” a natural burst of bergamot, Petitgrain and distilled lemon”. Just a drop of Mastic has made this “bursting” top to be deep and natural. Just a finishing touch, but what a transformation.

This mastic perfectly captures the scent of the forest. It reminded me of how my hands would smell after spending a day climbing trees as a kid–like tree sap, pine needles, and cedar boughs. Slightly camphorous and turpentine notes, as the description says. I’d recommend this for any blend that calls for an airy burst of nature and the outdoors.
