25th March at 13.10pm: Apologies but my health has gone backwards rapidly in the past few days. After a conversation with Eleonora, at this moment running Hermitage is too much for us. Therefore the countries have all been temporarily removed and no orders can be placed. Please note orders received upto the time of this message will all be dispatched by today. Earlier messages now deleted from the orange banner but note I hope by mid to late next week I can get involved again with the business and reopen the website to E.U countries. New product releases, I have written content for five new aromatics and the plan was, and still is, to get to ten, and release them all in one lot. This will happen across early April. At the sametime the lab is finished, we have set up and we will get staff employed. Written as my own objective this year for the business remains the same, that being to end the stop start and get Hermitage in a position whereby it continues to flourish with or without my daily involvement. Thank you, Adam : | PS - We will reply to emails we may receive upon our return.

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.
