23rd April at 4.10pm: Unfortunately, regarding the message below and lead-times, I called it wrong. My apologies. As such all orders placed upto the 15th - and about half of those placed on the 16th, will leave by Friday 26th. On Thursday no collections are possible by couriers as it's a national holiday here in Italy. On the subject of SDS, the company handling this for us, has written to me today, acknowledged more are owed to us (submitted in December and January) and that they are now working on producing the final lot of SDS for us. This includes Plantation, Wild and Jungle ouds that many of you ask about. Next, I have spent the past year (literally) sampling ambrette seed e.o and absolutes from various producers and resellers to no avail. They all smell really poor compared to what I carried. They are too nutty, too fatty, too vegetative, too lacklustre, falling away very fast, and really dont showcase the musky textured qualities of a top ambrette properly. Even the big naturals brands are all obtaining and selling sucky poor man's ambrette at the moment. Written as I have decided to move over to carrying ambrette CO2 and this will be in place until I can find a wow absolute and E.O again. CO2 is still not on par with what I had, but it offers a far better profile on the musky front than the abs and e.os in the market place right now. This CO2 will be in stock by early May. Next, we will put all the non.eu destinations we can supply to, back on our website on May 6th - so U.A.E, UK, Switzerland, Saudi Arabia, Singapore and Australia. On the new product front, the next batch of 10 superstars will be released on the 20th May - lots more roses planned. And I will get started on expanding the bulk wholesale side of the business very soon - more aromatics and offered in larger weights as standard - likely upto a kilo on the website. Ok I will write again by Monday. Thank you, Adam : )
19th April at 5pm: Quick update to first say I have now added the following big ticket aromatics to the website: Italian Oakwood Absolute, Organic Georgian Rose Raduga Otto and finally Persian P.E.A Intense Rose (Otto). Orders, as I type with exception to 3 orders, every order placed up until the 11th has left with the couriers. By Monday 22nd, all orders placed up until the 14th will leave with couriers and I will type again across Monday with another update. Bulk Wholesale orders that still need to be manually typed and billed will be done so by Tuesday 23rd. 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 opening notes of Mate Absolute are black tea and green tea rich with tobacco, hay and light spice notes. The heart through to dry down is again a mixed teas combo, somewhat dirty, raw, and unpolished, leathery, a tad trace birch smoky and guaiac wood dried meaty.
This Mate Absolute hails from a little producer in Paraguay and of which I strongly prefer to the Grasse produced material that is offered by all of our online competition. Outstanding value for money, lasts over 7 hours alone on the strip and is a very versatile material, works wonders in the creation of green tea accords, pairs well with heady florals, moss notes, smoky materials, spice oils, dances with chamomile, and is a truly wow material. Diluted in alcohol at 50%, olive green yellow in colour and produced by solvent extracting the dried leaves.”
Botanical Name: Ilex paraguariensis

Mate absolute is one of those materials that truly deserves a special place in everyone’s arsenal. I can only describe it as WOW and I can explain why it is so special to me. First the material opens with nutty nuances combined with woods and suave leather notes, some hay also. This holds on quite a lot, the tenacity and also the power of it are great, but after an hour or so, the magic starts unfolding, and here is when I was taked to a time in my childhood, when I was curious about what things I would find in my great grandfather’s old toolbox drawers. That’s exactly the scent I’m getting, old wood toolbox, not with metal notes, but rather with old paper and leather journals and sketches, old tobacco laying around between the paper sheets.

I drink Yerba Mate all the time, this material has such a wonderful smell and surpasses the smell of Mate itself!

This tea smells dark green and bitter, tobacco like. I got addicted to the smell. Don’t know how to use it in perfumery yet, but love the smell as is from the bottle.

There is a tang to this! Of course it floods your nose mind with a steam-like smoky herbal cloud of tea magic, but buried within is a kind of sour undertone that I just picked up in this very moment of reviewing.

Fresh and in the same time reminds me hayloft somehow. Beautiful and very unique.
Simon DTW (verified owner) –
Perfect for building tobacco accords. Pleasant and dark without being too bitter. Very Beautiful..

Mate absolute for me it’s a cup of tea seating on the hay in hot summer day. Soft, slightly green and warm. Pastel color palette.

A high quality tea absolute material ..very rich herbal tea ,and indeed there is mainly a “woody” green tea vibes but with dark tobacco aspects too..i detect a freshness behind that darkness and
masculine leather umbrella that is very obvious but with something very alive that this material is valuable for a lot of uses in a composition!!
