20th January: 20th January @ 9pm: First, we are unfortunately falling a little behind with work. Tomorrow we have a meeting that we can no longer postpone. Therefore, we must postpone all courier collections tomorrow. I absolutely promise though that we will be working through the weekend again and by Tuesday 25th we will have got on top of “retail” orders. As for big news, first Oakmoss Signature is now back in stock. This is a winter production, artisan produced, really labour intensive with low yields. The aroma profile is first class all the way, plus it is also not IFRA compliant. The only issues to report here is that batch two is aesthetically muddy-ugly and although it dilutes in alcohol, this batch benefits from filtration. All mentioned on the updated product listing. Next, although maybe a few months away, I can now confirm a project that is coming to fruition, we will be introducing Olive Absolute again, Italian made and exclusively distributed by Hermitage Oils. This is light years superior to anything coming out of Egypt. Next, my custom produced Hindi Oud (name still to be decided) will be released on Sunday 30th January along with a new big-ticket release that will be sold under the name of Vetiver Chocolate E.O. Subject to time I am also going to release another new oud on Sunday 30th named Oud Thai Sugar Orange (Maybe more musing is needed for the name!) I will write again on Monday and thanks sincerely to everyone for all the support. Adam Michael : )
17th January @ 8.35pm: Just to say all “retail” orders placed up to the 1st January have now been collected. This week we will clear all “retail” orders placed up until the 10th January. Of course, we will push to achieve better results but note we are working flat out. Beyond this, if you would like to see the return of MYSORE SANDALWOOD E.O, please do email to let me know as I am musing on bringing this back. Towards the end of this month I am also going to try to release my first WILD HINDI OUD e.o on the site, this is a custom distillation exclusive to Hermitage, it is extremely clean woody, floral, fruity and sweet in parts. It is pure perfection and will retail for just 1435 Euros per 10ml. This is a steal price. Sample vials will also be offered. I will write again by Thursday this week. Thank you, Adam Michael : ) 14th January @ 6.30pm update: Since I last wrote we continue to make progress. All “retail” orders placed up to the 29th of December have now been dispatched. “Retail” orders placed between the 30th December to the 1st January should all be dispatched now on Monday 17th January. And we continue to process little/quick orders we see regardless of date for one hour each day. Once we are on top of the workload, I will be working on product content for 12 new, big-ticket releases, and they will be added to the site throughout February. Across February the sites primary categories are also getting altered, because as we continue to transition into becoming a wholesale business, I want to draw attention to our Hermitage Oil custom distillations. A total of 84 SDS have now been uploaded to the site and as we get on top of our workload we will keep adding more : ) Also, emails, please note simply due to a lack of manpower, we are chiefly concentrating on responding to emails that are connected with orders still processing. Once back on track we will reply to all emails received of course : ) I think this covers everything for now and I will aim to write here again on Monday. Thank you, Adam Michael : ) Close
Adam Michael has this to say “The aroma of mimosa absolute dealbata is honey-rich, sweet-woody, intense fatty-floral with a rainbow of green violet nuances throughout. A sweeter smelling experience when compared with the decurrens species which we also offer. Produced by solvent extraction of the fresh flowers, mimosa absolute dealbata is of a solid treacle consistency and a very challenging material to get into a pourable state. For this reason we now provide this material diluted at 70% in ethanol.”
