15th September at 13.40pm: Adam Michael here with a little update. First, our offering of rose aromatics has become too big - largest online offering in Europe - and so we are phasing out ROSE OTTO SUPER PREMIUM, ROSE OTTO CO2 ORGANIC and ROSE PETALS PERSIAN OTTO. These beautiful materials sourced directly are available at heavily reduced prices and available whilst stocks last. Next, OSMANTHUS ABS is now priced at just 375 Euros per 50G and this epic multi layered beauty is sourced directly through my own network in China. Next, SANDALWOOD MUSK 1960 CO2, stocks are very low, we have maybe a weeks supply based on how it is selling, so if you want a bottle or more of this old school dreamy vintage smelling wonder, then buy it now as this quality of sandalwood is no easy feat at all to source. Next, we now have stocks again of the pink champagne coloured Wild Strawberry Liquid and very soon I will also be writing about this aromatic. Kewda E.O, lots are asking about it, but note it has had lots of delays and realistically now, I wont have supplies of this until at least mid November. Regarding order lead-times, currently the lead-time still stands at 7 working days and I thank all clients for their patience as we process orders as fast as we can. Finally for now, we are working with a company that specialises in the paperwork side of our business and are hopeful towards the close of 2021 that we should have REACH COMPLIANT paperwork in place on the website for every product we sell. I will write again here on Monday 20th. Thank you, Adam : ) Dismiss
Adam Michael has this to say “Mint absolute is olive green in colour, of a pourable viscosity and produced by solvent extracting the aerial parts of Mentha piperita. Production takes place largely across France although I have sampled American material which aromatically speaking is equally good to my nose. The aroma of this material is utterly mind blowing, far surpassing any steam distilled offering as the harsh, and attention seeking notes are non-existent. This tenacious aromatic triumph exudes fresh, full bodied, ice cool mint notes from start to finish with a light playful herbaceous heart note twist. In perfumery this material injects a clean, cooling, and refreshing mint garden effect to top notes.”

I don’t know if its a lack of expertise or skill but I seem to be a perfumer who’s interested in developing and emphasizing more of the heart and base notes rather than the top notes, and so when I encountered Mint that is as full-bodied and incomparable as this one, it simply reframed my whole relationship with Mint and how it can be used in a perfume. This totally inspires me to create whole Mint based perfume that is unlike anything I could have imagined doing with the regular Mint Essential Oils

A smooth and pungent mint with a deep heart and a uniquely beautiful mint that evokes an ancient long-lost mint variety, being more musty-earthy than other mints – as well as darker, greener, more mysterious and beautifully nuanced.
Much more heart than top here and the heart is a quiet earth-cooled, green wet and earthy minty one – as if born from the carr wood stream or dark river and infused by the musty riverbank; tinged with sweet and herbal spearmint, wet fur, liquorice and a hint of earthy vetiver. A tenacious beauty and deeply evocative.
