By Friday 29th all orders received up to September 16th will be dispatched. Of course, be assured I will push to get as many orders as possible dispatched. For business clients waiting on a copy of the stock-reduction-list, this will be emailed across to you by Wednesday 27th. I will be taking tomorrow off completely for family time and will be back at work across the early part of Sunday afternoon. Next mini update here will be on Tuesday 26th. Thank you, Adam : )
19th September at 6.55pm: Right, update time. First, I am now working on the orders placed from 1st to 17th September and I think within 7-10 days maximum they will all be dispatched, along with the gifts : ) Next, I am going to release Kerala Indian Sandalwood 1953 E.O by Sunday 1st October, along with Organic Moldovan Pink Rose Musk Otto, 20% White Ambergris Aged tincture and Phenyl Ethyl Alcohol by Fermentation. If I can find the time I will also release another Assami grown Oud (plantation) and a vintage offering of Indian Vetiver E.O and Red Myrrh E.O (sublime profiles) that I have held back for the past year now. Regarding closing for 2023 in October (please read below) I need to kindly put on record that I won't be able to make exceptions for clients - even those who have become friends, and to please keep this in mind and plan ahead should you need something specific from Hermitage. I will write again by the end of the week and thank you very much to everyone for the continued support. Adam : )

Adam Michael has this to say “Narcissus absolute (des plaines) is a floral seductive masterpiece. The aroma exudes warm, heady floral goodness with delicately charged spiced fruit punch notes entwined with a splash of green crushed foliage. This is followed by delicate floral notes infused with soft cotton, honey, nuts and sweet peaches.
This narcissus absolute is dreamy dark orange in colour, of a pourable viscosity and produced by solvent extracting the concrete that is produced from the wild flowers. This floral wonder is useful for building orange blossom blends, gourmand creations, blends well with carnation, jasmines and mimosa.”

Highly delightful

Really beautiful absolute with an intense golden colour reflecting the corona of the flower. One would love to use this material in copious amounts if price were no object, but as Adam says it is also a useful modifier for other blends. I would say it is not a million miles from Linden Blossom CO2, another favourite of mine which brings to mind a field full of buttercups and is the basis for Tilleul d’Orsay, a much underrated French fine fragrance. Narcissus absolute des plaines from the top Grasse producers is justly revered by perfumers.

Another gem from Hermitage. A jewel. I have three bottles. One to save in the freezer, in case Hermitage stops carrying this. One to use in blends, and one just to smell when I need a bit of sunshine. Extra-ordinary, both in color and scent profile. A golden ray of sunlight to the senses.

In China, Narcissus are planted before the Spring Festival. It is a good day for the Spring Festival to open. I seem to smell the smell of the New Year.

This is an intriguing, pretty oil that upon first smell doesn’t jump out as being particularly powerful but surprisingly holds its own in a composition when dosed correctly. I get slight Pink Lotus vibes as well as waxy Crayola crayons, neither of which has been mentioned in any descriptors I’ve read about it, so that could just be me. Either way, whilst this doesn’t reach the status of narcotic, it is still a highly elegant, green leafy floral that’s definitely worth having in your collection.

A lovely oil indeed. As Adam points out it is not quite in the same league as the Co2 gold version. Though it is still an amazing oil. I love wearing a little of this oil as a perfume in it’s own right.
