July 1st: Today I have quite a lot to address. Let’s get started. First, wholesale. Linden CO2 has been raised in price by 120 euros per kilo as I can’t absorb any more increases from the producer. The price is still SUBSTANTIALLY better priced than anyone else online offering this exact product – chiefly American resellers. And consider that the US Dollar is getting extremely close now to parity with the Euro, add in we can also ship on a two-day service from Italy to USA for as little as 8.99 Euros, are getting closer to making our entire wholesale catalogue available to America, and sincerely, amongst the other respected online aromatic resellers – lets be honest chiefly all American, Hermitage represents phenomenal value to those who buy in US dollars now.
Next, Nutmeg Absolute has arrived today. The price paid is 20% more than the previous batch, and this price has been passed across in full for the wholesale pack weights offered. Our Beeswax Absolute, we used to get this under market price, however as of today’s delivery that’s no longer the case. As such the price has increased by 50% for the wholesale pack weights now offered and as crazy as this is, our prices still represent great value for money. Clove Bud Absolute has also increased by 15% and again the full cost increase is passed across for wholesale weights as our margins are wafer thin for these aromatics. Geranium Absolute is now offered in 100G pack weights, and our superstar Jasmine CO2 (best money buys) is available in pack weights up to 1 kilo now. Prices on the wholesale list are now valid until the end of this month.
Retail, price increases of Jasmine aromatics from India are never ending. The new batch of our Jasmine Wax has just arrived, and the fragrance of this wax is heavenly with a similar output to a concrete no less, the best money buys, and not to be compared with the cheap junk that floods the online scene. The increase is again being passed over, and in this specific instance, I want to put in place an improved margin as bringing this in directly, the increased buying commitments involved, the increased space for holding this low-cost stock, the back-and-forth liaising with the producer, the time to evaluate the sample batches, the input involved with customs, its all-time that must be priced in here. As such the price increases from 5.95 to 7.95 euros per 10ml bottle.
Finally, our new season 2022 Organic White Rose E.O should be with us by the third week of July. Thank you, Adam : )
Adam Michael has this to say “The neroli we offer here is 100% pure neroli essential oil that is obtained by steam distillation of the dried flowers. Although the enfleurage process is still used under some circumstances most of the oil available commercially is produced by steam distillation as dry flowers deliver a higher yield of oil than fresh ones. Neroli blends well with almost any other floral oil, especially rose, and for the ultimate in luxury you might try mixing it with both rose and jasmine absolutes. The colour of neroli is yellow but brownish red if exposed to light for some time.
There are many apocryphal stories that account for the name of this oil. That it was Nero’s favourite perfume and therefore named after him is, I think, unlikely since there is no evidence to suggest that the orange (bitter or sweet) was available to the Romans at that time. More likely is that the oil was used for perfuming gloves by the wife of Flavio Orsini, Prince of Neroli in about 1680. The distillation of the oil was first described in 1580.”
Joseph Colbourne has this to say “An invaluable essential oil for aromatherapists and perfumers alike, our neroli distilled in Tunisia is remarkable in its radiant, green aroma, with invigorating, top notes drifting into round orange flower softness and sunlit elegance. Noted for its capabilities as a central nervous system sedative, neroli essential oil has been shown in studies to reduce chronic anxiety, depression, stress, and shock. Furthermore, it is a skin nourishing oil, aiding in the healing of scars, stretch marks, and broken capillaries. Needless to say, it is a staple in any aromatherapist’s cabinet.
As a perfume material, one cannot deny its suave beauty in shaping everything from floral orientals to masculine citrus colognes. A versatile, substantive material, neroli has an impact even in small amounts. There is also significant tenacity, with its vibrance remaining even eighteen hours later on a perfume strip. A mildly balsamic dry down is a great bridge for base notes in a composition.”

Superb neroli oil. Extremly comforting scent. Definitely a TRUE neroli oil, that reminds me of the walks I used to take in the Cordoba streets at night (Spain) during early summer. This oil succeeds in being at the same time intoxitacing and relaxing. Highly recommended.

Really strong, perfect for masculine citrus colognes, excellent quality

Definitely the best neroli, which I had. No petitgrain sharpness, but the lightness and mystery of tender flowers. Very long lasting, pleasant, calming..not top notes, but deep heart and basic notes. I will never have enough.

Such a beautiful oil, definitely the best neroli i have smelt.
Robert (verified owner) –
I agree this is superior to any other neroli I’ve ever worked with, it’s just so powerful and zappy! I do prefer the absolute if I compare side by side but some things just need a drop of this instead. Not too sweet, green undertones a little soapy.
Oiland (verified owner) –
Neroli essential oil is my queen. Sophisticated, graceful, charming and rich.

Sometimes neroli can have sour edge, or be little off- but this one out of the bottle – no off notes. It is strong, powerful, all neroli has to be diluted to find the subtleties, have it open up-when this is diluted to20% it has the typical high , sweet&floral profile, but it also has a undertone of fruit- it is diffusive, vey enveloping. Neroli can be both an eye opener and a soporific-and this one does both, leaving me happily calm, satisfied.
The tenacity is good, this is a mid note. With some support- it could easily be the star of any perfume.
10% it a sweet musky citrus, almost watery, but still tenacious- so it can be a back up singer too.
Neroli is so important to not aromatherapy and perfumery, so important to get the right note going- and truly his is the right note.

Linalool smell with citrus note
Long lasting more than 10 hours
Aleksey P (verified owner) –
Great neroli oil! So bright and powerful, as refined and sophisticated. A harmonious combination of sweet and bitter notes, pungency and tenderness.
For masculine citrus accords, I combine it with bergamot petitgrain and lime, for feminine accords with sweet orange, tangerine and yuzu.
Rose and sandalwood give neroli extra sweet, floral and creamy undertones.
Galina G (verified owner) –
Neroli oil from the Hermitage is a real gift for real princesses. Although neroli is often used in men’s fragrances, I personally believe that this oil has a purely feminine character.
And I agree with the definition – TRUE neroli. No extraneous notes resembling petitgrain, as is often the case in fakes or cheap oils. The scent is pure and shining like a diamond. Refined bitterness sets off sweet, honey, floral and citrus notes.
A fragrance for romantics and lovers.

Neroli true essential oil is a gold ingredient in skincare. Anti-age properties, suitable for sensitive skin. Emotionally is calming and in the same time inspiring.
