2nd October at 9.05pm: All orders placed upto the 20th September will be dispatched by tomorrow. All orders received up until the 25th September will be dispatched by 6th October. I will provide dispatch times here, for orders placed from 26th October to 28th October on 6th October. Thanks, Adam : )
September at 5.30pm: First apologies for not writing here yesterday as intended. As I type all orders placed upto the 15th September, will be dispatched by tomorrow with couriers, and orders placed upto the 16th will all leave by Friday 29th. Orders placed on the 17th will leave by Monday 2nd October. And on Monday 2nd October I will provide dispatch times for orders placed on the 18th to the 20th September. So at the moment the lead-time is about 2 weeks from placing your order. Normally what happens is we reopen, many orders come in and then things slow down and we normalise. However in this instance I suspect it won't happen this way. As we close in October (see below) I am seeing regulars buying much more to cover themselves across the period we are closed. Add to this my wholesale work which is now coming in really fast - as I have started sending out the stock reduction list, and therefore I forecast a 2 week lead time all the way to closing. Meaning once we stop taking orders - It's probable I will still need 2 weeks to finish before I can close properly for the year. Therefore if you do want something, plan ahead please and only buy if you can wait as with the utmost respect, I am not letting anyone queue-jump, even if they go on to tell me they haven't seen these updates.
On the subject of the stock reduction list - due to lack of time, I have to create it in two parts. Part one covers aromatics A-K and part two will be sent out on email (to those on the list) on October 6th. Regarding the new releases, they will happen, this I promise but I can't get that job done for this Sunday now. I'll need until mid October to make that happen. If you are interested in the new releases all I can advise is to keep checking back here as I will confirm the release date before, well, releasing the new aromatics! On the subject of Ambergris, it's a really touchy topic for me at the moment and I am going to comment on this in more detail shortly, but note I am rethinking decisions concerning ambergris. Back here with a final update on Friday afternoon. Thanks, Adam : )
22nd September at 4.35pm: A quick progress update. By Monday 25th all orders received up to September 11th will be dispatched. 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 : )
18th September Update. Please read carefully.
Although a month away, I need to announce that the LAST ORDER TIMES FOR 2023 ARE AS FOLLOWS:
🦋Non.EU Countries 18th October at 9pm Italy time. 🦋
EU Countries 25th October at 9pm Italy time. 🦋
Then once all orders are dispatched and delivered, we will close and reopen by mid-January 2024/as soon as the laboratory is finished.
Also please note as of 30th September we will stop offering ambergris aromatics for sale.
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.”

Thomas (verified owner) –
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.
GinoF197 (verified owner) –
High quality stuff and indeed a powerhouse, use sparingly otherwise it will overpower your perfume creation.
Konstantina B (verified owner) –
Really strong, perfect for masculine citrus colognes, excellent quality
innasany (verified owner) –
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.
Carlos silva (verified owner) –
Most beautiful neroli i ever smell a perfection.Highly recommended.

Fresh floral Neroli, sunshine in a bottle. Combines nicely with frankincense or sandalwood but also with lavender.

Soul balm:)
A boon for these interesting times.
I find myself reaching out for it almost in state of panick and taking deep deep breaths hungrily. I stay with the scent centred in its loving and calming embrace. B still my soul all is well.
Gabriella C (verified owner) –
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.
Jolie T (verified owner) –
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.
CATHERINE A (verified owner) –
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.
Oiland (verified owner) –
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.
