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 nutmeg absolute is soft, warm, spiced, sweet, slightly woody and powdery throughout. I would describe this as a heart note and the most suitable nutmeg material for perfumery work as it alcohol soluble of course but maybe more importantly it does not deposit the resinous substances that need to be filtered out over time, a problem with the essential oil and especially the co2 extract plus the aroma of this absolute is nothing short of dreamy.
As for uses, sublime material for building Autumnal notes along with leather and animalic bases, pairs really well with oakmoss and spice materials, and this nutmeg provides something truly incredible for black tea accords, brightening the tea notes and imparting warmth and spice that compliments such accords perfectly and only when this material is added below the levels of conscious detection.”

Oh… WOW! This Nutmeg Absolute just blows my mind! It is far superior than the average Nutmeg absolute from India. I am comparing both side by side at this moment on a strip and on my skin. Even at 5% dilution this is still a spicy kick to the face! It the best way… In comparison to Nutmeg (regular) from India VS. Nutmeg Absolute from India it is far creamier, finer, more powdery than Nutmeg (regular). It also has smoother edges whilst still providing a hardy “wood” aspect to it’s character. It goes SMASHINGLY well with tobacco and amber accords. Paired with Orris Butter 15% it cannot be beat. Way to go Adam & Hermitage!
