5th June: Lots to discuss today. First by Friday of this week I am releasing – with introductory pricing - Costus Root E.O Signature Gold, Persian Royal Rose Otto, Wild Borneo Oud Kinabalu E.O and 4 year aged Buddha Wood E.O. If I get time I will also get the Tea-plantation Kenyan Rose scented Geranium E.O released as well. Also, I am waiting on delivery now of Cis 3 Hexanol N.I and as soon as it arrives it will be put back into stock.
Another priority job now is addressing the new SDS process and from Wednesday, I am going to spend an hour every evening on this task. Thanks btw to those who have volunteered to help with the testing phase. I will be in touch with you all nearer the time. Again, once set up properly, SDS will only be available to those who have purchased the product. Exceptions again will be wild oud, extraits, tinctures and resins. America is now switched on until 14th June at 3pm Italy time for this month. If the workload situation gets out of hand, all other countries will be put on pause. Written as the USA is a unique client – accounting for nearly half of our workload. Normally not an issue but due to circumstances I am without Eleonora and admit that I struggle running Hermitage alone. Lead-time currently stands at 8-10 working days. Thank you, Adam : )

Adam Michael has his to say “Opoponax absolute is produced by solvent extraction of the gum resin and then transformed into an absolute through alcoholic washing. The aroma is an infusion of luscious sweet toffee, soft dreamy vanilla, balsamic woods and sprinkled with liquorice, cinnamon, incense and earth. Jam red in colour, of a very thick consistency that will become pourable with bain-marie. Opoponax absolute showcases its beauty best when it is diluted at 10% in perfumers alcohol.”
Arctander has this to say “Opopanax Resinoid is a popular fixative in high-class perfumery, if and where its dark color is no drawback. Its warm, powdery, Oriental and spicy effect is utilized in countless combination fixatives for forest-notes, moss-notes, Oriental bases, “powder” type perfumes, spice fragrances, heavy florals, etc.”

Per Filipsson (verified owner) –
A non liquid mass that has to be diluted in ethanol to be workable. Has this swirling resin tone, reminicent of myrrh but rather to the woodier side, some spicyness, and with a small concentrated sweetness. Also a little more “uncley” than myrrh. Yes, definately a note of distinguished gentleman. A long base note, great as an alternative to other resins if you want variation.
