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 “Somalian opoponax essential oil, also known as sweet myrrh, exudes a toffee sweet, fruit spicy, sticky resinous warm, salty, leathery aroma with white wine and chocolate nuances and all of incredible tenacity.
Unlike the absolute we offer this material is of a very liquid and pourable viscosity, amber in colour and produced by steam distilling the resin. In natural perfumery opoponax is used in chypre, fougere, leather bases, oriental bouquets, heavy-floral perfumes and pairs beautifully with frankincense, amber and bergamot naturals. The major constituents are trans beta ocimene and trans-alpha-bisabolene accounting for nearly 75% of this material.”

Sweet warm, mesmerizing and resinous, it is sticky in a non literal way that it grabs your attention in a subtle manner, to my mind the smell is feminine, slender like a ballerina.

– This sweet myrrh e/o begin like a varnish smell – somewhat similar to tarpentine smell, I remember some carpenters used in our old house in the mid-1980s.
– It then quickly becomes warm – quite myrrh like. But it is wamer and more rounded than the myrrh e/o I bought from here.
– Initially, the smell has some flinty quality accompanying some spicy vibes too. By flinty, I mean it’s progression have some discordance at the start but it quickly goes away and presents it’s beautiful warm, incensy and resinous quality. It remains so till the end.
– In some cases, it can be used to ‘fix’ some compositional mistakes.
– A fantastic material. 5/5

A heady, airy aroma but with a mineralistic and resinous back-note. To me it smells like a clean dishwasher that has just been opened, or bath sea salts bubbling in a jacuzzi. There is an overwhelming sense of purity and cleanliness when you inhale this aroma that makes you want more!
