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 : )

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!
