25th March at 13.10pm: Apologies but my health has gone backwards rapidly in the past few days. After a conversation with Eleonora, at this moment running Hermitage is too much for us. Therefore the countries have all been temporarily removed and no orders can be placed. Please note orders received upto the time of this message will all be dispatched by today. Earlier messages now deleted from the orange banner but note I hope by mid to late next week I can get involved again with the business and reopen the website to E.U countries. New product releases, I have written content for five new aromatics and the plan was, and still is, to get to ten, and release them all in one lot. This will happen across early April. At the sametime the lab is finished, we have set up and we will get staff employed. Written as my own objective this year for the business remains the same, that being to end the stop start and get Hermitage in a position whereby it continues to flourish with or without my daily involvement. Thank you, Adam : | PS - We will reply to emails we may receive upon our return.

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!
