10th May at 6.30pm: Today we have lost a little ground on the progress we have been making of late. The area we live in was without electricity from the early morning until late this afternoon. However by Tuesday all the May orders on our books will be dispatched. And I am now aiming at addressing the wholesale list from early next week - it will happen I promise. Good news on the SDS front, we received another batch of them including for plantation ouds and across next week they will be uploaded to the site. Please remember SDS are only available by logging into your account and going to the SDS section. Here you find everything on file connected to your purchases. Ok, we are taking the weekend off now for some family time, so we will be out of contact until Monday. Thanks to everyone as always for your support of our little business and if it's ever possible to leave reviews please do so as they help improve the website experience for everyone that visits. Thank you, 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!
