23/07/21 at 17.35pm: Adam Michael here, about to finish for today but before I do I have a little update : )
The TEST order to Australia was a success, sailing through customs like pre-covid times. Therefore, in September (so after our holiday) Australia will be added back to the list of countries we can supply. Next, when we are off work in August, I am musing on cutting the offering of natural isolates and essential oils we offer by as many as 30 lines. I will touch on this more in the final newsletter and welcome thoughts from clients. Also, before we close for the holiday, I will be uploading Egyptian Orange Blossom Absolute, however it won’t be for sale as a standalone material (it also won’t make for a pleasant reading at all) BUT will feature in September’s new product releases, which includes an Orange Blossom and Neroli sample set. In September I have some more big-ticket releases lined up, including two possible oud custom distillations exclusive for Hermitage. I also have sourced more protium copal resin plus a wonderful peppery elemi resin. And the updated wholesale list that will feature more aromatics will be available to download at the start of September. Please remember if you are in the E.U, the last time for placing an order is the 27th July. And in preparation of our August holiday, all NON-E.U shipping destinations have now been switched off from our website. Thanks to all who support us and kind regards, Adam : ) Dismiss
Adam Michael has this to say “In a few words, the greatest opoponax resin (aka Hadi) you will ever smell in your life. So incredibly potent, displays all the notes you would expect, toffee sweet, caramel, liquorice, warm, rich, delicious smelling and possessing and exuding trace vanillic notes for good measure.
A must try for tincturing, offers great fixative qualities for perfumery work and simply this is just an absolutely dreamy material that needs to be burned and enjoyed like all great resins should be.”

Nice big bag of opoponax resin, yay..
Many different strengths of tincture and some experiments already under way. I look forward to seeing the results in a few months. Smells fantastic also 🙏🏼

I am very much disappointed in this opoponax resin. Opoponax is supposed to be a warm reddish-orange color while there was only one small piece like this, the rest was brown and so hard I couldn’t even break it. NOT perfect for tincturing, I wouldn’t even be able to grind it in my mortar and pestle. I love opoponax but this is second rate, I’ve smelled way better in my life. Will not order again.
