23rd April at 4.10pm: Unfortunately, regarding the message below and lead-times, I called it wrong. My apologies. As such all orders placed upto the 15th - and about half of those placed on the 16th, will leave by Friday 26th. On Thursday no collections are possible by couriers as it's a national holiday here in Italy. On the subject of SDS, the company handling this for us, has written to me today, acknowledged more are owed to us (submitted in December and January) and that they are now working on producing the final lot of SDS for us. This includes Plantation, Wild and Jungle ouds that many of you ask about. Next, I have spent the past year (literally) sampling ambrette seed e.o and absolutes from various producers and resellers to no avail. They all smell really poor compared to what I carried. They are too nutty, too fatty, too vegetative, too lacklustre, falling away very fast, and really dont showcase the musky textured qualities of a top ambrette properly. Even the big naturals brands are all obtaining and selling sucky poor man's ambrette at the moment. Written as I have decided to move over to carrying ambrette CO2 and this will be in place until I can find a wow absolute and E.O again. CO2 is still not on par with what I had, but it offers a far better profile on the musky front than the abs and e.os in the market place right now. This CO2 will be in stock by early May. Next, we will put all the non.eu destinations we can supply to, back on our website on May 6th - so U.A.E, UK, Switzerland, Saudi Arabia, Singapore and Australia. On the new product front, the next batch of 10 superstars will be released on the 20th May - lots more roses planned. And I will get started on expanding the bulk wholesale side of the business very soon - more aromatics and offered in larger weights as standard - likely upto a kilo on the website. Ok I will write again by Monday. Thank you, Adam : )
19th April at 5pm: Quick update to first say I have now added the following big ticket aromatics to the website: Italian Oakwood Absolute, Organic Georgian Rose Raduga Otto and finally Persian P.E.A Intense Rose (Otto). Orders, as I type with exception to 3 orders, every order placed up until the 11th has left with the couriers. By Monday 22nd, all orders placed up until the 14th will leave with couriers and I will type again across Monday with another update. Bulk Wholesale orders that still need to be manually typed and billed will be done so by Tuesday 23rd. Thank you, Adam : )
15th April at 5.30pm: Today I am running behind but I am happy to say that along with all E.U countries, we now can supply to the USA again. USA switched on just now and the Mysore Sandalwood 4 year aged E.O offer is extended for a week for USA clients to enjoy too. By Wednesday 17th all orders from the 9th April will be dispatched with DHL. Although we are rather full-on with orders at the moment, the lead time will improve significantly very shortly. Reason being since reopening the focus has been solely on building stocks up and we have staff coming on as well now (at last!). I will write again on Wednesday regarding lead times. This week my tasks are to get on top of the SDS we are owed by the company we have employed to handle this. And other than this I am adamant I will update the bulk wholesale list with more aromatics. Finally for now - the following 11 aromatics have recently been added to the site - French Rose Geranium E.O, Sandalwood Mysore E.O 4 Year Aged, Tuscan Olive Leaf Absolute, Mitti Attar (Petrichor), Persian Queen of Roses (Otto), Tomato Leaf Absolute, Oud Assami Skank E.O V.1, South Indian 10 Year Aged Vetiver E.O, Bengali Nagarmotha E.O, VIolet Leaf Concrete, Italian Helichrysum Absolute S.G. Thank you, Adam : )

Adam Michael has this to say “When neroli essential oil is produced the left over distillation water will contain water soluble components from the essential oil. This by-product which most may know in the form of neroli water is solvent extracted and in doing so we get this orange flower water absolute.
The aroma is floral fresh, crisp, light, delicate yet powerful, with rice pudding and dry leafy green naunces throughout. Ultimately this aroma is neroli but all aspects of its aromatic character are super charged, more alive, intense and instantly noticeable.The tenacity is mind blowing, the colour is an energetic orange and this material is of a pourable viscosity.
Blends especially well with Citrus aurantium materials, jasmines, narcissus, mandarins, bergamot, ylang ylangs, and frangipani. This has much versatility in citrus blends, amber, chypre and powder orientated colognes.”
Botanical Name: Citrus aurantium L. var. amara
Origin: Tunisia

A very pungent, narcotic, powerful floral that comes in a gorgeous dark viscous orange-red colour. It pares perfectly with other white, waxy, heady florals – jasmine in my case. Just a little needed given its strength so while a tad expensive, it works its deep magic in small doses.

I’m astonished this hasn’t yet received more reviews. Admittedly, for me, the idea of this material sounded slightly odd considering how it’s actually made, but in no way does that make this an inferior product, nor should it in any way be overlooked.
This is the missing link between neroli’s soapy freshness and the sweet depths of orange flower absolute, but what sets it apart from them both is a dreamy, almost creamy element, which I’m guessing is the rice pudding facet that Adam refers to. Blended with Tolu Balsam abs, also from Hermitage, takes this aromatic somewhere supernatural and am sure a similar, dazzling effect will occur when combined with other balsams rich in vanillin. In my ongoing quest to create the ultimate orange blossom soliflore this really feels like the last piece of the puzzle, which has made my latest attempt by far the best. I’m a big fan of the bitter orange panoply, but dare I say, this might be my favourite of them all.

Very fine but powerful scent
White flower with light indolic note and fantastic freshness

I love all things orange blossom, all things petit grain-
This is a huge , big absolute! Out of the bottle it is powerful, the floral bordering on aggressive. It just doesn’t have enough room to express itself.
Once in dilution, it becomes much more relaxed. Still an enormous material, once it unfolds it is the gorgeous orange blossom, a fresh narcotic orange blossom, not delicate, not ethereal, a presence of beauty.
And it lasts forever!
I think I could put this in an eai de cologne, and it would carry the day. This is the one I use when I don’t want to loose it.
Or I could make a multi level orange blossom, and this at low levels could extend.
It will be fun to play with this one- it will stand up to aroma chemicals , w/o loosing it .

Hear me out. This is quite an interesting member of the bitter orange family. I see this as the wintry orange blossom of your dreams. I can see how it should be closer to neroli, and that quality is there, but to me It’s like making homemade kettle corn and pouring a mature orange blossom over it instead of butter. Orange blossom for the foodie in you. Sweet with a sprinkle of salt. Try it with vanillic balsams or rose bourbon.

Luxurious and dense in its floral-green-hesperide complexities, definetly a fine perfume on its own, fully appreciated in dilution, with glowy presense in high sillage. Out of all Orange blossoms materials, it is the easiest love from first breath to the last traces. The fact that – it is redistilled from the hydrosol waters – with all its sparkling tenacity enhances the sense of marvel. Six stars out of five.
