Update 12th May at 9.55pm: First, our order book. The majority of orders placed between the 5th to 7th May have been collected by the couriers, more will be collected tomorrow, and the rest will be collected by the couriers on May 16th. Many easy/quick to assemble orders placed after the 7th have also been collected by the couriers. We are working through the weekend, and I will update again here on Monday concerning lead-times. I am very sorry about the delays and also for the time it is taking me to reply to emails at the moment. Next, good news on the horizon. By mid-late June I will release a 30 year aged labdanum, Persian cypress e.o, Persian neroli e.o, two Nagaland ouds, one jungle- plantation, the other wild, plus cedarmoss absolute, oakmoss absolute – one of my original sources, melonal n.i, guaiacol n.i, my own commissioned saffron oleo resin red gold, olive absolute (possibly two offerings), another flawless Persian rose otto, sandalwood India Royal - a 1930’s vintage Mysore, plus another intro-level oud from Thailand, a two year aged green sacra tincture, a flawless Indonesian sandalwood CO2 that I have been wearing on my forearms every day this week (heavenly and affordable), plus protium copal resin, elemi resin, a full spectrum green coloured royal hojari resin and I am musing on releasing a trial experiment of stock flower extrait by enfleurage – musing because it’s so fleeting. And finally, for the month of May I have released oud wild Assam e.o, oud Thai fruity-spice e.o (intro level oud), Italian 4-fold lemon super concentrate e.o, oud Chanthaburi honey e.o, orris Tuscan absolute 50% (8% Irones) , oud wild tabak e.o (our first quarter of a million euros per kilo aromatic) plus our 20-month aged grey ambergris 3% tincture and our stunning Indian sandalwood sweetie CO2. Thank you to everyone for the support of our business and as always, if its possible, please do leave product reviews on the website. Thanks, Adam : ) Close

Adam Michael has this to say “This is a highly seductive floral absolute, the initial top note of osmanthus absolute is somewhat fruity and sweet comparable maybe to eating yellow Mirabelle plums late in the summer. However it is the heart note that makes this utterly spectacular as I detect an infusion of sweet juicy apricots, fresh cream and a thick helping of Greek honey. This absolute is truly beautiful, incredibly tenacious and the jewel in the floral absolute crown. Used in high class floral perfumes and bases, blends particularly well with cassie, blue lotus, mimosa, orange blossom, peach CO2. Osmanthus should also be considered as an impact floral-fruit note.”
This absolute is of Chinese origin and is produced by solvent extraction of the fragrant flowers. The colour is golden yellow and it takes approximately 3000 kilos of flowers to produce just one kilo of this osmanthus absolute. We now also offer osmanthus concrete.

It’s really incredible. So tough, deep, with a true floral flavor. It is completely different from the other Osmanthus, which have different consistency and smell. It’s really an experience for me to work with. It is beautiful with other flowers, citrus and balsamic oils. Favourite!

There is a season in the south of China,the city is fragrant with osmanthus flowers.this means good luck and happiness,people want to keep them.We can also make many different snacks with osmanthus. The original essence of Osmanthus makes me feel the taste of my hometown from the smell.

Many of the most intense, fresh and richest scents that nature can offer us come from flowers of white flower – so does from Osmanthus flowers that are so beautiful as well – and we can find a very symbolic meaning of number 4 looking at those “waxy” petals.
It smells so sweet, and so fresh at the same time. I would combine it with Yuzu or even lemon as well as with black or green sacra.
And again – thank you Adam, thank you Eleonora for letting us have such a treasure 🙂

I love the richness of osmanthus absolute and this is a fine specimin, it’s both astringent bitter and sharp and sweet fruity and crisp. Sophistication is its essence for me, the tanned leather tea and sparkling Apricot champagne qualities of this treasure make it invaluable for creating chic, elegant, classic and also fairly unusual fragrances. Not to be missed!

Very fruity and rich.

I love Osmanthus precisely because of the fruity-animalic interplay. Sometimes the leather aspect is a bit owerwhelming, but not in this case. It’s just perfect and addictive. At times there is just juicy sweet carefree apricots i can sense and at other just goats that somehow got to play with wax. Most of the time it’s just both perfectly matched together, seasoned with some sparkling – as another reviewer mentioned.

Would highly recommend to anyone. One of the best examples I have encountered.

I literally CAN’T STOP wearing this. Can’t stop won’t stop 😉 I made a very basic blend with frankincense and I don’t want to wear anything else right now. Which reminds me, I also need to buy the whole of Hermitage’s frankincense collection bc I’m loving what I have lol. But ok, back to this beauty…when I first smelled it, I actually didn’t think I’d love it. It smelled a little too oily for my novice nose, but after diluting it, I’m just in love with this incredibly eloquent and feminine floral.
Also thank you Hermitage for keeping the supply chain short… your new pricing made this such an easy yes for me as it was an oil I’d been eyeing and so curious to try before! TY!!!
