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 “This is another Thai oud that has really challenged me and one I have also fallen in love with like that of Thai Empress and our Wild Thai Signature. If you weren’t informed, I swear you would think you are smelling wild oud CO2. The DNA is next-level to plantation as it delivers more than the usual structure comprised from the usual suspects.
This is oud with a twist you see because it is clearly oud, yet it is delivered throughout in this light-airy by the seaside manner. Imagine sitting in a deck chair on white sands, looking out at the ocean, the way the waves move, those super concentrated fresh air effects, how that environment is so calming upon the soul, well I swear its here. This oud goes beyond aroma and is a form of spiritual nourishment, infused with light cresole touches, resinous sticky woody oud, non-specific florals, watery-exotic fruits and thick standout golden honey tonalities. There is something animalic here that definitely improves longevity, but its reminiscent of the super clean, non-offensive Wild Hindi Red No.1 we offer.
Whilst the core here is fresh-air oudness themed (no idea how it is possible) and whilst I seem to be alone here, at times, I find as this aromatic lightens further, as the fruity watery qualities lift, that melon dew, diluted sugar sweet limes and juicy pear water qualities come through. I find this combo always and again Eleonora doesn’t get this interpretation, but I sense it so clearly. This though is the profile, relatively simple and understated like wild ouds, and non-congested and ultra-top concentrated like many plantation ouds. On my skin type I get a 4 hour intense experience followed with a further 2 hours of close to the skin intimacy, four days on the strip, the colour is golden orange to erotic-red subject to volume and of a gloopy but pourable viscosity.
Personally I think this oud will serve you best throughout the seasons of Spring and Summer due to how this fresh-air effect combined with woody smoothness naturally complements such seasons. Likewise within perfume compositions, I have so far looked at rose and jasmine combos with this oud. My findings for roses, pairs well with rose bourbon as it dances with the vegetal components, lightly dosed and this plays great with sweet de mai through to the more moorish DNA character found within Moroccan damascena we offer, and it works well with the staple Bulgarian rose absolutes, less so pink type to my nose as it eats the rose, instead this oud works better with velvety rich red petal Bulgarian absolutes. For Jasmines, this seems to love auriculactum, enhancing the Jungle and Spring-rain qualities and creates added luxuriousness paired with our Chinese Sambac masterpiece and also our delightfully clean CO2 Jasmine. Highly recommended oud and again, my compliments to this producer.”
