2nd October at 9.05pm: All orders placed upto the 20th September will be dispatched by tomorrow. All orders received up until the 25th September will be dispatched by 6th October. I will provide dispatch times here, for orders placed from 26th October to 28th October on 6th October. Thanks, Adam : )
September at 5.30pm: First apologies for not writing here yesterday as intended. As I type all orders placed upto the 15th September, will be dispatched by tomorrow with couriers, and orders placed upto the 16th will all leave by Friday 29th. Orders placed on the 17th will leave by Monday 2nd October. And on Monday 2nd October I will provide dispatch times for orders placed on the 18th to the 20th September. So at the moment the lead-time is about 2 weeks from placing your order. Normally what happens is we reopen, many orders come in and then things slow down and we normalise. However in this instance I suspect it won't happen this way. As we close in October (see below) I am seeing regulars buying much more to cover themselves across the period we are closed. Add to this my wholesale work which is now coming in really fast - as I have started sending out the stock reduction list, and therefore I forecast a 2 week lead time all the way to closing. Meaning once we stop taking orders - It's probable I will still need 2 weeks to finish before I can close properly for the year. Therefore if you do want something, plan ahead please and only buy if you can wait as with the utmost respect, I am not letting anyone queue-jump, even if they go on to tell me they haven't seen these updates.
On the subject of the stock reduction list - due to lack of time, I have to create it in two parts. Part one covers aromatics A-K and part two will be sent out on email (to those on the list) on October 6th. Regarding the new releases, they will happen, this I promise but I can't get that job done for this Sunday now. I'll need until mid October to make that happen. If you are interested in the new releases all I can advise is to keep checking back here as I will confirm the release date before, well, releasing the new aromatics! On the subject of Ambergris, it's a really touchy topic for me at the moment and I am going to comment on this in more detail shortly, but note I am rethinking decisions concerning ambergris. Back here with a final update on Friday afternoon. Thanks, Adam : )
22nd September at 4.35pm: A quick progress update. By Monday 25th all orders received up to September 11th will be dispatched. By Friday 29th all orders received up to September 16th will be dispatched. Of course, be assured I will push to get as many orders as possible dispatched. For business clients waiting on a copy of the stock-reduction-list, this will be emailed across to you by Wednesday 27th. I will be taking tomorrow off completely for family time and will be back at work across the early part of Sunday afternoon. Next mini update here will be on Tuesday 26th. Thank you, Adam : )
19th September at 6.55pm: Right, update time. First, I am now working on the orders placed from 1st to 17th September and I think within 7-10 days maximum they will all be dispatched, along with the gifts : ) Next, I am going to release Kerala Indian Sandalwood 1953 E.O by Sunday 1st October, along with Organic Moldovan Pink Rose Musk Otto, 20% White Ambergris Aged tincture and Phenyl Ethyl Alcohol by Fermentation. If I can find the time I will also release another Assami grown Oud (plantation) and a vintage offering of Indian Vetiver E.O and Red Myrrh E.O (sublime profiles) that I have held back for the past year now. Regarding closing for 2023 in October (please read below) I need to kindly put on record that I won't be able to make exceptions for clients - even those who have become friends, and to please keep this in mind and plan ahead should you need something specific from Hermitage. I will write again by the end of the week and thank you very much to everyone for the continued support. Adam : )
18th September Update. Please read carefully.

Then once all orders are dispatched and delivered, we will close and reopen by mid-January 2024/as soon as the laboratory is finished.

Thank you, Adam : )

Adam Michael has this to say” I have been buying and selling oud for the past few years now and am privileged to access the same networks as “artisan oud gods” for everything Thai and Hindi related (24/02/23).
The opening here with this oud Laos v2 hydro ultra is full on dark tan wood shavings, rich fertile soil, lots of classic plantation sticky syrupy warm fruit effects, gourmand tonalities and a shot of sugar and spice for good measure. For me profile wise this is a Thai meets Laos mash-up as those classic DNA Thai fruit vibes are off the charts here and as time progresses on skin or strip, it is indeed these blissful sticky warm fruit plumes that dominate your immediate environment.
What we have here in my opinion is yet another top draw intro-level oud that is superior to a lot of the easily accessible and similar price point – plantation ouds online. This is a cost-effective, solid performing, non-offensive crowd-pleasing bottle of oud that will play nice with many other natural aromatics, from the roses, tobaccos, vetivers, through to cocoas, sandalwoods and countless more of the usual perfumery pairings. For perfumers who need real oud Laos in their compositions, look no further as this ticks all the boxes.
Again, to be clear this is 100% free from skanky, barnyard and horsey qualities that often come with plantation productions, and of which extend the performance times. As such neat on my skin, I get approximately 4 hours of wear from a generous swipe on my skin. Hydro distilled, amber orange in colour and of a thick but pourable viscosity.”

Smooth soft fruity and elegant but not an oud that easily be ignored because this special release its out of this world..think of thick fig jam with some apricot spread infused in aged Frankincense incence but in a sacred tea ceremony fantasy- like umami flavor..Dark notes are missing here,no animalic shadows either but rather a cooling breeze of patchouli heart ,sweet amber nuances and sacred jade wood covered in deep honey cloud so imagine finding yourself in a mystic transition to the Golden corridor of heaven..without exception a high grade of oud.
