26th April at 7.35pm: A quick update. Many parcels have left today. The situation is as follows, we still have one order left to process for the 10th (Paris retailer), one for the 11th and a lot more still for the 15th through to the 18th - mostly USA wholesale orders. The plan now is to work on orders across the weekend and by no later than Tuesday 30th - every order placed upto the 18th will be dispatched. Ideally they will all be out by Monday 29th but based on how I called it wrong recently I think it's better to call it for Tuesday. I'll update on order lead times for the 19th onwards on Monday 29th. It goes without saying that I am very sorry about the lead-time but like the lab and staff, it is now just a matter of a month or so before we are better organised, holding larger stocks of each aromatic, and in turn the lead-times will drastically improve going forward. Ok, back on Monday and thank you to everyone for the continued support. Thank you, Adam : )
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 Khao Yai Oud is a very pleasant aged masculine material that aromatically is old saturated resinous woody throughout, with traces of decay, spice, incense, leather, and cresole entwined with plumes of exotic sweet fruit qualities. An exceptionally well balanced bitter-sweet material throughout and nothing remotely like our popular and certainly more affordable plantation offerings. This wild oud is both clean and refined throughout.
The aroma profile is pretty consistent, however towards the dry down on both the strip and my skin, it displays soft oleo resinous peppery qualities along with the cleanest characteristic aspects found within vetiver heart materials.
Applied to my skin (back of my hand), I can detect this aroma for about 10 ish hours, and this despite the washing of my hands. The aroma on strip and skin is an intimate affair, becoming more noticeable when applied in generous amounts.
Subject to weight, warm amber red to mud brown in colour and of a slightly thick resinous, yet pourable consistency. 6 years aged at the time of writing (30/08/20) and produced in a stainless steel pot.
This wild oud will benefit (in my opinion) perfume creations of a dark, sultry, animalic, erotic and sexually charged theme. Eleonora on the other hand interprets this material differently and does not associate this aromatic with anything erotic or sexually charged. For her, this Khao Yai Oud is a refined, distinguished, attractive, 30-40 something gentleman’s scent, masculine, elegant and understated.”

The good oud. Good oud in a tiny amount. It works. The smell is as described. In the search of the holy grail of ouds. It’s a good oud. As described.

I received this oud in the mail today and I generally don’t like to review a product like this so quickly. Oud is so deep and complex that one really needs to take time to write a full evaluation. I did open the sample and noticed such a quality that stood out – I figured that I would write a first impression.
Most typical run-of-the-mill ouds are a little off-putting to me when they are fresh from the bottle. In this case, however, this Wild Khao Yai was pleasant from the very beginning. I can tell this has been aged well and is definitely high quality. As I continue to get to know this oud, I plan on coming back and writing a more detailed review.

A really masterpiece offered by hermitage store. Just like the smell of Wet earth after heavy rain in summer in Morocco were all the dry fruits, the spices start to infuse their aroma and exotic qualities after the hot sun starts to shine again..worth having this in our collection..a very unique oil!!

Absolutely astonishing material!! I love it’s fresh green first nose, like a wet forest after rain, just brilliant!

Atmospheric, powerful yet smoothly rounded, weaving all the beautiful facets, mentioned by Adam, into choralic unison around the rich resinous incense changing through time – of exotic old forest overgrowing ruins of ancient temple – right after rain, moving from dense to ethereal, remaining in elegant balance of all its notes. This Oud keeps growing its charms and sense of moist airy space full of mysteries – all the way to drydown. Gorgeous!
