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.

Adam Michael has this to say “Palo Santo also known as holy wood is produced by steam distilling the aged wood of Bursera graveolens. The material is clear to light yellow in colour and of a pourable viscosity.
The aroma of Palo Santo can be considerably different from batch to batch I find. Generally though the aroma is of a milky, minty, lactonic and somewhat warm woody resinous character. This particular batch we are adding today (February 2019) is a fresh distillation, very powerful, with decided minty head notes and a milky-lactonic woody heart. Over time this material will mellow and whilst its minty character will lose part of its oomph, its woody heart notes will keep growing in depth and beauty.
Useful for imparting extra milky character within ylang ylang and sandalwood accords, pairs nicely with pemou oil, y-octalactone, coconut aldehyde, and offers interesting effects in trace amounts when added to white floral creations.”

I love this oil because of its properties. This wood is widely used in many spirtual practices and well known as energy cleanses. Smell is quite strong and woody.

Milky with lots of coconut hints but ufcourse it is a woody powerhouse that reminds you its true origin and spirituality

Tricky to work with with as Palo Santo is just such a powerhouse and tends to bloom almost 10 fold in anything I blend it with. I’ve realised he prefers to be alone in my world and used as the clearing/healing medicine traditionally associated with ayahuasca ceremonies and shamanic ritual. Palo Santo can take you beyond if you let him!

Such an mystical beauty this is. Resinous and woody, but also invigoratingly minty and a tad playfully citrus-like. In a few years its minty nature dissipated in favour of this sparkly citrusy resinousness. Milky notes might be there, but do not seem really prominent to me.

A strong, pungent scent. It reminds me of a field full of herbs where I used to camp. Happy memories.
