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 “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.”
Botanical Name: Bursera graveolens
Origin: Ecuador

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.
Charalambos Charalambous (verified owner) –
Milky with lots of coconut hints but ufcourse it is a woody powerhouse that reminds you its true origin and spirituality
Robert (verified owner) –
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!
Anag (verified owner) –
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.
Wilco L (verified owner) –
truly sublime palo santo oil! highly recommended.
innasany (verified owner) –
My husband loves palo santo – it reminds him of his first leather shoes he got as a child. But Adam’s Palo Santo took his breath away…and to be honest, me too. It’s a different league from what I’ve bought so far. Really, I have never felt such milky, citrusy, even leathery tones in anything. Like sacred Incense. The class! From now on Palo Santo only from Adam and Eleanore!
Anton B (verified owner) –
The grandest Palo Santo ever! And I’ve tried 3 different ones. Thank you so much to all those who leave comments.
Thanks to the previous feedback – I read about the milk and the tree. And decided to give it a try.
That’s exactly what it is! Exactly milk and wood! Only the milk is not synthetic, but real, gentle milk.
A masterpiece material!
And a huge thank you!
Hugs, Medea and Anton.
