15th September at 13.40pm: Adam Michael here with a little update. First, our offering of rose aromatics has become too big - largest online offering in Europe - and so we are phasing out ROSE OTTO SUPER PREMIUM, ROSE OTTO CO2 ORGANIC and ROSE PETALS PERSIAN OTTO. These beautiful materials sourced directly are available at heavily reduced prices and available whilst stocks last. Next, OSMANTHUS ABS is now priced at just 375 Euros per 50G and this epic multi layered beauty is sourced directly through my own network in China. Next, SANDALWOOD MUSK 1960 CO2, stocks are very low, we have maybe a weeks supply based on how it is selling, so if you want a bottle or more of this old school dreamy vintage smelling wonder, then buy it now as this quality of sandalwood is no easy feat at all to source. Next, we now have stocks again of the pink champagne coloured Wild Strawberry Liquid and very soon I will also be writing about this aromatic. Kewda E.O, lots are asking about it, but note it has had lots of delays and realistically now, I wont have supplies of this until at least mid November. Regarding order lead-times, currently the lead-time still stands at 7 working days and I thank all clients for their patience as we process orders as fast as we can. Finally for now, we are working with a company that specialises in the paperwork side of our business and are hopeful towards the close of 2021 that we should have REACH COMPLIANT paperwork in place on the website for every product we sell. I will write again here on Monday 20th. Thank you, Adam : ) Dismiss
Adam Michael has this to say “Patchouli dark essential oil exudes warm, rich, fruity, and oriental sweet notes throughout its aromatic development with wine like qualities in the top and interesting if somewhat fleeting herbaceous nuances in the heart. Patchouli dark essential oil is very good material that stored properly will age beautifully. The colour is light amber/orange, of a pourable viscosity and produced by steam distilling the dry leaves.
A must when building oriental notes and chypre fragrances. Useful within amber bases, works wonderfully within modern floral accords, and I always find it pairs especially well with vetivert, labdanum and rose materials.”

I don’t have any other patchouli to compare this too but it is a pleasant smelling oil, it has chocolate elements to it, you won’t find any mint-like facets to this one. It pairs very well with vetivert, benzoin, and coconut, and never fails to add depth to my creations.

Love it – my favourite when worn solo so far. Smooth, sweet and deliciously earthy – takes me back to my teenage years in Folkestone in the Moon Palace, a hippy shrine full of incense, dream catchers and hand woven garments. Added a little Patchouli Super Premium to it and found this adds several more layers, depth and complexity – although I’m unable to evaluate it as a perfumer might.

Before I have never had dark pachouli. I used heart pachouli. So its huge differences between these. Heart pachouli is sweet, light, a bit Woody. Dark pachouli is stronger and more woody. If you no pro in oils just keep in mind that smell of different type of pachouli is very different.

The first patchouli I worked with, it has chocolatey notes along with soapy nuances.

For its price and after trying lots of different patchouli oils this is a star..i love the powdery note that leaves behind but also the soft sweetness and the warmth ..its a 5 star yes

Love that Patchouli. It is without the “rooty”, musty and almost insecticide smell of almost all other Patchouli I have had… And only a combination of clean but humid and fresh trunk smell remains, with hints of cedarwood.

Oh my… delicious dark patchouli with wafts of chocolate and nose tingling greenery, reminds me a little bit of After Eight Mints. As the description mentions, this one for sure gets better with age.
