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 “First this is 10 out of 10 on my score card all day long, if you know the smell the cypress tree puts out when it has been subjected to the sunshine throughout the day, then its probable you will join me in regarding this cypress e.o as a bonified masterpiece that provides a mind-blowing and true to life experience.
This cypress e.o hails from Iran, the country that gives us the world’s most exquisite rose ottos (honourable mention to Saudi Arabia), a country I am in love with for its aromatics and a country all online resellers reading this need to be supporting more, because if your objective is to deliver the most dazzling and captivating aromatics to your clients, if you want to be considered as one of the best in your class, if you want to be more than just a vocal mouthpiece for the greed orientated, insincere soulless European aromatic conglomerates, then sincerely look at getting behind countries such as Iran. Spanish and French Cypress E.O producers dominate yet they put out cypress e.o that is shameful and sucks real bad, usually of which can be had for around 80 Euros per kilo and touted to amateur hour aromatherapists and perfumers for around 5 euros per 10ml, people who simply don’t really care enough about the ingredients they use, or respectfully have zero idea of how this aromatic smells in nature.
Now the aroma of this sensational Persian cypress e.o is yummy sun-drenched mega-saturated cypress cones resin rich throughout, with sweet-candied aspects, bright woody tonalities, musty Jerusalem pine and ripe- juniper skins character. It is absolutely gorgeous, thirst-quenching in fact and truly captures and emits the late afternoon aroma experience of living here in Italy, sat out having an aperitivo with loved ones on the kitchen terrace, looking out over the hills, the sky filled with colour, the air still hot just before sunset, the few remaining cicadas still chirping their little hearts out, and the air filled by this exact scent from the cypress trees that are all around us. This is how cypress e.o should be, this sticky- rich resin core, the saturated melody of woods, the zappy-ness the juicy ripe fruits, just like picking the foliage at the end of a hot summers day and rubbing it in your hands.
Produced by steam distilling both the green foliage and the cones, of a pourable viscosity and strong yellow through to amber orange in colour, subject to weight/volume.
As you will see this too gets the signature gold grade from me, and sincerely this even has South African lusitanica beaten – my favourite cypress aromatic for the past 7 years – and decimates aromatically the experience of working with Moroccan atlantica also. Hands down the best cypress aromatic I have encountered, and fingers crossed this can be a forever-ever offering in the Hermitage Oils collection. However, until that is set in stone, this aromatic joins our limited-edition section. A work of aromatic art, contender for Hermitage Oils favorite 2022 release, nothing to do with corporates, as artisan as it gets, and I finish with compliments and praise for the producer.”
