July 1st: Today I have quite a lot to address. Let’s get started. First, wholesale. Linden CO2 has been raised in price by 120 euros per kilo as I can’t absorb any more increases from the producer. The price is still SUBSTANTIALLY better priced than anyone else online offering this exact product – chiefly American resellers. And consider that the US Dollar is getting extremely close now to parity with the Euro, add in we can also ship on a two-day service from Italy to USA for as little as 8.99 Euros, are getting closer to making our entire wholesale catalogue available to America, and sincerely, amongst the other respected online aromatic resellers – lets be honest chiefly all American, Hermitage represents phenomenal value to those who buy in US dollars now.
Next, Nutmeg Absolute has arrived today. The price paid is 20% more than the previous batch, and this price has been passed across in full for the wholesale pack weights offered. Our Beeswax Absolute, we used to get this under market price, however as of today’s delivery that’s no longer the case. As such the price has increased by 50% for the wholesale pack weights now offered and as crazy as this is, our prices still represent great value for money. Clove Bud Absolute has also increased by 15% and again the full cost increase is passed across for wholesale weights as our margins are wafer thin for these aromatics. Geranium Absolute is now offered in 100G pack weights, and our superstar Jasmine CO2 (best money buys) is available in pack weights up to 1 kilo now. Prices on the wholesale list are now valid until the end of this month.
Retail, price increases of Jasmine aromatics from India are never ending. The new batch of our Jasmine Wax has just arrived, and the fragrance of this wax is heavenly with a similar output to a concrete no less, the best money buys, and not to be compared with the cheap junk that floods the online scene. The increase is again being passed over, and in this specific instance, I want to put in place an improved margin as bringing this in directly, the increased buying commitments involved, the increased space for holding this low-cost stock, the back-and-forth liaising with the producer, the time to evaluate the sample batches, the input involved with customs, its all-time that must be priced in here. As such the price increases from 5.95 to 7.95 euros per 10ml bottle.
Finally, our new season 2022 Organic White Rose E.O should be with us by the third week of July. Thank you, Adam : )
Adam Michael has this to say “The aroma of Iranian/Persian rose otto essential oil is exquisite and provides even more rose complexities and unique nuances than both the ottos from Bulgaria and Turkey. This material also betters Saudia Arabian Taif in the heart through to dry down in my opinion. The opening of this Persian beauty is fulsome rich dewy rose, exudes ice tea and fresh lemon scented rosy qualities, and is finished with a pink petal rose crispness. The heart notes are again incredibly rich rosy, with geranium rose, sweet honey, and fresh lemon notes. The base notes are all of a bright green rosy character.
The flowering period of the Persian rose starts in May through to about mid-June and the whole process to produce this oil takes place in central Iran (Kashan region). Once the whole flowers are collected (petals and sepals) they are water-steam distilled. This material is clear in colour.
This rose material is full of uses for the perfumer, a must for rose accords, a useful floraliser for most fragrance families, great within fruit accords, coconut themed tropical accords and pairs especially well with orange blossom.
Side note: You will find Rose damascena essential oil/otto, crystallises at between 5-8ºC. Rest assured there is nothing wrong with it and it is quite beautiful visually. All you need to do is give your bottle a shake (with cap on) and it will be liquid again very quickly.”
As I type it is 02/02/19, and I wrote a small article about rose materials maybe 5 or 6 years ago now. Should you wish to have a read, you can do so here. Also we support two Persian rose essential oil producers. If you would like to read about the other Persian Rose Otto we sell, please click here.
