7th November at 11.35am. Update. First, Hermitage Oils website is now closed for the rest of 2023. No more orders are being accepted and all countries have been removed from the website at checkout, to prevent orders from being placed whilst we are off work. Apologies if I sound like a broken record, but politely I have received so many emails asking about placing orders already. I am now putting an out of office message in place on the email and website contact page. As soon as all orders have been delivered - we are then properly off work for the rest of 2023. Sincerely, we need a proper break as the stress of this year has become too great. On a brighter note, the following SDS are now uploaded onto the website and available to clients by logging in to your account and going to the section titled SDS (assuming you have purchased the product) ... Blue Lotus Absolute, Bergamot Mint E.O, Clove Bud Absolute, Apple Liquid, Chamomile Roman E.O, Cognac Green Signature Gold E.O, Costus Root E.O, Eucalyptus Absolute, Cocoa Absolute Signature Gold, Geranium Chinese E.O, Frankincense Rivae E.O, Buddha Wood E.O and Cedarwood Himalayan E.O. The business handling the conversion still needs to hand over about 60 more SDS and as we receive them, they will be uploaded onto the website. Thank you, Adam : )
Adam Michael has this to say “The top note of this material is of dominant bitter orange and neroli character, the heart and base notes are again full of bitter orange qualities but musty green leaves, and fruit infused woodiness becomes ever present.
A very versatile material, for florals, injects a burst of fresh orange-floral zing to the top note, pairs especially well with neroli and methyl anthranilate, fantastic within dark chocolate accords, in fact a good material generally for many foody accords. Useful for citrus accords, works well with ambers and purely in my opinion when heavily dosed down is brilliant for the edgy creation, working wonderfully with leathers, suede, rope smells, metallic notes, rust, oakwood etc.
Produced by steam distilling the leaves and twigs from the “bigaradier” orange tree, pale yellow to orange yellow in colour and of a pourable viscosity.”

This is a true Petitigrain, being distilled from the leaves of the same species (amara) of tree that yeilds Neroli. And it is a very good example. As such it contributes fresh citrus, slightly floral, leafy green notes, and works as as a reinforcing and bridging element between the top and heart of a fragrance. Most Petitgrain oils contain terpenes which are probably essential to the green, bitter character of the oil, but some of which can be aromatically quite harsh (pine-like I would say). This Bigaradier does not suffer from that problem – it stays smooth and dry all the way down. It is also surprisingly tenacious, holding up well on a strip after 6 hours.
Hermitage Oils used to offer a very special Petitgrain oil (Clementine Sur Fleur), which remains the Petitgrain by which I measure all others (even though it derived from clementine and not bitter orange). This Bigaradier is not quite in that class however it is the best true Petitgrain Ive come across for a long while.

A very fine petitgrain material, one that I have used to great effect recreating orange blossom, neroli, and calamansi blossom. Star material, and one that no perfumer should be without.
