17th March Update at 9.45pm: All retail orders on our books placed between 6th to 13th March will be dispached by no later than the 19th March. All retail orders placed between 14th to 17th March will be dispatched by no later than the 22nd March. Thank you, Adam )
8th February Update at 1.40pm: The website has now been tweaked with the message below. Until early May we now supply to European Union countries only. By early May we will be better organised and able to handle a much larger workload per day. Once in place, USA, Hong Kong and United Arab Emirates will be switched back on. I have also updated the FAQ and mention this within that page. On the new product front, within the next 3 weeks, I am releasing Tuscan Green Olive Absolute Signature Gold, this project has been two years in the making, the end result is the most incredible olive absolute you will ever experience - it is light years superior to the Egyptian offering we and others carry. I am also going to release Italian Oakwood absolute, another custom production for Hermitage, plus I'll introduce Violet Leaf Concrete, and at least one of my 5 new Persian Rose Ottos for sale. If time allows I am going to release a wonderful Mitti Attar and two new Nagarmotha offerings as I want to put together a collection for Nagarmotha to showcase the vast differences in profile you can obtain. And finally I am definitely going to ramp up the wholesale list even further by introducing many more of our existing aromatics this month with wholesale options. Thank you and I will write again now here across early next week. 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.”
Botanical Name: Citrus aurantium L. ssp. Amara
Origin: Egypt

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.
