July 6th: UNITED KINGDOM CUSTOMERS ONLY: As I type I am off work, however I realise this message needs to be written. Yesterday our courier agent informed us that UPS has vastly increased the price of the UK saver service to the point its now more expensive than using the express service. As such we have now been switched to the express service and as a result, the shipping price for UK customers has now increased from 19.99 to 38.99. I am extremely sorry about this but there is nothing I can do in this instance. Please note as well that this is a cost price, we do not make profits at all on shipping costs.
July 5th: Hello World, Adam Michael here. Just a quick message to say that all orders received up to 17.10pm Italy time will leave with the couriers tomorrow. We are now going to take some time off work as we really need a rest. As such, orders we may now receive will be sent from Tuesday 12th July. Please kindly note from now until our return we will not be responding to emails. 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.”
Botanical Name: Citrus aurantium L. ssp. Amara

john2 (verified owner) –
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.
