25th March at 13.10pm: Apologies but my health has gone backwards rapidly in the past few days. After a conversation with Eleonora, at this moment running Hermitage is too much for us. Therefore the countries have all been temporarily removed and no orders can be placed. Please note orders received upto the time of this message will all be dispatched by today. Earlier messages now deleted from the orange banner but note I hope by mid to late next week I can get involved again with the business and reopen the website to E.U countries. New product releases, I have written content for five new aromatics and the plan was, and still is, to get to ten, and release them all in one lot. This will happen across early April. At the sametime the lab is finished, we have set up and we will get staff employed. Written as my own objective this year for the business remains the same, that being to end the stop start and get Hermitage in a position whereby it continues to flourish with or without my daily involvement. Thank you, Adam : | PS - We will reply to emails we may receive upon our return.

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

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.
