23rd April at 4.10pm: Unfortunately, regarding the message below and lead-times, I called it wrong. My apologies. As such all orders placed upto the 15th - and about half of those placed on the 16th, will leave by Friday 26th. On Thursday no collections are possible by couriers as it's a national holiday here in Italy. On the subject of SDS, the company handling this for us, has written to me today, acknowledged more are owed to us (submitted in December and January) and that they are now working on producing the final lot of SDS for us. This includes Plantation, Wild and Jungle ouds that many of you ask about. Next, I have spent the past year (literally) sampling ambrette seed e.o and absolutes from various producers and resellers to no avail. They all smell really poor compared to what I carried. They are too nutty, too fatty, too vegetative, too lacklustre, falling away very fast, and really dont showcase the musky textured qualities of a top ambrette properly. Even the big naturals brands are all obtaining and selling sucky poor man's ambrette at the moment. Written as I have decided to move over to carrying ambrette CO2 and this will be in place until I can find a wow absolute and E.O again. CO2 is still not on par with what I had, but it offers a far better profile on the musky front than the abs and e.os in the market place right now. This CO2 will be in stock by early May. Next, we will put all the non.eu destinations we can supply to, back on our website on May 6th - so U.A.E, UK, Switzerland, Saudi Arabia, Singapore and Australia. On the new product front, the next batch of 10 superstars will be released on the 20th May - lots more roses planned. And I will get started on expanding the bulk wholesale side of the business very soon - more aromatics and offered in larger weights as standard - likely upto a kilo on the website. Ok I will write again by Monday. Thank you, Adam : )
19th April at 5pm: Quick update to first say I have now added the following big ticket aromatics to the website: Italian Oakwood Absolute, Organic Georgian Rose Raduga Otto and finally Persian P.E.A Intense Rose (Otto). Orders, as I type with exception to 3 orders, every order placed up until the 11th has left with the couriers. By Monday 22nd, all orders placed up until the 14th will leave with couriers and I will type again across Monday with another update. Bulk Wholesale orders that still need to be manually typed and billed will be done so by Tuesday 23rd. Thank you, Adam : )
15th April at 5.30pm: Today I am running behind but I am happy to say that along with all E.U countries, we now can supply to the USA again. USA switched on just now and the Mysore Sandalwood 4 year aged E.O offer is extended for a week for USA clients to enjoy too. By Wednesday 17th all orders from the 9th April will be dispatched with DHL. Although we are rather full-on with orders at the moment, the lead time will improve significantly very shortly. Reason being since reopening the focus has been solely on building stocks up and we have staff coming on as well now (at last!). I will write again on Wednesday regarding lead times. This week my tasks are to get on top of the SDS we are owed by the company we have employed to handle this. And other than this I am adamant I will update the bulk wholesale list with more aromatics. Finally for now - the following 11 aromatics have recently been added to the site - French Rose Geranium E.O, Sandalwood Mysore E.O 4 Year Aged, Tuscan Olive Leaf Absolute, Mitti Attar (Petrichor), Persian Queen of Roses (Otto), Tomato Leaf Absolute, Oud Assami Skank E.O V.1, South Indian 10 Year Aged Vetiver E.O, Bengali Nagarmotha E.O, VIolet Leaf Concrete, Italian Helichrysum Absolute S.G. Thank you, Adam : )

Adam Michael has this to say “The aroma of petitgrain water absolute is very potent, and as I have come to learn, flooding a good sized living space just from adding a few drops to the smelling strip! A green heart note material, quite heady, bursting with intense green petitgrain character, full of watery citrus fresh nuances and noticeable woody undertones. The heart is more of the same but with noticeable clean leafy qualities and striking vegetative back notes.
Petitgrain water absolute aka orange brouts absolute is a solvent extracted material from orange leaves hydrolate. With its dark green colour and dark deep scent this absolute needs to be used with a light hand.
Used sparingly it imparts leafy freshness and naturalness to almost all compositions, can be used in colognes, citrus and wood accords, a must for building petitgrain and neroli notes, improving modern green accords and floral bouquets.”
Botanical Name: Citrus aurantium var. amara
Origin: Morocco

Mouthwatery and fresh like the traditional citrus water of orange blossom we use for sweets here in Cyprus..so tempting to drink it..

I adore petitgrain, neroli, orange blossom.
I buy some of every one I can find – good or bad.
This is not something I have experienced before: this opens with cucumber, fragrant, fresh cucumber!
This lends this petitgrain, an open air feeling, a bigness about it. It is exotic, light. The citrus is still there: a light floral sweetness, but there is an added complexity.
This is diffusive w/o overwhelming, and it has some tenacity, it will last a good while on the strip.
Definitely a happy discovery, very unusual.

Leans towards Neroli and is beautiful with light woods. Feels a lot less “vegetable matter-vegetal” than Petitgrain essential oil. It gives lift and clarity in a blend.
Anna (verified owner) –
I totally agree with Adam, this is initially a veeery green and pungent material. Its greeness is defenitely much more pronounced comparing to petigrain oil. It keeps a citrus profile, but here it is all about orange leaves!

The first moment – a dirty, damp, moldy cellar. Then scorched earth, clay for transplanting flowers and fresh forest after the rain. Yes, the dirty component in the good..it wants to be near flowers, near fruit, near wood..everywhere. Because it is so delightfully dirty and alluring at the same time that it wants to be everywhere. It’s a green monster and I really love this! 🙂
Kai Leon Art Perfumer (verified owner) –
A perfect menage a trois between ethereal Floral, golden fruit Hesperide and bitter fresh Green Notes – exhillirating yet ‘chill and cool’, surprisingly powerful, both in radiance and tenacity, uplifting, childlike happy but with adult sensual weight. What is remarkable, due to its Absolute’ nature, this lovely gem bring freshness of the top – into heart and even base of perfume – if properly fixed with fine woods and roots (Sandalwood, Spikenard, resins. Frankincense (a bit) and this absolute (more than a bit) was a little relevation of a combination.
Kai Leon Art Parfumeur (verified owner) –
The velvetiest, the fruitiest, and the most floral multifaceted Petitgrain essence ever. More than that, it has indeed its own unique green overtone, a sort of unripe melon. And it does not have an occasional acrid note that comes up in Petitrain essential oil, particularly in Paraguai varieties.
Everybody loves Petitrain, and I used my bottle of it over friendly and fast – in every Hesperide accord, enhancing my shower gel, and easily on its own as a light summer perfume.
