2nd October at 9.05pm: All orders placed upto the 20th September will be dispatched by tomorrow. All orders received up until the 25th September will be dispatched by 6th October. I will provide dispatch times here, for orders placed from 26th October to 28th October on 6th October. Thanks, Adam : )
September at 5.30pm: First apologies for not writing here yesterday as intended. As I type all orders placed upto the 15th September, will be dispatched by tomorrow with couriers, and orders placed upto the 16th will all leave by Friday 29th. Orders placed on the 17th will leave by Monday 2nd October. And on Monday 2nd October I will provide dispatch times for orders placed on the 18th to the 20th September. So at the moment the lead-time is about 2 weeks from placing your order. Normally what happens is we reopen, many orders come in and then things slow down and we normalise. However in this instance I suspect it won't happen this way. As we close in October (see below) I am seeing regulars buying much more to cover themselves across the period we are closed. Add to this my wholesale work which is now coming in really fast - as I have started sending out the stock reduction list, and therefore I forecast a 2 week lead time all the way to closing. Meaning once we stop taking orders - It's probable I will still need 2 weeks to finish before I can close properly for the year. Therefore if you do want something, plan ahead please and only buy if you can wait as with the utmost respect, I am not letting anyone queue-jump, even if they go on to tell me they haven't seen these updates.
On the subject of the stock reduction list - due to lack of time, I have to create it in two parts. Part one covers aromatics A-K and part two will be sent out on email (to those on the list) on October 6th. Regarding the new releases, they will happen, this I promise but I can't get that job done for this Sunday now. I'll need until mid October to make that happen. If you are interested in the new releases all I can advise is to keep checking back here as I will confirm the release date before, well, releasing the new aromatics! On the subject of Ambergris, it's a really touchy topic for me at the moment and I am going to comment on this in more detail shortly, but note I am rethinking decisions concerning ambergris. Back here with a final update on Friday afternoon. Thanks, Adam : )
22nd September at 4.35pm: A quick progress update. By Monday 25th all orders received up to September 11th will be dispatched. By Friday 29th all orders received up to September 16th will be dispatched. Of course, be assured I will push to get as many orders as possible dispatched. For business clients waiting on a copy of the stock-reduction-list, this will be emailed across to you by Wednesday 27th. I will be taking tomorrow off completely for family time and will be back at work across the early part of Sunday afternoon. Next mini update here will be on Tuesday 26th. Thank you, Adam : )
19th September at 6.55pm: Right, update time. First, I am now working on the orders placed from 1st to 17th September and I think within 7-10 days maximum they will all be dispatched, along with the gifts : ) Next, I am going to release Kerala Indian Sandalwood 1953 E.O by Sunday 1st October, along with Organic Moldovan Pink Rose Musk Otto, 20% White Ambergris Aged tincture and Phenyl Ethyl Alcohol by Fermentation. If I can find the time I will also release another Assami grown Oud (plantation) and a vintage offering of Indian Vetiver E.O and Red Myrrh E.O (sublime profiles) that I have held back for the past year now. Regarding closing for 2023 in October (please read below) I need to kindly put on record that I won't be able to make exceptions for clients - even those who have become friends, and to please keep this in mind and plan ahead should you need something specific from Hermitage. I will write again by the end of the week and thank you very much to everyone for the continued support. Adam : )
18th September Update. Please read carefully.

Then once all orders are dispatched and delivered, we will close and reopen by mid-January 2024/as soon as the laboratory is finished.
Also please note as of 30th September we will stop offering ambergris aromatics for sale.
Thank you, Adam : )

Adam Michael has this to say “Yes, smelling Pimento Berry Essential oil is not the most wow and life changing experience to be found in the world of natural aromatics. Simply it contains a lot of eugenol and thus, cue the comparisons with smelling clove bud. From the bottle the top notes are warm, sweet, spicy, deep, clean and somehow reminding me of the taste of coca cola. For me, if we are drawing comparisons, this material has a much gentler, less harsh and more balanced opening compared with clove bud. The heart of Pimento Berry Essential Oil (also known as ALLSPICE) is also very ‘rich’, sweet, sour and fruit spicy. No dry notes in the base either, of a pourable viscosity and light yellow in colour. Cheaper material exists but I find this producer offers something a little extra special regarding aroma profile.”
Arctander has this to say “Pimento Berry Oil is a pale yellow liquid with a warm-spicy, sweet odor, presenting a peculiar, but fresh and clean top note and a long lasting, sweet, balsamic-spicy bodynote with a tea-like undertone. There is certain resemblance to clove bud oil in the slightly sour-fresh, fruity topnote. Any dryness in the odor, any lack of sweet freshness and dullness of the dryout, should arouse the suspicion of the evaluator.
In perfumery, the role of pimenta berry oil is limited to that of a modifier in the modern “spicy” types of “men’s fragrance”, fougere, after-shave, etc. and occasionally as a “special note” of warm and sweet-spicy character, e.g. in chypre, Oriental bases, etc. It blends excellently with ginger oil, geranium, nerol, neryl acetate, lavender, amyl salicylate, opopanax, labdanum products, isoeugenol, ylang ylang, methyl cinnamic aldehyde, methyl ionones, patchouli, orris products, etc.”

This is a lovely complement to the outstanding carnation that I bought from Hermitage. Not at all acrid as some can be.
Anna (verified owner) –
Piemento/allspice characteristic, smooth opening – intensive, but smooth, almost leathery to my nose. After some time on a blotter, the eugenol starts to be one of the most prominent compound you detect. An awesome spice oil!

Spicy ,sweet and sexy black leather in a Ferrari..so hot and excellent quality..it does remind all the richness of clove bud that is excellent for any type spicy/masculine but also woody type fragrance !
