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 “This porcini mushroom absolute is Italian produced, and mamma mia it’s a so good. Yes we do offer a French offering, yes it is most pleasant, however I live in Italy now and the opportunity to offer an Italian material has presented itself to me, so I thought why not.
Smelling this Italian material neat from the bottle, you are greeted with a real blast of porcini mushroom, followed with very intense dark chocolate qualities, saltiness, and hints of a sweetened seaweed absolute that is finished with a touch of vinegar. On a smelling strip this material is much more on the side of porcini mushroom with a light touch of chocolate and I want to add these chocolate nuances really stand the material apart from the French offering, as they are much more pronounced chocolate qualities by comparison, never faint, always detectable and that is not the case with the French material which is far more savoury throughout. The drydown of this Italian material is an utter WOW, comparable to a hay, tobacco and dried earth party.
A gorgeously rich brown note, this porcini mushroom absolute is savoury and of great intensity, invaluable in gourmand, forest floor, new mown hay accords, and in trace amounts even with white flowers along with whenever you want to impart a darker shade to perfume compositions, adding depth and complexity and making things just more interesting. It is a material that is better dosed with a light hand therefore a little goes a very long way.”

Earthy, dark, oozy, a bit dusty, with a hint of chocolate.

All the earthiness and wonderfulness of the French sourced Cepes with a wonderful addition of dark chocolate facets. Love.

I am experimenting with this one for a short time but I am already in love. There’s unusual, even weird combination of mushrooms and chocolate that in common world we usualy don’t find mixed in the same place. But there’s something more beside the gourmand and natural tone: a faint skin scent, like a smelling a touch of sweet sweat hidden in an old worn coat and tha’t s what I am after.

This is so beautiful. I did not really know what to expect the scent to be like, thinking probably it would be more…what can I say? ‘Hard Porcini’..?
But no, it is so soft, warm and intimate and not ‘meaty mushroomy’ at all. Just smelling from the bottle I thought I could detect something reminding a little of tuberose. And when smelling the two together – Oh my! The porcini really compliment the tuberose. Broadening it, giving it more depth. Very elegant.
Can’t wait to play around with it.
Thank you so much for this little dark, brown, earthy secret being revealed to me Adam & Eleonora!
