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 : )

We now sell this Raspberry Leaf absolute diluted to 50% in alcohol which results in a material that is pourable and ready to use. Thanks, Adam : )
Joseph Colbourne has this to say “This certainly is a magnificent material with a sensuous, edible aroma. Produced in France, this solvent-extracted absolute is made from the leaves of Rubus idaeus has a surprising depth and complexity. It opens all succulent, sweet, sun-kissed and jammy, punctuated by tart fruits, davana, mulled wine. Leathery, balsamic caramel, raisins, benozin, and notes reminiscent of fir absolute are revealed upon closer inspection. There is so much character in this absolute oil.
As a base note, this could easily extend berry damascone notes and work wonders with all sorts of rose. Raspberry leaf absolute can help to unify tricky woods accords, round out spices, and enhance tea or tobacco blends.”

I find this material starts off with a very sticky sweet plum like aroma and is ideal for those wanting to make a gourmand summer berries type scent. In the dry down there is an earthy green leaf note as well as a hint of mate tea type aroma. The two go well together I might add. Blend in some rose and spices and it starts to get very interesting indeed

Rich and beautiful blend of green jammy like or even imagine the xmas cake that smells all those dry fruits in it mulled in cognac or Rum…excellent for creating dark rose compositions or play with tobacco and oak moss..

Reminiscent of davana w more of a damascone bent. So deep jammy, a touch sour. It brightened a fruity blend w/o overwhelming. A softer note overall, drying down sweet and that’s when I get a touch of raspberry/berry and spice. Top to mid note although marrying it correctly could influence the whole.

Very interesting, reminiscent of a sweet jam and black tea leaves. I can think of a number oils that this would work well in, including tobacco, ambrette, and wood notes.

Jammy fir absolute, heavy steeped mate, wilting wet leaves, sour berries… Tenacious and friendly, it seems to blend readily and seamlessly with a wide variety of scents. Very nice.

Raspberry Leaf abs brings a roundness and complexity that has a lot in common with labdanum. As noted above it blends well with a wide variety of other materials, I would add to that list Blackcurrant Bud which has a particular affinity with Raspberry Leaf’s Mate notes. This is an interesting addition to previous Hermitage Raspberry Leaf absolutes, with slightly less jam, and a bit more subtlety over the long term. One of my favourite absolutes, which offers quite unique heart and base notes to the right composition.

Great ‘atmospheric garden’ Note for sweet herbaceous accords, with a happy hint of raspberry ketone. Very interesting affairs – with Orris root, and Cepes absolutes.

Unbelievable! It smells exactly like cognac and cherry candy!
Hugs, Medea and Anton.
