26th April at 7.35pm: A quick update. Many parcels have left today. The situation is as follows, we still have one order left to process for the 10th (Paris retailer), one for the 11th and a lot more still for the 15th through to the 18th - mostly USA wholesale orders. The plan now is to work on orders across the weekend and by no later than Tuesday 30th - every order placed upto the 18th will be dispatched. Ideally they will all be out by Monday 29th but based on how I called it wrong recently I think it's better to call it for Tuesday. I'll update on order lead times for the 19th onwards on Monday 29th. It goes without saying that I am very sorry about the lead-time but like the lab and staff, it is now just a matter of a month or so before we are better organised, holding larger stocks of each aromatic, and in turn the lead-times will drastically improve going forward. Ok, back on Monday and thank you to everyone for the continued support. Thank you, Adam : )
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 rose concrete from Turkey is such an inviting material that I couldn’t resist evaluating it directly on my skin. The soft waxy consistency of this Turkish rose concrete melts immediately revealing its top notes, characteristically deep rich rose damascena floral and very similar actually to smelling the Turkish absolute neat from the bottle.
Slowly this concrete material begins to literally ooze wet dewy rose and a gorgeous plush velvety geranium warmth. This material then takes a very interesting turn as it morphs into something that better resembles smelling Persian rose otto, bursting with those light, delicate, and intensely fresh rose water nuances. This is all underpinned with a gentle sparkling metallic geranium quality that I better associate with the top notes of a good bottle of Chinese geranium. This otto aroma finishes with a noticeable sweet musk rose nuance that actually reminds me of smelling pink rose musk otto.
The colour is orange yellow when solid and comparable to Vaseline as it is very soft and waxy. This is such an uplifting and feel good material, brilliant for those creating solid perfumes, truly sublime for creating luxury hand creams, face creams and lotions and generally this is a must try material for everyone who loves rose. Highly recommend to everyone.”

This concrete is everything the description above says and more.
Sooo good and versatile.
Can’t get enough.

This Turkish Rose Concrete has a sublime, airy, citrus-like quality amongst the waxy, light petals.
I actually enjoy this more than the essential oil, especially for making attar as it imparts a wider spectrum of aroma to a blend.
It is smooth and soft with petals that feel like they have been touched by white ambergris.

I love this concrete so much. There are moments while smelling this material that reminds me of my childhood and smelling roses as I passed them by. I’ve been adding this Turkish rose to my mixes straight, shaking everyday and after six weeks I’ll remove any remaining pieces with a quick freeze and filter.

I have several little tubs of this in my Hermitage stash and delight in it both “straight from the bottle” as well as a base to creamy solid perfume and lotions. It’s easy to work with due to its lovely, luscious texture, and envelops you like a warm embrace with its notes of all water, earth, and sun.
Spencer R (verified owner) –
This is a nice modern rose. Jammy, fresh, “young”, warm and full of possibilities. I agree that it is similar to geranium. I am looking forward to purchasing more on my next order!
Reimar (verified owner) –
To me, this rose concrete has become a reference material for pure and true-to-nature rose scent. It’s dewy-fresh and has none of the typical side notes, like jam or honey (or worse), which are actually not present in the live scent to the same degree as some materials would make you believe (I have 7 different fragrant roses in my garden). An ideal addition for ultra-fine skin care products!

I love this one for sure, the scent is not strong but it’s fruity and sweet. I used it to make an oil, diluting 1ml in 10ml carrier oil and it was such a treat to my skin. So, for a purpose like that it is perfect, or a top note in a solid perfume maybe, or as the start of a solid perfume. I do recommend trying it! The oil I made felt like luxury and the scent was not overwhelming on the face. I loved it.
