Update 12th May at 9.55pm: First, our order book. The majority of orders placed between the 5th to 7th May have been collected by the couriers, more will be collected tomorrow, and the rest will be collected by the couriers on May 16th. Many easy/quick to assemble orders placed after the 7th have also been collected by the couriers. We are working through the weekend, and I will update again here on Monday concerning lead-times. I am very sorry about the delays and also for the time it is taking me to reply to emails at the moment. Next, good news on the horizon. By mid-late June I will release a 30 year aged labdanum, Persian cypress e.o, Persian neroli e.o, two Nagaland ouds, one jungle- plantation, the other wild, plus cedarmoss absolute, oakmoss absolute – one of my original sources, melonal n.i, guaiacol n.i, my own commissioned saffron oleo resin red gold, olive absolute (possibly two offerings), another flawless Persian rose otto, sandalwood India Royal - a 1930’s vintage Mysore, plus another intro-level oud from Thailand, a two year aged green sacra tincture, a flawless Indonesian sandalwood CO2 that I have been wearing on my forearms every day this week (heavenly and affordable), plus protium copal resin, elemi resin, a full spectrum green coloured royal hojari resin and I am musing on releasing a trial experiment of stock flower extrait by enfleurage – musing because it’s so fleeting. And finally, for the month of May I have released oud wild Assam e.o, oud Thai fruity-spice e.o (intro level oud), Italian 4-fold lemon super concentrate e.o, oud Chanthaburi honey e.o, orris Tuscan absolute 50% (8% Irones) , oud wild tabak e.o (our first quarter of a million euros per kilo aromatic) plus our 20-month aged grey ambergris 3% tincture and our stunning Indian sandalwood sweetie CO2. Thank you to everyone for the support of our business and as always, if its possible, please do leave product reviews on the website. Thanks, Adam : ) Close

Adam Michael has this to say “Ruby gromwell essential oil is gorgeous erotic lipstick red in colour, of a pourable viscosity and produced by steam distilling the Chinese dried roots of Lithospermum erythrorhizon. Unlike the CO2 which is currently produced in Europe, this material is not deodorised, is not diluted in jojoba and is indeed alcohol soluble.
The aroma is very very very powerful and I am certain will not be to the majority of peoples liking. The top note is reminiscent of beetroot with lashings of ultra-acidic vinegar, valerian, smelly feet and urine. The heart note thankfully is less aggressive, still very vegetal but sweeter and quite earthy. From this point the ugly top notes are no more and until it dries out I detect beetroots, sugar and a little cream. As I say, not for everyone but when I sampled this ruby gromwell essential oil, and as a fan of the unusual, I had to add this to the collection. This is a real one off and again the colour is so fantastic, so intense and edgy. For the perfumer this material is a useful for fantasy and culinary compositions and is a great natural colour agent.”

The primary hit to the olfactory system: Vinegary socks. Secondary hit: Fresh salad. Tertiary hit: Hungry for this delicious odour. And the colour…oh my!
