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 : )

Eleonora Scalseggi has this to say “At long last we are happy to announce we now offer a gorgeous Saffron Oleoresin. As you will be already aware, saffron is obtained from the tiny thread-like stigmas of the beautiful lilac Crocus sativus flowers. It goes without saying it takes a lot of work to produce a single kilo of saffron, making it the most valuable spice on the world market, whose value by weight is even greater than gold itself!
The oleoresin extracted from the spice can be therefore considered the very definition of luxury.
Perfectly pourable and of a cheerful deep sunset orange, this saffron oleoresin displays and magnifies all the most beautiful and powerful notes of the spice. This is a material of great richness and intensity, exuding tremendous warmth, gorgeous leather notes, sapid saltiness despite its light sweetness when smelled straight from the bottle. It imparts a sensuous natural skin effect to perfume compositions like few other materials can.
Unmissable for oriental-inspired perfumes but also used in trace amounts to impart sensuality and a fleeting je ne sais quoi to perfume compositions, this fairly tenacious material can be classed as a base note since it will mainly stay close to the skin.
Perfectly alcohol soluble and partly oil soluble, it is the luxury version of our alcohol based saffron tincture.”
Botanical Name: Crocus sativus
Origin: Iran
Wholesale weights (all prices excluding vat): 250G = 2700 Euros.

What a lovely, pungent saffron this is. Deep, well rounded, spicy and powdery. So potent too. I have made many of my own saffron tinctures and absolutes, and this exceeds the strength of those by far.

I’m in love with oriental attars..one of the main ingredients is ufcourse saffron..well this is the real deal!top quality. Excellent warmth and vibrant .you can detect the stigmas of crocus before the became resin..wow. It project’s red oriental love..i can wear it alone and not blend with rose ,oud etc…so happy i have this in my collection.

Gorgeous material. It doesn’t blend how I expected or wanted it to and less certainly seems to be more in most blends I’ve tried. In cooking, Madame Saffron is often used in tiny amounts below the threshold of obvious perception and I’ve noticed here that a similar effect in perfumery is achieved when used this way, a whispering delightful undistinguishable elegance that you can only just about catch with the nose making the smell addictive with its hide and seek play. I’d love to use it in a more obvious way but it trumps everything so far aside from sandalwood, more experiments necessary!

Definitely very good. Not so easy to find this essential oil so happy that i found it here.

I am a fan of saffron. I always have Iranian and Moroccan saffron at home. I also have 4 different saffron oils, and this oleoresin is clearly the winner. Great stuff!
Spencer R (verified owner) –
Very rich and strong true saffron! It is also a stunning orange red, so use with a light hand – it is amazingly tenacious and can both overwhelm a blend and stain the skin a bit if you go overboard. That said, I so highly recommend this for spice, woods, leather and gourmand accords. It’s strength also makes it a great value for your money. There really is nothing else like saffron!
Justine O’ (verified owner) –
A completely authentic saffron; intense and deep, just like as its gorgeous yellow-orange hue, and fully-embodying the unique aroma of the crocus’ stigmas as we know them to be – dry, warm and musty, having an exotic medicinal pungence that is rounded by salty leather, hay, dry tobacco and musky honey hints. Ultimately, a sultry, sensual and exotic saffron with a world of potential to explore.

I was looking for something to add a bit of depth to a leather accord I was working on and this Saffron Oleoresin did exactly that. I also own an Essential Oil from another supplier and my own Tincture and this is by far the best of the 3 by a distance.

As a lifelong lover of all things Saffron, I was thrilled when Hermitage started carrying this. Forget the absolute you have acquired from wherever and look no further for any other manifestation of the red gold stuff that dreams are made of. This is the Holy Grail of Saffron. I am so grateful to have access to it.
