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 “Deep green in colour, seaweed absolute exudes an aroma that will delight, dazzle and stimulate. The smell is exactly like fresh seaweed that has found its way onto the shore in the early morning, possessing that unique and refreshing ocean smell, very clean and invigorating with stunning aquatic green notes throughout. This material is of a paste to solid consistency and unless you are intending to dilute this in perfumers alcohol it is not wise to buy this material, instead a better option would be the seaweed colourless absolute we offer which is pourable.
Invaluable for the creation of marine accords, building ozonic and pine bases, and offers interesting modifying and boosting effects within moss creations and green top accords. Blends very well with mosses, pines, galbanum, vetiverts and incense wood.”

Imagine its summer, walking on the beach and close your eyes and let your senses by sniffing this gift from the bottle and enjoy the experience..such a powerhouse..well I’m so happy i find this oil and can’t wait to see were it will lead me with my creativity..

A tough one to dilute! If you don’t have a hot plate this paste absolute will make you work. Quick tip: Even if you use hot bath, in mere seconds this goes back to being sticky. I mean, even if it’s bathed and fluid in its own bottle, by the time you pick/drop to dilution bottle, it will become sticky again in 1-2 seconds due to sudden heat loss.
Pure form smell: Pungent, phenolic, seaweed, ash-leather nuances, salty and mossy.
10% dilution smell: Less pungent, fresh aspects more noticeable, less ash-leather, iodine bomb, with ammonia nuances. Very realistic seaweedy shore breeze, you have to like that dirtiness a bit.
I think in trace amounts this would add that throat scratching iodine feeling. Can’t wait! Great product Hermitage & Adam!

Masterpiece material! – I never imagined I woud use that term for a smell that I don’t particularly like. I think it is wise to dilute this heavily before evaluating as it is strong stuff. I had mine at 2% and it still was super strong and very diffusive. Ok, lets face it, the first 15 minuted are not pleasant (Smokey-harsh-leather-fishy-pungent-compact), but when you get beyond that, an aroma of leathery kombu appears. Much like the beautiful Oarweed Abs, which is only sold in sample size here. It is so realistic and fascinating. After that, the experience gets more and more bedazzeling. An ocean scene opens up in your minds eye with hard waves washing up seaweed baking in the sun. As the material evaporates the notes become fresher, cooler, more aquatic and ozonic and start to contain everything in this scenery: The water, many kinds of seaweeds, the fresh breeze, the sea mist, shells, fish, sand, salt…In the drydown I get gentle oyster mineralic notes and the freshest sea foam. SUPER complex, diffusive, roomfilling, long lived and in that sense, very economical. Much better that the “colorless abs” also offered here, in my opinion. You just have to be prepared to dilute the whole thing at once, at 20% for instance, you will never use it in a higher consentration anyways. its very sticky and dark and not pourable at all. But it’s all worth it. This is a long review but I just have to state, as a person who mainly works with aquatic notes and seaweeds ONLY for clients I do bespoke perfumery for, as I don’t enjoy these aromas usually for myself, this one took me on a journey an may have triggered something in me, made me eager to explore and enjoy marine aromas more!

A complex aquatic green profile with bundles of iodine, moss, leather, and animalic notes. Exceptionally powerful and diffusive, reminiscent of seaweed washed ashore and an essential component to a few of my aquatic perfumes. I use it both neat and at a 10% dilution, even when diluted it’s still a powerhouse material, however it reveals different facets in dilution. A must have for any perfumer’s organ.

Without repeating everyone, including Adam, on how indispensable, original, truly unique in the Aromatic Pallette Seaweed absolute is,
I point out that beside supplying the whole Marine vibe in all its living pungency, iodine saltiness, with touches of molluscal raunchiness and sea-water spray freshness, filtering into itself the Life of the Ocean,
It can play Other roles – when highly diluted to the threshold and below concentration – while losing its instantly recognizible kelp nature,
– it comes out as chest-opening Maritme breathe, or in slightly higher dosage – mossy wet Florest Floor compositions,
– or in minimal traces – the edge of Novelty & Mystery, putting a fresh spin on too common aromatic combinations:
In this aspect, I am trying its edge in Florals, Citrus or heavier earthy acoords 🙂
