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 : )

Joseph Colbourne has this to say “A Hermitage all natural creation, amber in colour and of pourable viscosity. Smoke Liquid enchants the nose with wafts of liturgical incense smoke, evoking colourful stained glass windows, stone walls, wooden pews, solemn prayer, divinity, and metaphysical beauty. How wondrous to find the sensation that one derives from smoke plumes in liquid form.
The lemon-pine-terpenic facets of olibanum resin, resinous, pungent myrrh, sacred copal, embers and ashes emanate from the top through its smoldering dry down. This blend demonstrates sensational longevity, remaining on the mouillette for up to five days. Meditative, devotional, and symbolic of sanctification, “Smoke Liquid” naturally would make a spectacular addition to incense compositions, sacred blends, even campfire and burning leaves accords.”
Wholesale weights (all prices excluding vat): 100G = 140 Euros.

Excellent introduction from the first sniff!lemons +pine resin dripping and around you a wooden smokiness but yet so sweet.. !! Actually you cannot understand if you want this oil to use it alone or blend it with more incensy oils to give it a stronger boost or just use it alone as a smokey feather around you…i can’t believe what a blessing is to have all that experience in one bottle..don’t missed it for your collection !

I don’t think I can review this as well as how Joseph describes it. I am so grateful for this it truly takes my respect and awe for Hermitage Oils to a whole another level. I literally feel like I am in good hands when relying on Adam and his creations (hopefully more like this)

I very much enjoy this aroma. It is a complex take on a smoke accord and I love the liturgical lean with a really nice frankincense. The frankincense is apparent in the opening but after a few minutes, it melds and becomes one with a lovely smoke. It does remain detectable but the smoke comes forward more. The smoke brings to mind a highly diluted birch tar. I can definitely detect an an ash note and the dry down is very warm, diffusive and pleasantly smoky. The frankincense remains to give body but it is very well balanced. At times, I catch a whiff of smoldering frankincense on charcoal. A very well done accord. This would be ideal in creations meant to capture the atmosphere of a church after Catholic Mass, where the smoke from the thurible still lingers, paired with woods and bolder resins. It would also be excellent put to use in campfire or smoky forest blends. Feels primarily useful for autumnal or winter perfume creations, though a light hand in a bonfire accord for an aquatic (beach bonfire) could be lovely for a unique summer scent. Well worth sampling due to the complexity – not flat or run-of-the-mill. For those who may have had trouble working with cade, birch tar or fossilized amber resin in a smoke accord, this could add the depth you’ve been looking for. This would go very well with guaiacwood, in my opinion, as well.

The previous comment described a detail that I agree too: an old church at the end of the mass, still with the haze and the scent of incense used a little earlier in the liturgy, with the acrid scent of the charcoal now ash that burned the frankincense in the censer; but I would also add the smell of the old wooden benches of the sacristies, ancient and blackened by time, that perfume that I love: a mix of woody, smoky, leathery, balsamic, but also a slight aldehydic, terpenic and fresh hint. I find it a multifaceted material, I think it can also go well in mixtures of agarwood, cypriol and a nice aged java vetiver. Irreplaceable to give the note of smoke to the frankincense blends, so much sought after by frankincense lovers and found when burning (or heating up) the wonderful resins of olibanum and family. A material that I highly recommend.

An ancient stone church at the end of mass, everyone has left but the atmosphere is still warm and heavily-saturated in sacred frankincense; a frankincense whose scent is both pure and smoke-infused; both intensely resinous; having a citrusy fresh and terpenic ring, (an elevating and clarifying scent of pine resin and lemon over bitter green leaves), – and smoky.
Heavier liturgical smoky scents hang in the air, moving forward and swathing us in a divine cloud: the thick lick of extinguished candles; heady and solemn, merges with the scent and smoke of frankincense. The smouldering charcoal of the thurible and deep wafts of tarry dark wood embers appear, along with soothing fatty beeswax and metallic ash.
Very soon the smokiness increases in pungency; liquorice, soot and leather, all the while the frankincense remaining as a beautiful backdrop, and what started out as warm mysteriously turns to winter’s day; a snow-covered forest, the pure scent of pine and lemon meeting the smoke of a fading embers through an icy air.
At the end, the dry down takes us back inside the church. The scent is now stone cold; church flagstones beneath a veil of powdery violet and leather smoke, traces of frankincense still lingering over the redolent scent of church pews; ancient oak infused with centuries of candles, olibanum, wood resin and candle wax.
Liturgical, solemn, smouldering, mysterious, beautiful. This is an inspired accord that is layered, balanced and infinitely evocative.

There’s a Frankincense-centric formula that I’ve been working and reworking for several years, using a blend of the best Frankincense materials that I’ve come across over the years (many of them sourced here at Hermitage). Smoke Liquid was EXACTLY the missing piece, perfectly complementing and elevating the blend by giving it depth and maturity. It is pleasantly ashy and smokey without ever being overpowering, which is almost aways the case with phenolic scents.
