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 : )

Mark Evans has this to say “The plant of star anise CO2 (Illicium verum) belongs to the Illiciaceae / Magnoliaceae family and its amazing star-shaped fruit have a characteristically aromatic, sweetly medicinal and pleasant fragrance that is similar to that of anise, but with more full-on liquorice and piercing spiciness. As with all liquorice smelling oils like liquorice itself, fennel, aniseed, aniseed myrtle and tarragon, this CO2 extract contains a high proportion of anethol and estragol which you should be aware of.
The aroma of this star anise extract is fresher, brighter and more true-to-life than the steam distilled essential oil and to produce it, the star anise fruit is first dried and then the aromatics obtained through the CO2 extraction process. These aromatics are actually located in the star shaped seed walls of the fruit, not in the seeds themselves that are nestled within. In perfumery, star anise CO2 is perfect in culinary creations and in small notes can add a warm sweetness to amber accords.”

It is hard to put in words how greatly I love Star Anise. To me, it smells of freedom, of growing up, of finding something special in the world and holding on to it no matter what. This is ‘electric blue’, like a lightning bolt from Heaven. I feel hopeful sniffing it.
This offering presents Star Anise in some kind of ideal form sculpted from my best memories and dreams alike. It is luscious, herbaceous, fizzling, suave, delirious. I’ve used it to cook and the result was one of my best dishes ever. I want to put into every blend I make and have to take deep breathes to focus and ponder properly.
It can be used with herbs, bitter or sweet, in order to create faerie-like scenarios in the mind’s theater. Blended with Patchouli and Vetivert, it instantly turns them into sacred ground. Woods irradiate beauty with a tiny drop of it. It can perfectly be the star of a creation, perform a key role or just add support to a grander project. A little goes a long way and you’ll rarely see the need for more than 2 drops, and diluting also opens many possibilities here. It’s a must buy if you’re into licorice.

I love star anise and having purchased EO (from elsewhere) in the past I have to say that this CO2 extract captures the character of it much, much better. Highly useful for me as a lover of spice and incense perfumes as well as modern minimalist, synthetic affairs, this material is equally at home in any of these.

Another magical one – Use sparingly as it is rather strong – Fab for creating Oriental dreams.

Wow! This is a trip. A juicy, powerful, boozy anise which makes the mouth water. It dominates a room directly, and easily overwhelms a formula if you are not careful. It has this clear and flamboyant quality where associations to liquer is apparent. Much more clear and spritzy than the essential oil. Definitely go for this if you consider an anise material.
