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 “Getting hold of stinging nettle materials is not an easy feat. We used to carry a stinging nettle absolute but despite its interesting aroma we had to discontinue the material because of its repeated alcohol solubility issues. Luckily we have now got hold of this co-distilled essential oil (with copaiba oil) that causes no alcohol or oil solubility issue at all.
Aromatically the essential oil is even closer to actual stinging nettle than the absolute material. If you know the plant and more so if you have ever tasted it in any cooked preparation you will find close similarity when smelling this oil and not surprisingly so as the steam distillation partially cooks the leaves, enabling them to release their characteristic aroma.
Apart from that of “cooked” nettle leaves, the aroma can also be described as gourmand, peppery and a bit earthy-sappy, with fresh-green but deep notes and with light warm woody aspects that become particularly evident when applied on the skin. Although the copaiba oil in itself does not contribute much to the aroma profile it does however help improving the tenacity. Not a high impact material, this essential oil remains pleasantly close to the skin and with its gentle scent can add an interesting note to gourmand, chocolate and foody accords, but also rooty and forest floor compositions.
Not a perfumery staple but an interesting material for curious noses and of course stinging nettle junkies, it can be also used diluted in a carrier oil or other cosmetic products as a tonic for calming and balancing skin and scalp.”
Botanical name: Urtica dioica x Copaifera officinalis

This is a lovely little gem. It is fairly weak in scent, so it may be hard to place it inside a blend. But in itself it is a beautiful material, very close to a fresh, damp nettle with green, herbal and woody aspects. It is vaguely related to tomato leaves, but far more gentle and more foresty. Worth a try, and i fsomeone can create a blend that makes it pop, it may be quite popuplar.

Wonderful. In three words, I would describe this as green, comforting, and nourishing.

I never thought I’d be able to use a natural nettle extract for my perfumes until I found this! I Love stinging nettle, It’s a plant I work alot with in my art practice (textile fibre) and although this EO has a cooked nettle leaf character, it still has a lot of the piercing, but pleasant green notes of fresh nettles too.
