10th May at 6.30pm: Today we have lost a little ground on the progress we have been making of late. The area we live in was without electricity from the early morning until late this afternoon. However by Tuesday all the May orders on our books will be dispatched. And I am now aiming at addressing the wholesale list from early next week - it will happen I promise. Good news on the SDS front, we received another batch of them including for plantation ouds and across next week they will be uploaded to the site. Please remember SDS are only available by logging into your account and going to the SDS section. Here you find everything on file connected to your purchases. Ok, we are taking the weekend off now for some family time, so we will be out of contact until Monday. Thanks to everyone as always for your support of our little business and if it's ever possible to leave reviews please do so as they help improve the website experience for everyone that visits. Thank you, Adam : )

Adam Michael has to say this “This Black Storax resin from Anatolia (Turkey) is utterly exquisite material that exudes sweet powdery vanilla notes throughout. This material effortlessly transports my mind to some far flung exotic country in the early hours of the morning, greeted with a warm air and a gentle breeze of this scent constantly washing over me. Extracted from the leaves and twigs, a must for using on an oil burner** and a must for tincturing as the vanilla notes are far more pronounced than you would ever find within the essential oil of storax (not styrax) as it is different starting material, a different chemistry and subsequently an entirely different aroma.”
Botanical Name: Liquidambar orientalis
Origin: Turkey
** At Hermitage Oils should you wish to burn the material neat we would recommend burning the material on an oil burner opposed to using charcoal disks. If you follow this recommendation we also advise placing a piece of foil in the well of your oil burner and then laying the resin on top. This prevents lots of mess and cleaning after use and by using an oil burner you get to enjoy much more of the aroma of the resin than when using charcoal disks.

I was unprepared to the strength of this material and when I opened the delivery box, I was instantly enchanted. The whole box smelled of it and from then on in a few hours the whole room was lit with this pleasant scent. Then decided to tincture it as soon as possible. For a first few seconds the tincture smells of smooth, but slightly peppery (to me undefined) smokiness, then transforms to propolis and honey and becomes vanilla like, sweet, warm and powdery, and so much more. There is so much complexity in it, I can sometimes smell even some flowers hiding almost invisibly in there. A great joy this brought me, so happy I bought it.

This is a beautiful material to work with; I use it to make scented paste to model into beads for jewellery. The scent lingers for such a long time, and the colour is perfect to make a deep, black paste. It is also very difficult to source, so I was delighted that Adam started to stock it!
