20th January: 20th January @ 9pm: First, we are unfortunately falling a little behind with work. Tomorrow we have a meeting that we can no longer postpone. Therefore, we must postpone all courier collections tomorrow. I absolutely promise though that we will be working through the weekend again and by Tuesday 25th we will have got on top of “retail” orders. As for big news, first Oakmoss Signature is now back in stock. This is a winter production, artisan produced, really labour intensive with low yields. The aroma profile is first class all the way, plus it is also not IFRA compliant. The only issues to report here is that batch two is aesthetically muddy-ugly and although it dilutes in alcohol, this batch benefits from filtration. All mentioned on the updated product listing. Next, although maybe a few months away, I can now confirm a project that is coming to fruition, we will be introducing Olive Absolute again, Italian made and exclusively distributed by Hermitage Oils. This is light years superior to anything coming out of Egypt. Next, my custom produced Hindi Oud (name still to be decided) will be released on Sunday 30th January along with a new big-ticket release that will be sold under the name of Vetiver Chocolate E.O. Subject to time I am also going to release another new oud on Sunday 30th named Oud Thai Sugar Orange (Maybe more musing is needed for the name!) I will write again on Monday and thanks sincerely to everyone for all the support. Adam Michael : )
17th January @ 8.35pm: Just to say all “retail” orders placed up to the 1st January have now been collected. This week we will clear all “retail” orders placed up until the 10th January. Of course, we will push to achieve better results but note we are working flat out. Beyond this, if you would like to see the return of MYSORE SANDALWOOD E.O, please do email to let me know as I am musing on bringing this back. Towards the end of this month I am also going to try to release my first WILD HINDI OUD e.o on the site, this is a custom distillation exclusive to Hermitage, it is extremely clean woody, floral, fruity and sweet in parts. It is pure perfection and will retail for just 1435 Euros per 10ml. This is a steal price. Sample vials will also be offered. I will write again by Thursday this week. Thank you, Adam Michael : ) 14th January @ 6.30pm update: Since I last wrote we continue to make progress. All “retail” orders placed up to the 29th of December have now been dispatched. “Retail” orders placed between the 30th December to the 1st January should all be dispatched now on Monday 17th January. And we continue to process little/quick orders we see regardless of date for one hour each day. Once we are on top of the workload, I will be working on product content for 12 new, big-ticket releases, and they will be added to the site throughout February. Across February the sites primary categories are also getting altered, because as we continue to transition into becoming a wholesale business, I want to draw attention to our Hermitage Oil custom distillations. A total of 84 SDS have now been uploaded to the site and as we get on top of our workload we will keep adding more : ) Also, emails, please note simply due to a lack of manpower, we are chiefly concentrating on responding to emails that are connected with orders still processing. Once back on track we will reply to all emails received of course : ) I think this covers everything for now and I will aim to write here again on Monday. Thank you, Adam Michael : ) Close
21/11/21: IMPORTANT NOTE FOR THOSE WHO HAVE PURCHASED: Adam here. I listed this approximately 12 hours ago. (I realise though I actually opened the site at just before 3am, so its been available to buy for 7 and a half hours as I type) Since doing so we have nearly sold out. To all those who purchased 25G at 50 Euros, I made a mistake. I should have listed this at 50G for 50 Euros. Now corrected. So rest assured if you have purchased a 25G bag, you will actually be receiving a 50G bag. This is why I need to stop working late. Thankfully this will be good news for everyone who has purchased.
VERY LIMITED QUANTITIES
Adam Michael has this to say “In the world of Omani frankincense resin, the No1 grade on Earth is Sultan grade. This resin is deemed so spectacular both visually and aromatically that it is kept out of circulation and enjoyed by the sultans of Oman of whom are part of the historically rich Al Busaid Dynasty. As Oman rules the roost by light years when it comes to frankincense, the Sultan grade genuinely can not be topped, it is the ultimate Hojari resin trophy piece.
Each year however some of this resin (seeming not to exceed 40 – 50 kilos per year) is released into the general market via license. The scarcity and demand for this graded resin is so high that the market price is more than double that of Royal Hojari resin (which is already big money for resin).
Each tear is chiefly of an ice blue-green colour profile, some tears are more green than blue, but all are of a wonderful, marbled clarity and a step up when compared with Royal Hojari tears. The aroma is strong and soul comforting, exuding menthol – think eucalyptus (Eleonora is not in agreeance), lots of citrus, chiefly lemon zest through to a tad orangey, juicy warm resinous character galore with distinct pine tonalities reminiscent of freshly distilled Aleppo pine. This is sensational resin, and it is easy to understand why it is so desired and sought after. My rating, 10 out of 10 all day long.”
Botanical Name: Boswellia sacra
Origin: Oman
** 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.
