Update 12th May at 9.55pm: First, our order book. The majority of orders placed between the 5th to 7th May have been collected by the couriers, more will be collected tomorrow, and the rest will be collected by the couriers on May 16th. Many easy/quick to assemble orders placed after the 7th have also been collected by the couriers. We are working through the weekend, and I will update again here on Monday concerning lead-times. I am very sorry about the delays and also for the time it is taking me to reply to emails at the moment.
Next, good news on the horizon. By mid-late June I will release a 30 year aged labdanum, Persian cypress e.o, Persian neroli e.o, two Nagaland ouds, one jungle- plantation, the other wild, plus cedarmoss absolute, oakmoss absolute – one of my original sources, melonal n.i, guaiacol n.i, my own commissioned saffron oleo resin red gold, olive absolute (possibly two offerings), another flawless Persian rose otto, sandalwood India Royal - a 1930’s vintage Mysore, plus another intro-level oud from Thailand, a two year aged green sacra tincture, a flawless Indonesian sandalwood CO2 that I have been wearing on my forearms every day this week (heavenly and affordable), plus protium copal resin, elemi resin, a full spectrum green coloured royal hojari resin and I am musing on releasing a trial experiment of stock flower extrait by enfleurage – musing because it’s so fleeting. And finally, for the month of May I have released oud wild Assam e.o, oud Thai fruity-spice e.o (intro level oud), Italian 4-fold lemon super concentrate e.o, oud Chanthaburi honey e.o, orris Tuscan absolute 50% (8% Irones) , oud wild tabak e.o (our first quarter of a million euros per kilo aromatic) plus our 20-month aged grey ambergris 3% tincture and our stunning Indian sandalwood sweetie CO2. Thank you to everyone for the support of our business and as always, if its possible, please do leave product reviews on the website. Thanks, Adam : )

Adam Michael has this to say “This thyme borneol essential oil aromatically exudes layers upon layers of richly charged savoury warmth, so herbaceous, camphoraceus and sweet medicinal aspects, traces of barbecued meats, clove bud, the type of aroma that conjures up images of a cold Autumn day, sat at the kitchen table, log fire roaring, and all whilst tucking into a well herb-seasoned meat and vegetable casserole dish with a side of dumplings and plain rice….pure bliss.
Major constituents of thyme borneol essential oil include borneol at over 35%, alpha-terpineol, beta-caryophyllene, camphene, carvacrol, linalool, thymol. This oil is produced by steam distillation of the flowering plants and is warm yellow/amber in colour.
When inhaled from the bottle this oil can be useful to regulate breathing, reduce heavy coughing and stop wheezing – as an asthmatic I can vouch that this material really helps in calming early flare ups. Diluted heavily to no more than 1% in carrier oil, this oil can be considered useful for treating fatigue. Within perfumery, useful within lavender-colognes, citrus-colognes, and generally wherever rich savoury herb qualities are required. Lasts about 30 hours on the strip.
Gardening tip:
If you grow thyme in your garden and find slugs under the foliage then you are likely growing one of the nonphenolic thyme species which makes sense as they omit a much more human friendly smell and would therefore likely end up as a plant in one’s garden. If you want to grow slug resistant thyme (as resistant as it can be), then you have the best chance by growing the carvacrol type – slugs hate it as do all flying insects, (but it’s not effective in seedling stage, you are looking at about 4-5 months if growing from seed before the plant omits the carvacrol to the extent it’s a slug deterrent).

Aromagolic (verified owner) –
This is my first acquaintance with this chemotype. Much softer than many other varieties of thyme essential oils, the smell resembles the aroma of fresh grass. Works great in mixtures against flu and colds, as well as in herbal bouquets for perfumes.
