17th April at 2.15pm: Quick update to say all orders placed on the 9th have been collected just now by DHL. Orders placed on the 10th and 11th will all leave by the 19th. I will type again on Friday regarding orders placed from the 12th onwards. Other news, by Friday I am releasing a few more very big ticket rarities including our Italian Oakwood Absolute and a super grail rose otto. 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 “I wanted to name this tincture Dads Tincture, as after all it is the perfect building block for creating dad themed perfumes. However it was suggested that it might read as though I had gathered up a dozen dads, luring them into my abode with the promise of tea and biscuits, only to put them all in a cauldron and tincture them. A slightly disturbing notion! So I have opted to name this tincture, drum roll please……TOOLBOX TINCTURE.
The material used to produce toolbox tincture is mimosa catechu resin and what a beauty of a tincture this has resulted in. This is a revelation in the world of all natural perfumery. Think about it, how often do we encounter a natural aromatic that can be used in perfumery and of which reeks of metals in all its various forms? The answer is of course little to never.
This aroma smells reminiscent of smelling polished metals, rusting metals, dirty nails and screws, claw hammers, simply, the aromatic life of a toolbox. The mind goes further, the smell of mechanics oily overalls, grease, grime….just pure manliness!!! If you want to build manly, true to form, unique dad themed creations then at the very least this is the back bone of your creation.”
Botanical Name: Acacia catechu

I was immediately interested in the tool box tincture and it does indeed have an air of the greasy, oily and metallic about it, no doubt and would work in a tool box or oily rag accord. However, perhaps my expectations were of something with a little more diesel/fuel type astringency, and for all it’s grubbiness, this smells quite natural and almost green to me by the same token. Mimosa Catechu is undoubtedly a very interesting material with a unique character for a resin and on this basis I recommend anyone get this tincture.

This is a really interesting material. The smell is so complex that it’s quite difficult to describe adequately: to my nose, the predominant impressions are truffle and gingerbread (made with dark treacle). There’s a particular spice note which I can’t quite identify – possibly mace – and in the dark depths, there definitely seems to be a tiny hint of a green floral freshness. I keep coming back to this tincture and trying to penetrate its secrets – endlessly intriguing.

It reminded me of Perrins sauce… interesting to give a pickle note.
