23rd April at 4.10pm: Unfortunately, regarding the message below and lead-times, I called it wrong. My apologies. As such all orders placed upto the 15th - and about half of those placed on the 16th, will leave by Friday 26th. On Thursday no collections are possible by couriers as it's a national holiday here in Italy. On the subject of SDS, the company handling this for us, has written to me today, acknowledged more are owed to us (submitted in December and January) and that they are now working on producing the final lot of SDS for us. This includes Plantation, Wild and Jungle ouds that many of you ask about. Next, I have spent the past year (literally) sampling ambrette seed e.o and absolutes from various producers and resellers to no avail. They all smell really poor compared to what I carried. They are too nutty, too fatty, too vegetative, too lacklustre, falling away very fast, and really dont showcase the musky textured qualities of a top ambrette properly. Even the big naturals brands are all obtaining and selling sucky poor man's ambrette at the moment. Written as I have decided to move over to carrying ambrette CO2 and this will be in place until I can find a wow absolute and E.O again. CO2 is still not on par with what I had, but it offers a far better profile on the musky front than the abs and e.os in the market place right now. This CO2 will be in stock by early May. Next, we will put all the non.eu destinations we can supply to, back on our website on May 6th - so U.A.E, UK, Switzerland, Saudi Arabia, Singapore and Australia. On the new product front, the next batch of 10 superstars will be released on the 20th May - lots more roses planned. And I will get started on expanding the bulk wholesale side of the business very soon - more aromatics and offered in larger weights as standard - likely upto a kilo on the website. Ok I will write again by Monday. Thank you, Adam : )
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 “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
Origin: India

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.
