26th April at 7.35pm: A quick update. Many parcels have left today. The situation is as follows, we still have one order left to process for the 10th (Paris retailer), one for the 11th and a lot more still for the 15th through to the 18th - mostly USA wholesale orders. The plan now is to work on orders across the weekend and by no later than Tuesday 30th - every order placed upto the 18th will be dispatched. Ideally they will all be out by Monday 29th but based on how I called it wrong recently I think it's better to call it for Tuesday. I'll update on order lead times for the 19th onwards on Monday 29th. It goes without saying that I am very sorry about the lead-time but like the lab and staff, it is now just a matter of a month or so before we are better organised, holding larger stocks of each aromatic, and in turn the lead-times will drastically improve going forward. Ok, back on Monday and thank you to everyone for the continued support. Thank you, Adam : )
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 “Called ‘Mistress of the Night’ and believed to be so seductive and arousing that in Victorian times young girls were forbidden to inhale its heady fragrance as it would make them lose their innocence. Tuberose is an outstandingly beautiful flower with a very complex scent that becomes very potent at nightfall.
Its creamy lactonic, elegant white flower notes are entwined with greener and fresher character chiefly due to the presence of salicylates in its aroma profile. Very feminine and very contradictory in my personal opinion, so sumptuously rich and lascivious on the one hand and yet somewhat cold, medicinal and aloof on the other. Obtained from no less than 30 recharges of night time picked flowers, this extrait captures the waft of tuberoses on a dewy late summer’s night and is of a much softer and less overwhelming nature compared to the absolute.
Enhances powderiness facets within materials such as tonka bean absolute and iris. Surprises with minute additions of absynthe, pairs beautifully with orange blossom absolute, dances with vanillas, coconut and massoia, imparting tropical breeze qualities. And this material is essential for those trying to reconstruct the head space of tuberose.”
Botanical Name: Polianthes tuberosa

True to the real flower in ways that no absolute ever could be, this is an ethereal and delicate delight that makes your heart miss a beat after you take a whiff even straight out of the bottle. I smell white light, colorful stain glass, magical garden, kaleidoscope of notes.
CATHERINE A (verified owner) –
One of the most fine odr I have ever smell !
subtle, white flowers, spices, no heaviness

Tuberose heaven – you have to try it.

This tuberose is soft, light, round and delicate. For me, it brings to mind the petals of a tuberose flower.
Peter D (verified owner) –
The first thing which occurred to me when I smelt this was Savlon! It’s the ubiquitous white antiseptic and healing cream, which does have a specific and pleasant fragrance which is probably comforting from childhood memories of having it put on grazes and cuts.
Underneath the Savlon is a complex mixture of powderiness, sweetness and a strong suggestion of orris. I have a sample of tuberose absolute (from another supplier) and this extract, whilst fully recognisable as tuberose, is dryer, lighter and slightly more austere – gives a sense of Japanese temple incense.
Gabriella C (verified owner) –
This is one of the best things i have ever smelt, very beautiful, its incredibly delicate yet so intense like the real flower.
James (verified owner) –
Possesses surprisingly longevity and vigour from an enfleurage. A little added to the absolute version makes for an incredible combo.
KimRiccelli (verified owner) –
Gorgeous. To me it smells like a wonderful combination of the flower fresh on the stalk, and the more humid and indolic scent that develops after it has been in a vase for a couple days. I only wish it was available in larger than 1ml sizes, but I imagine that this is very labor-intensive to produce and am just grateful to have it in my collection.

This has become my reference material for Tuberose, because it precisely resembles the living flower (which we have in our garden, but which only blooms around December here in Cal). I cannot find any indolic or overtly powdery notes other than what nature provides. It’s a true aristocrat vs. the often rather vulgar absolutes coming out of India (with indole and lactones galore). The only problem is the dilution: you will need quite a lot for a tuberose soliflore, which quickly becomes prohibitive cost-wise. I use it for shading in fresh-floral themes and to add “class” .
