August 15th: Today in Italy is Ferragosto, an important public holiday. As such couriers are not working. This means we will be sending parcels from Tuesday. We are absolutely stuffed with orders to assemble, as such lead-times are as follows, E.U 7 to 10 days. Non-EU 14 to 17 days. ADDITIONS: Before placing your order, please check very carefully. As having to re-edit existing orders greatly adds to our processing times and is making the queue of orders move slower and slower for everybody. I thank you for understanding. Adam : )
August 11th: Quick note to say I have now added the Wild Cedarwood Absolute to the website. This is the final new release for 2022 prior to closing across September for 5 months. I need to state for those paying via bank transfer, politely your order is not secured until we have received payment in full. If you are considering buying Mysore Sandalwood, please keep in mind we now have very low stocks left and its likely this will sell out by the end of this week. Ambrette Absolute is now also running low and so are most of our frankincense aromatics along with Prachin Oud. As for lead times, non E.U orders are now taking up to 14 days to assemble and dispatch. Orders sent within the E.U are taking roughly a week before they are assembled and dispatched. 2022 season Organic Lemon FCF E.O is now reduced in price as we have a lot to clear prior to closing. For those within the E.U who may be interested in 5 and 10 kilo pack weights, please get in touch on email. I will write again by Sunday. Thank you, Adam
July 27th: Adam Michael here with an update. Ok, my partner Eleonora is pregnant with our first child. Written because across September Eleonora goes on maternity leave for 5 months and I intend to join her and use the opportunity to have a rest before the baby is born. The exact date will be confirmed nearer the time but for now just to say if you need anything from Hermitage Oils to please plan ahead because when we close it really will be for 5 months and during that time we will be completely out of contact. Thank you, Adam : )
Adam Michael has this to say “The top note of this Turkish rose absolute exudes a joyous diffusive rose-honey note with immensely deep rose character in the heart and beautiful rose warmth within the base notes. This absolute is grown in Isparta, also known as the Rose District and located in the south west part of Anatolia.
Rose red in colour, of a pourable viscosity and essential for building rose bases, improving rosy florals, carnation bases, developing oriental bases, fougere, chypre etc. Also provides interesting effects within spice notes and blends especially well with most jasmine materials.”

This Turkish Rose absolute disappeared in my blends too quickly! Turkish Damask rose is the closest by scent to that unforgettable scent of summer rose garden, which is so difficult to repeat in perfume. Green and fresh, rosy and spicy, dewy and subtly sweet. Have you ever tried to nibble damask rose petal standing there in the rose garden? This is exactly it. The scent of Turkush rose absolute is all over you – in you nose, and mouth, and in your head, and in your soul.
Watching Golden red drop slowly swelling out and forming into shape before falling into the vial is mesmerising. Not too slow, not too quick, just perfect).

Love it. It goes quite nicely with ouds and rose ottos, tuberose and gardenia absolutes, oth of which quite stunning too.
It has the sweetness – a typical feature with all rose absolutes I have tried from various regions (referring to Rosa damascena only). The spicy and green top note is not common thing in rose absolutes. So it goes really nicely simply with rose ottos, especially if you want to enjoy a more complete rose in an intense form for a longer time. In other words, imho, if you want to make an all natural rose attar/perfume that is dark and more sophisticated, this is worth trying.
It can be quite dark too – especially if you add some birch tar, along with your typical rose otto and Indian oud combination. The possibilities are endless.

Rose in all its natural fulsomeness, heady and dense, …a pure, pure, rose, … a walk through an English rose garden in late June, red roses fill the air with their velvety warmth, and as their dew evaporates, a dense green spicy pepperiness develops all around.
Soon this rose gives even more of itself: sweet lychees and honeyed mangoes; a rose-infused exotic fruit salad, inhaled through a powdery cinnamon-rose veil.
This exquisite Turkish Rose Absolute has such depth, longevity and possibilities. I wear it on its own, but it’s also very special in edgier creations, alongside dark resins, patchouli and oakmoss.

Body for days…..
Definitely a fullbody rose with all the right notes in all the right places.
It goes through so many stages and lasts all day ending with classic sweet deep narcotic rose.
Lush and addictive:)

I couldn’t imagine that this absolute would be so different from any other rose absolute i bought from hermitage store..honeyed ,warm,sunny fresh fruit beauty..almost like rose otto oil..excellent

The image that this rose absolute evokes to me is a green garden were i have just placed a vase of roses and carnation flowers next to a jar filled with spices, making a composition for a painting.
Its bitter sweet notes are in a wonderful harmony with a perfect rose scent, a very special rose – unique, complex and gorgeously multilayered.
You can smell it again and again and never get tired – so much it is amazingly different from other rose absolutes.
Not too sweet, not too spicy, very very Rosy and really persistent.
Can detect a slight cinnamon note as well as carnation in a background.
I would call it a “Perfect rose in a perfect world”.
Rich, sensual, hypnotic – a Number one.

Adam, you can’t take this gold out of the offer! Listen to me if you don’t want to upset me! To describe it in words is a crime. Because there are no words to describe this rose beauty and energy. Everyone – order, do not expect a review from another, you need to try.!

Quite simply the best rose absolute.
It’s so pure but heady and totally addictive.
Just this alone makes the most beautiful perfume.
Once you have had this you won’t be able to have another.
Thank you hermitage.
The highest quality oils I have used since becoming an aromatherapist over 25 years ago.
To read your descriptions is like reading poetry too.
Please never change.
