2nd October at 9.05pm: All orders placed upto the 20th September will be dispatched by tomorrow. All orders received up until the 25th September will be dispatched by 6th October. I will provide dispatch times here, for orders placed from 26th October to 28th October on 6th October. Thanks, Adam : )
September at 5.30pm: First apologies for not writing here yesterday as intended. As I type all orders placed upto the 15th September, will be dispatched by tomorrow with couriers, and orders placed upto the 16th will all leave by Friday 29th. Orders placed on the 17th will leave by Monday 2nd October. And on Monday 2nd October I will provide dispatch times for orders placed on the 18th to the 20th September. So at the moment the lead-time is about 2 weeks from placing your order. Normally what happens is we reopen, many orders come in and then things slow down and we normalise. However in this instance I suspect it won't happen this way. As we close in October (see below) I am seeing regulars buying much more to cover themselves across the period we are closed. Add to this my wholesale work which is now coming in really fast - as I have started sending out the stock reduction list, and therefore I forecast a 2 week lead time all the way to closing. Meaning once we stop taking orders - It's probable I will still need 2 weeks to finish before I can close properly for the year. Therefore if you do want something, plan ahead please and only buy if you can wait as with the utmost respect, I am not letting anyone queue-jump, even if they go on to tell me they haven't seen these updates.
On the subject of the stock reduction list - due to lack of time, I have to create it in two parts. Part one covers aromatics A-K and part two will be sent out on email (to those on the list) on October 6th. Regarding the new releases, they will happen, this I promise but I can't get that job done for this Sunday now. I'll need until mid October to make that happen. If you are interested in the new releases all I can advise is to keep checking back here as I will confirm the release date before, well, releasing the new aromatics! On the subject of Ambergris, it's a really touchy topic for me at the moment and I am going to comment on this in more detail shortly, but note I am rethinking decisions concerning ambergris. Back here with a final update on Friday afternoon. Thanks, Adam : )
22nd September at 4.35pm: A quick progress update. By Monday 25th all orders received up to September 11th will be dispatched. By Friday 29th all orders received up to September 16th will be dispatched. Of course, be assured I will push to get as many orders as possible dispatched. For business clients waiting on a copy of the stock-reduction-list, this will be emailed across to you by Wednesday 27th. I will be taking tomorrow off completely for family time and will be back at work across the early part of Sunday afternoon. Next mini update here will be on Tuesday 26th. Thank you, Adam : )
19th September at 6.55pm: Right, update time. First, I am now working on the orders placed from 1st to 17th September and I think within 7-10 days maximum they will all be dispatched, along with the gifts : ) Next, I am going to release Kerala Indian Sandalwood 1953 E.O by Sunday 1st October, along with Organic Moldovan Pink Rose Musk Otto, 20% White Ambergris Aged tincture and Phenyl Ethyl Alcohol by Fermentation. If I can find the time I will also release another Assami grown Oud (plantation) and a vintage offering of Indian Vetiver E.O and Red Myrrh E.O (sublime profiles) that I have held back for the past year now. Regarding closing for 2023 in October (please read below) I need to kindly put on record that I won't be able to make exceptions for clients - even those who have become friends, and to please keep this in mind and plan ahead should you need something specific from Hermitage. I will write again by the end of the week and thank you very much to everyone for the continued support. Adam : )
18th September Update. Please read carefully.
Although a month away, I need to announce that the LAST ORDER TIMES FOR 2023 ARE AS FOLLOWS:
🦋Non.EU Countries 18th October at 9pm Italy time. 🦋
EU Countries 25th October at 9pm Italy time. 🦋
Then once all orders are dispatched and delivered, we will close and reopen by mid-January 2024/as soon as the laboratory is finished.
Also please note as of 30th September we will stop offering ambergris aromatics for sale.
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.
This Turkish rose absolute is 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.

The most fav smell of all type of roses!. More sweet than bulgarian roses, more rosy.

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.!
Fiona T (verified owner) –
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.

A classic all-around staple, that allows me to practice a motto; Aucun parfum ne va sans Rose!
It goes every where – as a centre for Rose Soliflore perfume, or as a foundation for rich floral bouquest, or bringing a smoothing finish for for spices and bitter herbs, or in bath tub, and even making my morning rose-infused tea; water vapor and tea bring the aroma to a full natural impression of rose garden. Delightful and accessible.

This scent is lovely though undiluted it lingers for about 15 minutes. I do love the scent and I will use it in perfumes with oud, as a top note. I was confused, I always thought absolutes linger longer because they are thicker, but apparently the rose oils have more longevity. As a top note it works well and considering the price it is a good buy. Great for cosmetics like rose water or a cream.
