22nd March at 10.05am: Hello World, Adam here with a quick progress report! First thank you of course to the many who have placed orders, most appreciated. As I type should you place an order, please note the lead time is 5 working days before we will be able to assemble your order. This Sunday by 3pm Italy time I am going to release my Onycha Shells co-distilled in 33 year AGED Mysore sandalwood for sale. 10ml price is 350 Euros due to age of the sandalwood used. Also, if you are shopping around for Jasmine Absolute, Violet Absolute or Rose Absolute Turkish, my current batches are exceptionally beautiful – zero gassy aspects in the top, incredible body, excellent development and just so blissfully perfect from start to finish. For those musing on larger weights I can offer my Turkish Rose Absolute (batch TRSGAA01) at 2450 Euros plus vat per kilo and can offer this for 2300 Euros per kilo on a 3 kilo buy – 6900 euros plus vat. I will write again on Sunday afternoon. Thanks, Adam : )

Adam Michael has this to say “Our vanilla absolute is produced by solvent extraction then purification through alcoholic washing. The aroma oozes dreamy vanillic goodness, sweet playful woody notes infused with ambery warmth. Useful for building honey-sweet florals, Oriental bases, improving gourmand notes especially cocoa rich ones and works wonders with heavy florals. Easier to handle with bain-marie and with patience and the aid of an automatic mixer this material will dilute in perfumers alcohol, by hand it is an almost impossible task.”
Arctander has this to say “Vanilla Absolute is a dark brown, clear and viscous liquid of very rich, sweet and true-to-nature odor. An odor-flavor description of this product would not be correct without the remark that the flavor is strongly dependent upon the type of vanilla used in the extraction.

A gorgeous material. Considering how vanilla price is going up this is a bargain. Some features of this smell candy:
– a slight hint of indolic at the top (in the background), but the main vanilla note quite prominent from the start.
– slightly woody and ambery (as in resnious) at the middle
– Then it becomes vanilla cake like and sweet. Stays like that more or less the same with an intensity that is gradually reduces – but at a very slow rate
– 10+ hours on skin

Intoxicating vanilla ! I do not know the amount of vanillin in this abs, but there is for sure a prominent woody aspect in it. This is Vanilla Planifolia, i.e. more woody and less floral than its cousin from Tahiti. Yet a true beauty !

So warm, sweet and elegant! I love its woodiness too and the timeless beauty of vanilla which makes it a must have colour on my palette.

I bought a small bottle of this along with several of the tinctures and I wish I just bought a larger size bottle of the Absolute.
I get plump, juicy vanilla beans that I find simply intoxicating. Im quite partial to gourmand materials and this is a must buy. Will definitely be back for a larger bottle in the future.

I love this absolute! And how can you not love vanilla? This fragrance radiates warmth, sweetness, gourmet shades. Most of all, I like its balsamic, leather, smoky notes, which can be seen among the vanilla-sweet and woody-spicy notes. An indispensable thing for a perfumer. Combinations with expensive floral absolutes and oils are great, but I also like its combination with strict woody-earthy oils such as vetiver, cyperus, patchouli.

Such a deep rich Vanilla, a very fine quality. A sweet tone in blending, beautiful enduring scent.

I love vanilla in any form. The Hermitage Vanilla Absolute is an example of the classic vanilla aroma, which combines sweet, woody, balsamic, spicy notes with earthy, leather and caramel nuances. A very rich, sophisticated, multifaceted aroma, worthy to decorate with itself the best examples of perfumery compositions.
Vanilla absolute goes well with many scents, especially luxurious floral absolutes and precious woods accords.
Highly recommended!

Fantastic stuff. Vanilla is a no-brainer. Soft, sweet, deep. Love it!
Anatoly V (verified owner) –
This vanilla is superb, creamy sweetness with a very slight balsamic undertone. It’s a complete perfume on its own, but it provides some magic presence in uniting perfumery blends, specially ones based on floral accords
Si Ying Chen (verified owner) –
Very rich, sweet, dense, characteristic vanilla aroma with a faint bitter undertone, chocolate-like nuances, and a very deep balsamic body note. It always makes me hungry 🙂

This is the vanilla you want to pour into the sponge cake. Don’t expect artificial vanilla sugar, because few are pure vanilla sugar, which we will talk about. Expect a gentle kindness as if it were pollinated by a hummingbird, expect exactly the dark color that the whole vanilla teat has. But most importantly – do not expect a headache. This will make you happy, cheerful and especially a person in a good mood. You will love her!

really high quality vanilla. i like it a lot with incense or clean patchouli. amazing stuff

I am smitten. I never smelled a vanilla absolute in my life but have had diluted oils for the face. Let me say: this is exactly what I was hoping for. Not the methylvanilline kind of sweetness but seriously deep, complex, kind of like wood and then mellows into a bit sweeter true vanilla scent like the vanilla beans scent, not most scents sold as “vanilla” or like vanilla ice cream. This one is just beautiful and probably easy to combine, though it shines on its own. What is an extra plus is that it’s to me very unisex. Love this material.
