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 “This vetiver absolute is utterly sensational material, produced from North Indian wild growing vetivert that in Hindi is known as khus khus or khas. More specifically this vetiver is from Uttar Pradesh and produced by solvent extracting the concrete. The colour is golden amber and of a very thick treacle consistency that would benefit from gentle warmth prior to use.”
Joseph Colbourne has this to say “A thick, viscous, solvent-extracted absolute of tan color from India, this vetiver absolute shows depth and earthiness transcending that of a typical vetiver essential oil. What is noteworthy is the sweet top note found in the EO is muted and in its place lies a cade-like smokiness and choya leatheriness. There is also a bit of citrus coolness that comforts the nose. As it develops on the tester strip, these characteristics mingle with bitter chocolate, decomposing wood, mossy mustiness, and amber darkness. As with most vetiver materials, the absolute is diffusive and has marked longevity, lasting days on the perfume strip. I would recommend the absolute in accords where the vetiver note takes center stage, in dry woods, burning leaves, amber bases, or non-traditional fougeres.”
We have now created our own vetiver collection page.

Dark, rich, powerful with sweet earthy, smokey traces & a hint of a leather note which lasts for days.

Different to the bourbon/java EOs. This one has excellent smokey undertones. Basically a perfume on its own.

i recently used this in a gourmand Vetiver centric attar, this material along with the Vetiver S.P c02 are absolute stunners!

This is another unique vetiver from the Hermitage.
I left this absolute for my meditation practices, as well as other oils that I prefer to just sniff from the bottle, in pure form.
The scent is very soft, and as for the leathery and smoky nuances that are mentioned in the description and in the reviews, they are barely perceptible to me. I rather feel here dry woody, creamy-balsamic notes with hints of raw cane sugar and roasted nuts.

Translated with google. I have several vetiver oils, but I couldn’t pass up this Hermitage absolute, and Wow !, if you love vetiver you can’t stop having this gem: compared to the precious vetiver oils, this absolute is pure vetiver but something completely new: with smoky and sweet notes of honey, without the harshness of véti oils, with a silky smoothness absent from vetiver oils. This is what the land of Paradise must smell like.
Si Ying Chen (verified owner) –
It has an aroma that is deep, heavy, slightly sweet and resinous, with pronounced woody, earthy, root-like notes and light smoky undertones. More than just a simple grass, it’s almost a perfume !
