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 “This vetiver bourbon essential oil is utter perfection and a must try for the vetiver connoisseur. The aroma is full of warmth, baked clay and reminds me of an open fire aroma in some far flung country on a warm late afternoon as the sun is starting to set. This aroma is also full of dark masculine oriental sweetness, mature woods full of zappy character, earth, bricks, saturated wet soil after a heavy tropical rain storm and finished with a warm nutty nuance.
The colour of vetiver bourbon essential oil is amber to golden brown, produced from the dried treated roots by steam distillation and of a slightly thicker viscosity than regular vetiver oils. A great material for chypres, oriental accords, high end vetiver themed creations and pairs very well with Cambodian ouds.”
We have now created our own vetiver collection page.
Botanical Name: Vetiveria zizanioides
Origin: Madagascar, distilled in Reunion

I absolutely love this. I am not a perfumer or aromatherapist so cannot wax lyrical about its aromatic progression or therapeutic wonders however I can say I love how dark, deep, woody, rooty and swampy this vetiver is. I have subsequently purchased several others from Adam but always come back to this when I want a rich, smooth, thick long lasting deep vetiver to dab on my hands so when I awake in the night I inhale it’s glorious scent.

I bought this after reading description written by lovely Adam and I must say I was not disappointed! If you like vetiver this material is a dream, showing full on earthy, rich, wet soil character combined with beautiful richness and warmth. Even though it is considered to be masculine fragrance, I used it in several perfume compositions for myself, mostly in very small quantity to improve overall impression (I just love vetiver), but also to create heady, vetiver rich accord which is (at the time of writing) still in ageing phase.
With that being said, I also use it for home made cosmetics, like hair pomade, etc. The scent itself makes me calm and balanced, reminding me of good things in life, so why limit myself only to perfumes? Pure bliss in a bottle…

This is my husband’s favorite vetiver. I think it is a more masculine version of vetiver than other vetivers. Reminds me of the scent of whiskey due to the undertone of oak barrels.

Beautiful vetiver! The harmonious combination of earthy, woody, smoky, mossy, balsamic, dry and warm notes takes you on a long journey to exotic countries, and at the same time creates a cozy atmosphere, similar to an evening spent near the fireplace with a mug of fragrant tea (or mulled wine). The fragrance is very complex, multi-layered, it takes time to study it properly and use it correctly in compositions. But it’s worth it. Just an indispensable thing for a first-class men’s perfume. And just to enjoy its aroma!

Typically vetiver
Earthy but fine and complex
In my opinion for Chypre composition
Mix fantastically with oak moss

I have a very large collection of vetiver oils (35+) from excellent companies, and this is by far the best. Smooth, deep, complex, and simply glorious! The ultimate vetiver oil.

Gorgeous and classy, abounty in masculine sweetness, posessing a perfect balance between all the components expected from the finest Veiver fregrance – from exotic greenery to wet earth to smoked woods to gourmand roasted nuts, to elusive rainy undertone, and enticing muskiness joining the drydown. A gold standard to measure up all other Vetivers.
