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 “My second wild vetiver offering from North India, and my first steam distilled material (27/11/19). This is pure aromatic theater, a real spectacle that sucks you in and demonstrates a beauty, that only naturals can.
The opening notes are muddy, peeled potato skins, old books and potent fresh at the same time. Somehow reminiscent to my nose of a clay scent and creating an image in my mind of walking in an open field, in the midst of a torrential rain storm, my clothing completely soaked and my face almost frozen from the powerful cold blustery wind.
Also somehow reminiscent to the DNA of a good bottle of aged mitti attar (before the days of IPM and DOP being involved) and it’s worth noting that this does pair splendidly with sandalwood oils, especially Indian produced Santalum album.
As the above indicates, this aroma profile is once again big on the petrichor front but throughout the life span, you do get plumes of intense spiced heat, along with mulch, notes resembling Texan cedarwood and vegetative nuances. This material offers very little in the way of grassy facets, yes grassy facets are present, but in my opinion they only really show themselves with any conviction within the dry down and when they do, to my nose, they are entwined with trace dark chocolate qualities.
If you respond well to the scent profile, this is another wild vetiver that can be useful for calming emotions and helping you unwind and relax.
In the world of perfumery, this vetiver pairs splendidly with patchouli, oarweed and sandalwood materials and compliments scents that have musky characteristics such as ambrette, and even angelica root to a lesser extent. Useful within a perfumers pallet whenever perfumes of a ozonic, watery, fresh air, log cabin, woody and even leather orientated theme are being considered.”

This is a very soft and gentle Khus, no scratchy notes or smokiness here. It brings up images of earth and clay. I also get the reference to Mitti Attar and I will combine it with Sandalwood, this will go well together. Lovely quality material.

Wild Royal Super Premium Vetiver lives up to all its epithets from the name. It is a true royal oil, with a luxurious and majestic scent, powerful and overbearing.
Its green notes are reminiscent of the wet foliage of tropical plants – with its sultry, wet, mossy and earthy nuances. The notes of earth, red clay, spices and dry wood, with a hint of musk and leather, restrained and not bulging, sound in the dry down.
There is a lot in common with the traditional Ruh Khus, and yet this is a special oil that will adorn any perfume creation. It blends beautifully with woody oils and lends a bold, grounding hue to floral fragrances.

The first time I heard of vetiver was a few years ago when I tried a men’s fragrance from a famous French company many of us know. I liked it and was intrigued. I later learned that other brands make fragrances based on vetiver. So when I got into making my own fragrances – naturally I bought some vetiver from another company. Now keep in mind I was an armature, but that vetiver I smelt really stank. I was puzzled as to why so many popular companies would would create fragrances around vetiver.
So I recently discovered this site when I was doing some deep searching. I found this super premium vetiver and thought I would give it another shot. And wow, I was simply amazed. It still had this deep grassy, salty, hay-like scent – but it was enjoyable. I could understand from the smelling strip why it had so many uses.
I guess my point here is quality and how much it makes a difference. This is a quality product and it will make all the difference for a serious perfumer. Definitely strong and has presence, but its been done right and has potential to make many beautiful fragrances. I’m curious to see what I can make. Thank you!

Absolutely gorgeous. This EO offers the spectrum of scents one would expect from a high quality KHUS in subtle fashion. It is not in your face. It is soothing and relaxing. A mediation in a warm, wet and lush forest.

Freshest type of Veitver with the nisest top, and exciting heart complexity, of moist Woodsy Greenery (not the other way around, like in other Vetivers), never overpowered by the supporting sweet-resinous-spicy earth.
