Update 12th May at 9.55pm: First, our order book. The majority of orders placed between the 5th to 7th May have been collected by the couriers, more will be collected tomorrow, and the rest will be collected by the couriers on May 16th. Many easy/quick to assemble orders placed after the 7th have also been collected by the couriers. We are working through the weekend, and I will update again here on Monday concerning lead-times. I am very sorry about the delays and also for the time it is taking me to reply to emails at the moment. Next, good news on the horizon. By mid-late June I will release a 30 year aged labdanum, Persian cypress e.o, Persian neroli e.o, two Nagaland ouds, one jungle- plantation, the other wild, plus cedarmoss absolute, oakmoss absolute – one of my original sources, melonal n.i, guaiacol n.i, my own commissioned saffron oleo resin red gold, olive absolute (possibly two offerings), another flawless Persian rose otto, sandalwood India Royal - a 1930’s vintage Mysore, plus another intro-level oud from Thailand, a two year aged green sacra tincture, a flawless Indonesian sandalwood CO2 that I have been wearing on my forearms every day this week (heavenly and affordable), plus protium copal resin, elemi resin, a full spectrum green coloured royal hojari resin and I am musing on releasing a trial experiment of stock flower extrait by enfleurage – musing because it’s so fleeting. And finally, for the month of May I have released oud wild Assam e.o, oud Thai fruity-spice e.o (intro level oud), Italian 4-fold lemon super concentrate e.o, oud Chanthaburi honey e.o, orris Tuscan absolute 50% (8% Irones) , oud wild tabak e.o (our first quarter of a million euros per kilo aromatic) plus our 20-month aged grey ambergris 3% tincture and our stunning Indian sandalwood sweetie CO2. Thank you to everyone for the support of our business and as always, if its possible, please do leave product reviews on the website. Thanks, Adam : ) Close

Mark Evans has this to say “Vetiver Haiti essential oil and Reunion material (Bourbon) are renowned as the finest quality vetivers available. Haitian vetiver particularly has a cleaner, greener olfactory profile and could even be considered as having some citrus and floral touches.
The quality of this Haitian vetiver becomes more apparent on the blotter when smelling it diluted and after the top notes have dissipated somewhat. Smelling at full strength, though, there is an obvious difference to, say, Indonesian or Indian vetivers. Rather than the dry earth, clay, mushroomy notes of the former, the Haitian oil is brighter, fresher, smoother and smells initially of burnt wood with sweet earthiness. The delightfully swampy, green and grassy aromatic stage comes apparent sooner and the whole experience is more pleasant.
In perfumery, the Haitian vetiver is more sought after due to the all-around more pleasing aroma profile and also because the sought after green vetiver character becomes apparent more toward the perfume’s top notes. You also don’t have to worry so much about compensating for or covering up the pungent mushroomy top notes present in other vetivers.”
We have now created our own vetiver collection page.

This is a beautiful example of vetiver, it has those bitter, galbanum-like woody nuances made famous in perfumes like Encre Noire and Sycomore, pairs well with patchouli but also fruits like peach and apricots.

My favourite vetiver essential oil.

This is an excellent vetiver, not too smokey or harsh and for the price, this is the best staple vetiver to have on one’s organ in my opinion!
