26th April at 7.35pm: A quick update. Many parcels have left today. The situation is as follows, we still have one order left to process for the 10th (Paris retailer), one for the 11th and a lot more still for the 15th through to the 18th - mostly USA wholesale orders. The plan now is to work on orders across the weekend and by no later than Tuesday 30th - every order placed upto the 18th will be dispatched. Ideally they will all be out by Monday 29th but based on how I called it wrong recently I think it's better to call it for Tuesday. I'll update on order lead times for the 19th onwards on Monday 29th. It goes without saying that I am very sorry about the lead-time but like the lab and staff, it is now just a matter of a month or so before we are better organised, holding larger stocks of each aromatic, and in turn the lead-times will drastically improve going forward. Ok, back on Monday and thank you to everyone for the continued support. Thank you, Adam : )
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 “The aroma of violet leaf absolute is heady, leafy-green, earthy, with woody and candy violet sweet nuances. Very unique and exceptionally tenacious material. Violet leaf is a middle note and blends beautifully with floral and herbaceous absolutes such as cassie, mimosa, osmanthus, blue lotus, narcissus, green and black teas, magnolias, tuberose and clary sage. Adds volume and diffusiveness to heart notes and provides an interesting twist to rose accords.
Violet leaf absolute is dark green in colour and a somewhat thick material that benefits from gentle warmth prior to use. The Viola genus consists of some 500 annual and perennial species and are probably best known as Pansies in most gardens. A lovely species to grow is Viola cornuta alba, the flowers are star shaped, delicate and look outstanding in a rockery.”
Botanical Name: Viola odorata
Origin: Egypt

Excellent quality violet leaf ..from the first sniff you get a blast of fresh green velvet notes that almost is refreshing to your brains .it reminds me of matcha tea almost and is such a unique material that you just can’t stop smelling till you create in your mind the total blend with it..either go dark green bouquet or softened it with lighter more delicate flower absolutes

This material is absolutely gorgeous, rich in deep green, almost candy like and grass notes, it is complex and needs to be diluted in order to get the best of it.

Adam’s description is bang on for this wonderful Violet Leaf Absolute and I can’t wait to actually use it – if I can drag my nose away from the bottle for long enough.

To inhale this is to sink into a dense and waxy, inky-earthy violet realm – smooth, damp, comforting and vegetal … a woodland floor in a Celtic rainforest. This place is always cool and mossy green, bedded down in layers of leafmould and centuries of thick moss, a constant presence of powdery-woody-green-earthy violets: such is a natural violet; this enthralling Violet Leaf Absolute.
There’s no hint of the sickly ‘parma violet sweets’ scent we grew up, nor the strident hit of violet water worn by great aunts – this is a pure unadulterated violet leaf of ancient woodlands, whose dry down brings a milky violet floral undertone and a whisper of something resembling sacred nagarmotha.
Unique, mysterious, dark and quietly brooding; perfect for the woodland alchemist.

Who knows the Violet essence of the leaves, knows that it will never smell like a Violet flower. Because he can’t. Because they smell so special and exceptional that you will not expect the softness of flowers such as violet soaps. This is a green monster in a good way. Irreplaceable in the collection of essential oils. If you don’t have it yet, you can regret it. Violet leaf is needed in the collection as sandalwood, incense, rose, neroli, oud..If you order a Violet Leaf from someone and it will smell strongly floral like a violet flower, return it immediately. You bought stupidity. Don’t miss Adam’s violet leaf!

All I can do while writing this very belated review (as it is currently out of stock), is to dive into delight, smearing a generous drop on my fingers from the bottle I have from pre-pandemic times (it ages gloriously), and feel lucky with this most wonderful, virtuoso orchestrated symphony of exquisite Greenery, dedicated to hail goddesses of Youth and Mischief.
Opening on my nose – straight from the bottle with a cherubic eye watering freshness of wild strawberries (Fragolina di Bosco, oooooh!),
then quickly diffuses into most spell-binding, ambrosial green mash-up – a crushed pile on the floor of a florist shop – on the eve of Summer Solstice night celebrations, evoking cut-off leaves and buds of roses, peonies, freesias and lilacs; then they’re joined by a supporting humming duo of Honey and Roman Cassie Mimosa, occasioanlly intermingled with Orange blossom (or is it Frangipani?), and overripe Apricot jam wiffs – out of nowhere! All over it – there is ethereal faint overtone of fresh clove bud, playing picaboo with famous and unique cucumber playful note;
– and then happy juicy fruity greenery all over again in pleasant scales and radiant arpeggios,
The green picaboo carousel of frolicking Putti is finally jointed in the drydown (on my skin) by a gossamer cloud of powdery Orris-root ghost – but DNA-umistakable (I bet, traceable in HRGC test), unique and truly rapturous aroma of fresh violets – If you are lucky to know how they smell in reality. Delicious verdant nectar, essential for creating refined Tops and floral Hearts, when the most beautiful and dreamy vibe of Summer Night gardens is required.
If you want a fully immersive hedonist experience with Violet leaf absolute – daze yourself into its cloud with generous amount of a few drops from head to toes, and then put Mozart Piano Concerto No. 17 – in full blast 🙂
In aroma-psychological aspect of Violet leaf effects on our feelings and emotions, it appears to be (unsurisingly) powerful uplifting post-traumatic antidepressant (for instance, paired with Bergamot, Clary Sage or Neroli).
