22nd March at 10.05am: Hello World, Adam here with a quick progress report! First thank you of course to the many who have placed orders, most appreciated. As I type should you place an order, please note the lead time is 5 working days before we will be able to assemble your order. This Sunday by 3pm Italy time I am going to release my Onycha Shells co-distilled in 33 year AGED Mysore sandalwood for sale. 10ml price is 350 Euros due to age of the sandalwood used. Also, if you are shopping around for Jasmine Absolute, Violet Absolute or Rose Absolute Turkish, my current batches are exceptionally beautiful – zero gassy aspects in the top, incredible body, excellent development and just so blissfully perfect from start to finish. For those musing on larger weights I can offer my Turkish Rose Absolute (batch TRSGAA01) at 2450 Euros plus vat per kilo and can offer this for 2300 Euros per kilo on a 3 kilo buy – 6900 euros plus vat. I will write again on Sunday afternoon. Thanks, Adam : )

Adam Michael has this to say “White birch oil is produced by a process referred to as ‘destructive distillation’. This process essentially involves gathering and crushing all plant parts which are then steam distilled over a number of hours which results in a material that looks similar to tar. This tar material is then rectified by vacuum distillation, removing the by-products deemed hazardous. All the hazardous waste has to be professionally discarded of course, a very costly process and that feeds into the price of this material.
The aroma of white birch is smoky, charred wood with strong tar and leather nuances throughout. In perfumery this is useful material for building smoky accords, forest notes, leather bases, pairs well with m-cresol, cade, oakmoss and labdanum.”

White Birch is very potent and has an almost intrusive character. It is made of dark charred woods, traces of animal fat and vague bitter vegetal nuances, offering a dominant material that should be highly diluted to be fully experienced. If not properly used, you risk running around smelling like frying bacon.
This is not the kind of thing one buys for delight, but for achieving desired effects. White Birch can turn a blend exactly in that cozy college campfire remembrance when mixed with woods and maybe some discreet fruit, or tell a fantastic story about Arabian caravans when blended with spices and amber. One wrong drop, though… the tale won’t be half as funny.
All in all, Hermitage’s offering is the best I came to know, yet. Not too green, when White Birch’s menthol is too prominent, and not too burnt, when it smells like, well, coal. This one gets a perfect balance.

Omg!! What a wonderful fantasy “camp fire” scenario out in the deep forest you can create with this white birch which is on the contrary a black sweet/bitter gold that needs moderate use ufcourse not to overpower the perfume..one drop on the back of my neck it transport me into a different dimension
