22nd September at 4.35pm: A quick progress update. By Monday 25th all orders received up to September 11th will be dispatched. By Friday 29th all orders received up to September 16th will be dispatched. Of course, be assured I will push to get as many orders as possible dispatched. For business clients waiting on a copy of the stock-reduction-list, this will be emailed across to you by Wednesday 27th. I will be taking tomorrow off completely for family time and will be back at work across the early part of Sunday afternoon. Next mini update here will be on Tuesday 26th. Thank you, Adam : )
19th September at 6.55pm: Right, update time. First, I am now working on the orders placed from 1st to 17th September and I think within 7-10 days maximum they will all be dispatched, along with the gifts : ) Next, I am going to release Kerala Indian Sandalwood 1953 E.O by Sunday 1st October, along with Organic Moldovan Pink Rose Musk Otto, 20% White Ambergris Aged tincture and Phenyl Ethyl Alcohol by Fermentation. If I can find the time I will also release another Assami grown Oud (plantation) and a vintage offering of Indian Vetiver E.O and Red Myrrh E.O (sublime profiles) that I have held back for the past year now. Regarding closing for 2023 in October (please read below) I need to kindly put on record that I won't be able to make exceptions for clients - even those who have become friends, and to please keep this in mind and plan ahead should you need something specific from Hermitage. I will write again by the end of the week and thank you very much to everyone for the continued support. 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.”
Botanical Name: Betula alba

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
