17th March Update at 9.45pm: All retail orders on our books placed between 6th to 13th March will be dispached by no later than the 19th March. All retail orders placed between 14th to 17th March will be dispatched by no later than the 22nd March. Thank you, Adam )
8th February Update at 1.40pm: The website has now been tweaked with the message below. Until early May we now supply to European Union countries only. By early May we will be better organised and able to handle a much larger workload per day. Once in place, USA, Hong Kong and United Arab Emirates will be switched back on. I have also updated the FAQ and mention this within that page. On the new product front, within the next 3 weeks, I am releasing Tuscan Green Olive Absolute Signature Gold, this project has been two years in the making, the end result is the most incredible olive absolute you will ever experience - it is light years superior to the Egyptian offering we and others carry. I am also going to release Italian Oakwood absolute, another custom production for Hermitage, plus I'll introduce Violet Leaf Concrete, and at least one of my 5 new Persian Rose Ottos for sale. If time allows I am going to release a wonderful Mitti Attar and two new Nagarmotha offerings as I want to put together a collection for Nagarmotha to showcase the vast differences in profile you can obtain. And finally I am definitely going to ramp up the wholesale list even further by introducing many more of our existing aromatics this month with wholesale options. Thank you and I will write again now here across early next week. Adam : )

Joseph Colbourne has this to say “The amber-coloured, steam-distilled essential oil of white oud or gaharu buaya (Aetoxylon sympetalum) is certainly an eyebrow-raiser, with its evocative, warm, umami, damp, smoky head notes. Its as if one were in the presence of a decomposing fallen tree trunk in the woods, with its microcosm of moss, lichen, parasol mushrooms, molds, must, burrowing insects. An notably salty, animalic undercurrent lends a seductive element as it mellows on the perfume strip.
A few hours into the dry down, white oud develops into a softer, peppery, guaiacwood-like rare woods aroma, while the slightest ember of smoke remains. This evocative material pairs nicely with white florals, jasmine, rose cedars, sandalwoods, and could be an evocative contribution to leather accords, campfire accords, ambers, incense, and tobacco blends.”

This is woody heaven, it is musty, oriental,elegant and exotic.

This hot, woody, astringent yet pleasantly musty smelling oil could be both a top and a bottom note to my nose, its refined and elegant enough, a bit like a more masculine rosewood with a boozy Tenassee honey whiskey note at the back and sides.

This clean, sophisticated wood is understated yet very arousing. It inspires me to create a fragrance that simply highlights it as the centrepiece. I can see the smell it’s so formidable.

Love this material. Has a nice long lasting scent which is really easy to point out, to me it has an orris kind of smell.
I’m running low, so I’ll need a top for sure.

Once you get past the initial heavy guaiacwood hit it then softens out to a more rosewood/linalool layer. Decent with tobbacco and tea blends

Heaven. A far away exotic place a few hundred years ago. Old leather, a soft and sweet ember smoke wafting over a decaying tree trunk, a cigar-infused leather chair, the comfort of sweet myrrh, a forest floor; the sweet musty decay of moss and ferns; vegetal, fungal, woody and a softly spicy earth mingling with musty vetiver …warm and moist, sultry and sensual.
Exotic, sensual, masculine, sophisticated, arousing!

Sexy and soft but also a little medicinally with a lot of ambrette seeds and soft white flowers up to a point to keep its muscularity..excellent oil
