20th January: 20th January @ 9pm: First, we are unfortunately falling a little behind with work. Tomorrow we have a meeting that we can no longer postpone. Therefore, we must postpone all courier collections tomorrow. I absolutely promise though that we will be working through the weekend again and by Tuesday 25th we will have got on top of “retail” orders. As for big news, first Oakmoss Signature is now back in stock. This is a winter production, artisan produced, really labour intensive with low yields. The aroma profile is first class all the way, plus it is also not IFRA compliant. The only issues to report here is that batch two is aesthetically muddy-ugly and although it dilutes in alcohol, this batch benefits from filtration. All mentioned on the updated product listing. Next, although maybe a few months away, I can now confirm a project that is coming to fruition, we will be introducing Olive Absolute again, Italian made and exclusively distributed by Hermitage Oils. This is light years superior to anything coming out of Egypt. Next, my custom produced Hindi Oud (name still to be decided) will be released on Sunday 30th January along with a new big-ticket release that will be sold under the name of Vetiver Chocolate E.O. Subject to time I am also going to release another new oud on Sunday 30th named Oud Thai Sugar Orange (Maybe more musing is needed for the name!) I will write again on Monday and thanks sincerely to everyone for all the support. Adam Michael : )
17th January @ 8.35pm: Just to say all “retail” orders placed up to the 1st January have now been collected. This week we will clear all “retail” orders placed up until the 10th January. Of course, we will push to achieve better results but note we are working flat out. Beyond this, if you would like to see the return of MYSORE SANDALWOOD E.O, please do email to let me know as I am musing on bringing this back. Towards the end of this month I am also going to try to release my first WILD HINDI OUD e.o on the site, this is a custom distillation exclusive to Hermitage, it is extremely clean woody, floral, fruity and sweet in parts. It is pure perfection and will retail for just 1435 Euros per 10ml. This is a steal price. Sample vials will also be offered. I will write again by Thursday this week. Thank you, Adam Michael : ) 14th January @ 6.30pm update: Since I last wrote we continue to make progress. All “retail” orders placed up to the 29th of December have now been dispatched. “Retail” orders placed between the 30th December to the 1st January should all be dispatched now on Monday 17th January. And we continue to process little/quick orders we see regardless of date for one hour each day. Once we are on top of the workload, I will be working on product content for 12 new, big-ticket releases, and they will be added to the site throughout February. Across February the sites primary categories are also getting altered, because as we continue to transition into becoming a wholesale business, I want to draw attention to our Hermitage Oil custom distillations. A total of 84 SDS have now been uploaded to the site and as we get on top of our workload we will keep adding more : ) Also, emails, please note simply due to a lack of manpower, we are chiefly concentrating on responding to emails that are connected with orders still processing. Once back on track we will reply to all emails received of course : ) I think this covers everything for now and I will aim to write here again on Monday. Thank you, Adam Michael : ) Close
Adam Michael has this to say “The fragrance of white rose co2 is heavenly, I think it is the summer breeze of roses, consisting of delicate, fresh, playful rose notes. The middle has free flowing honey rose qualities with a citrus tang that is sharp, sparkling, possessing extreme impetuous charm. This creates an environment for me to find inner calm, no floral material at all enables me to collect my thoughts and feel as peaceful within as white rose.
The colour is light-medium yellow and is of a smooth wax like consistency that will require warmth before it is completely pourable. The major constituents are phenylethyl alcohol (36%), citronellol (4%), geraniol (4%).”

As Adam said – truly heavenly material! Sweet, floral, honey, bees…a meadow full of splendor. Amazing, soothing, blissful. It is a prayer. Must have!

Everything they say is true, it’s simply just heavenly. I ordered this a couple of years ago and it’s long gone but I have not forgotten its pure virginal beauty. Outstanding quality.

When I need a rose that doesn’t have that vibrating, metallic, aldehydic (don’t know how to decribe exactly) opening typical of some rose EO and absolutes, I choose this one.

My absolute favourite rose and one that as Adam says, is made to recall summer breezes. It is such a pleasure to work with a rose that is less heavy and ‘usual’ than Damascena. It pares well with top notes of citrus, especially the full-on Italian lemon Hermitage offers, and I find Nerol a good extender of this particular rose too as it too is a lighter rose hue. I would rose overdose on rosa alba if it weren’t for restrictions. It seems pure and delicate, lemony and airy.

For me personally scent is something more than just nice odor. I used to choose it with my intuition. This time it is also great choice! Adam & Eleonara have wonderful gift and talent to find something special and unique. I see a scent in a different way. I can’t tell you about odor profile too much, but I can tell you where this White Rose is able to guide you.
I am a medicine woman who speaks with plants. I use essential oils from Hermitageoils to make Healing Perfume. The white rose reminds of innocence and spiritual love. Because its energy is in tune with the planet Venus, it strongly activates the female element. Restores natural beauty and humility. It extends the feeling of loyalty and friendship to yourself. Only what we can present to ourselves, we will be able to present to others.
White Rose CO2 ORGANIC brings life into spheres where this life was lacking before. Activates self-healing codes in man. Promotes peace and harmony.
The white rose supports when someone is in a state where they know they can achieve more, but they are not sure what exactly to do. Therefore, it is recommended for people who struggle with the problem of confusion and getting lost in the matter of choosing their own spiritual path and how to implement it. White Rose activates creativity in the process of manifesting artistic talents.

Probably my favourite rose. Every rose has its own qualities, of course… they all have a rosy sweetness that makes us fall in love with them. Rosa alba does not offer that same sweetness, and powderiness. In fact, this rose reminds me of wild roses, of a warm breeze after a summer rain, and a natural freshness that is inspiring rather than comforting or luxurious. This is a contemplative scent that does not blend as well as Rose Otto or Rose Bourbon with other oils because it of its sublime simplicity. It is a perfume in itself: moving, enthralling, but hard to “improve”.

This White Rose CO2 has the natural fullness and delicacy of smelling a rose. It reminds me of the scent wafting through a rose garden and the delicate soft scent of fresh rose petals.

Adam and Eleonora are the Queen&King of Roses, are they not? And it is so hard to choose a favorite from within their magnificent realm. What a relief that we don’t have to choose but can enjoy them all depending on mood, time of year, or mode of application. I have many beloveds in Adam’s Rose Garden but the White Rose CO2 stands supreme, in white shining light carrying me even through the darkest of days.

in my eyes there is nothing more beautiful and pure. the essential oil of rose purifies the hearts it is an exclusive liberator of serotonin, when we breathe its perfume we condemn ourselves to peace, calm and recklessness.
