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 : )

Adam Michael has this to say “The top notes of this ylang ylang extra are watery exotic and heady floral, finishing with delicate fruit nuances. The heart and base notes are again warm heady floral with a voluptuous creamy lactonic character and gentle pink pepper spice notes.
The production process of ylang ylang is quite complex and fascinating, so much so I have written an article which you can read here.”
Arctander has this to say “Ylang-Ylang Extra is used mainly in high-class perfumes of the floral and heavy-Oriental type, but mere traces of the oil can do wonders in medium-priced floral bases. There is hardly any floral type, where ylang-ylang “extra” would not fit in. The oil blends excellently with bois de rose, vetiver, amyl salicylate, opopanax, bergamot, hydroxycitronellal, mimosa, cassie, methylionones, cinnamic alcohol and esters, benzoates, para cresyl esters (ethers), nerolidol, Peru balsam oil, vertenex HC, etc. and with gardenia bases, stephanotis bases, tuberose bases, etc.”
Botanical Name: Cananga odorata var. genuina
Origin: Comoros

Once you try this Ylang Ylang extra you will never want to have any other one from another supplier. I tried a lot of them…
Diluted in alcohol it is full bodied joy of highly scented fresh flowers of ylang ylang. Penetrating blend of complex sweet, a bit creamy and exoticaly spicy pale yellow nectar. Surely it works magic in compositions, but on the first “meeting” with it you just wish to smell it again and again and to dive into the depth of this magically scented aroma.
Well, diluted in jojoba it opens differently, restricted by jojoba’s cocoon, which slows down the scent’s volatility. Same ylang ylang but in different dimension.

Like the other reviewers, I also own different Ylang oils, extra, complete, CO2, absolute, from various suppliers. This is throwing my favorite extra from it’s throne. Very balanced oil, floral creaminess, Ylang lovers will be pleased. And it comes at a great price for this quality too.

What an ylang ylang! Elegant and luxurious. Nothing to do with other ylangs that I tried before. It lasts for a very long time in a strip, keeping its magnificent scent all the way.

Opollock14 said it right, since I tried Hermitage Ylang Ylang extra I would never risk other supplier or other Ylang Ylang from Hermitage :-). This scent is a floral equilibrium, but you can use it in every combination too.

I have many Ylangs in my collection, this is on par with Superior extra that I have acquired many years ago. Deliciously sweet, but not overbearingly so, it has a refinement of a fine ballerina

This oil is creamy, rich, multi-layered and sweet in all the right ways. It so wonderful I find myself drawn to it like never to ylang-ylang oil before. I’m not quite sure what else to say others than I really recommend this one!
