23rd April at 4.10pm: Unfortunately, regarding the message below and lead-times, I called it wrong. My apologies. As such all orders placed upto the 15th - and about half of those placed on the 16th, will leave by Friday 26th. On Thursday no collections are possible by couriers as it's a national holiday here in Italy. On the subject of SDS, the company handling this for us, has written to me today, acknowledged more are owed to us (submitted in December and January) and that they are now working on producing the final lot of SDS for us. This includes Plantation, Wild and Jungle ouds that many of you ask about. Next, I have spent the past year (literally) sampling ambrette seed e.o and absolutes from various producers and resellers to no avail. They all smell really poor compared to what I carried. They are too nutty, too fatty, too vegetative, too lacklustre, falling away very fast, and really dont showcase the musky textured qualities of a top ambrette properly. Even the big naturals brands are all obtaining and selling sucky poor man's ambrette at the moment. Written as I have decided to move over to carrying ambrette CO2 and this will be in place until I can find a wow absolute and E.O again. CO2 is still not on par with what I had, but it offers a far better profile on the musky front than the abs and e.os in the market place right now. This CO2 will be in stock by early May. Next, we will put all the non.eu destinations we can supply to, back on our website on May 6th - so U.A.E, UK, Switzerland, Saudi Arabia, Singapore and Australia. On the new product front, the next batch of 10 superstars will be released on the 20th May - lots more roses planned. And I will get started on expanding the bulk wholesale side of the business very soon - more aromatics and offered in larger weights as standard - likely upto a kilo on the website. Ok I will write again by Monday. Thank you, Adam : )
19th April at 5pm: Quick update to first say I have now added the following big ticket aromatics to the website: Italian Oakwood Absolute, Organic Georgian Rose Raduga Otto and finally Persian P.E.A Intense Rose (Otto). Orders, as I type with exception to 3 orders, every order placed up until the 11th has left with the couriers. By Monday 22nd, all orders placed up until the 14th will leave with couriers and I will type again across Monday with another update. Bulk Wholesale orders that still need to be manually typed and billed will be done so by Tuesday 23rd. Thank you, Adam : )
15th April at 5.30pm: Today I am running behind but I am happy to say that along with all E.U countries, we now can supply to the USA again. USA switched on just now and the Mysore Sandalwood 4 year aged E.O offer is extended for a week for USA clients to enjoy too. By Wednesday 17th all orders from the 9th April will be dispatched with DHL. Although we are rather full-on with orders at the moment, the lead time will improve significantly very shortly. Reason being since reopening the focus has been solely on building stocks up and we have staff coming on as well now (at last!). I will write again on Wednesday regarding lead times. This week my tasks are to get on top of the SDS we are owed by the company we have employed to handle this. And other than this I am adamant I will update the bulk wholesale list with more aromatics. Finally for now - the following 11 aromatics have recently been added to the site - French Rose Geranium E.O, Sandalwood Mysore E.O 4 Year Aged, Tuscan Olive Leaf Absolute, Mitti Attar (Petrichor), Persian Queen of Roses (Otto), Tomato Leaf Absolute, Oud Assami Skank E.O V.1, South Indian 10 Year Aged Vetiver E.O, Bengali Nagarmotha E.O, VIolet Leaf Concrete, Italian Helichrysum Absolute S.G. Thank you, 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.

I have ten types of Ylang and this one from adam is the best of all of them.

Sweet without bitterness. Really excellent and luxury. Decisive drop into various composition. Love that.

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!
