26th April at 7.35pm: A quick update. Many parcels have left today. The situation is as follows, we still have one order left to process for the 10th (Paris retailer), one for the 11th and a lot more still for the 15th through to the 18th - mostly USA wholesale orders. The plan now is to work on orders across the weekend and by no later than Tuesday 30th - every order placed upto the 18th will be dispatched. Ideally they will all be out by Monday 29th but based on how I called it wrong recently I think it's better to call it for Tuesday. I'll update on order lead times for the 19th onwards on Monday 29th. It goes without saying that I am very sorry about the lead-time but like the lab and staff, it is now just a matter of a month or so before we are better organised, holding larger stocks of each aromatic, and in turn the lead-times will drastically improve going forward. Ok, back on Monday and thank you to everyone for the continued support. Thank you, Adam : )
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 aroma of organic myrrh CO2 is balsamic warm, cream sweet, oriental spicy and extremely tenacious. This material blends well with frankincense, sandalwood, opoponax and benzoin to name just a few. Myrrh also complements patchouli so beautifully and actually excels in adding warmth, depth and character to patchouli materials of young age.
Therapeutically, myrrh blended down at 50% in organic sweet almond is a very good way to treat mouth and gum infections. All you do is add a few drops of the 50:50 blend you have made to a glass of warm water and gargle for a minute and then spit it all out. Repeat after meals and upto 3 times per day. Massaging this 50:50 material onto the throat area will also help those suffering with a sore throat and/or voice loss.
This organic CO2 is a select extract, rich golden honey yellow in colour, very sticky but of a pourable viscosity and the major constituents are 23.7% curzerene, 37.7% isolindestrene and 17.3% lindestrene.”

I was confused when I first sniffed it neat from the bottle. All I thought I knew about Myrrh was from commercial perfumes with a ‘very prominent Myrrh note’ and it smells nothing like that. It is bitter-ish while still being sweet, hot without making your eyes water, uncomfortable yet cozy and, well, addictive despite/because of all that? I didn’t know what to do with it before diluting, then it made sense.
It must be brought at least up to 50% to be fully appreciated (although I like it neat, nowadays). At the 50-50 mark, it becomes sweeter, but still a bit too feral. Around the 30%-25% mark lies my sweet spot, when this material becomes majestic, mystical. This offering is a great introduction to Myrrh since I think other types (like the Ghugul and the Black Myrrh) are a tad more complex and, thus, even more difficult to comprehend.
My only gripe here, that eats up one star, is versatility. I love to tweak with scents and Myrrh seems to do what it does and that’s it. It certainly pairs well with other resins, and base notes such as Sandalwood, Patchouli, Vetiver etc, but I couldn’t blend it successfully, yet, with fruits without making a saccharine mess, or with herbs without making it smell like bad medicine or with flowers without feeling like I opened a gate to the land of the dead. The problem, though, lies within my abilities since I’m having a hard time figuring out how to use this sticky and dominant resin properly.

This is unique myrrh material, and demonstrates how much resins can vary. To me this has a very medicinal feel, herbal, ancient, quite reminiscent of herbal cough mixture, with a strange, arid, bitter-sweetness.
If you’re expecting the toffee sweetness of the Ethiopian soap myrrh (also available here) then think again.
It’s a powerful material and despite diluting it to a relatively low concentration it can easily dominate in incense accords, shrouding olibanum as it tends to do…I need to play around more. That’s just my lack of skill in blending though because in the right hands I’m sure this material is fantastic, I smelled a similar medicinal myrrh note in Les Indemodables Oriental Velours recently.

I love Myrrh but many of my aromatherapy clients not so much as they find too pungent.
This Myrrh CO2 offering is subtle and complex but without the overpowering-ness of the E.O. I’m really taken with it, it’s sweet, warming and dry, balsamic, reminds me of that delightful smell of old wooden furniture that has been baked in the sun. I find it really calming and comforting – in a sleep infront of a warm log fire on a rug kind of way, a deliciously delicate smokyness, it feels ancient, musky, but it also has a refreshing smell – it always upflifts me – it feels so healing to the soul.
Another benefit I have an E.O. from a different brand where the oil somehow seeps up through the lid making it tricky to open, this CO2 doesn’t do that.

A deeply-relaxing, mesmerizing, and meditative scent. It is highly evocative of museums, old libraries, maybe mummies? I agree with Sarah, this could be the scent of a wooden lodge with a burning fire and wooden masks or old tapestries hanging on the walls. I think this is an essential scent for perfumers to experiment with; works magic with florals – especially roses and jasmines, as well as adding depth to leather perfumes and “dryness” to patchouli and cedar bases. It does need to be diluted to work with because of its viscosity and power.

My favourite Myrrh!
This material really transports me. It was a shock the first time I smelled it. It takes me to somewhere ancient, pre-historic, quiet. It is a very atmospheric extract that makes me think of cold, wet stones, fungus, lichen, streams of water, caves…. Natural Sorcery! A calming, serene experience, maybe even melancholic, definitely meditative and just truly special. No other Myrrh I have smelled gives me the same sensations. Really interesting together with Yarrow CO2. They are both like gates to magical worlds…

Anytime I ever order from Hermitage, I can always rest assured about the quality, and for the Myrrh as well. Although I don’t consider Myrrh to be a perfume oil but a health oil- it was supposedly a favorite of Hippocrates, and it completely kills pain in case of burns, cuts, abrasions, as well keeps insects away. Myrrh is a true treasure even if not the most comforting aroma.
