14th May - Quick update: Yesterday I started updating the product listings. So far the sandalwood and oud categories have been addressed - some new imagery, wholesale options on more of the sandalwoods and ouds, tweaks to content, and I have updated the age of these aromatics as well. Price increases on Cambodi oud and Thai Fruit Spice oud due to the age of these aromatics. Next, due to many requests, we are going to reintroduce sample sets by the weekend. We will offer rose, sandalwood and oud sample sets. Next, until May 31st we are trialling a lower shipping rate to the UK. On orders of 350 Euros or more, UK shipping drops from 38.99 to 12.99 Euros with UPS. Next, across June we will get a Facebook competition up and running. Also yesterday I added an Ambrette CO2 to the shop. This is really special product as first it was produced in 2022 - so before the ambrette crisis - and second profile wise the musk tonalities are exceptionally rounded, smooth, clean, powerful and longlisting with zero fatty aspects. Order lead-time now in hand at 3 working days too : ) Thanks, Adam : ) PS - Please can I ask clients to leave reviews if possible as it helps improve the website experience for others greatly. Thank you.

Made from natural + synthetic molecules
Adam Michael has this to say “This civet recreation consists of a blend of both natural and synthetic components. This material is free of civet absolute and contains no animal derived ingredients at all. An exceptionally powerful material that is best used below the level of conscious detection. When used in trace amounts this material imparts beautiful animalic warmth, is a great fixative, generally adds naturalness to a composition, and is a must for Oriental bases, jasmine accords, rose bouquets and pairs especially well with ambrette seed absolute.”
Unfortunately, this material cannot be shipped to Australia or America

Pretty amazing stuff this and a welcome addition to the palate considering the ethical dilemma that real civet presents. This doesn’t smell like real civet at all but I suspect that most perfume lovers who think they love an animal ‘civet’ note are actually more fond of something like this than the animal derived variety. This has a more spicy, peppery, impact almost that of cumin, with a complex dirty, leathery heart and sinks down heavily into the base of an accord or composition. For the purposes of experimentation the 10ml of Civet liquid I bought is likely all I will ever need, as it’s only to be used in low concentrations to make a workable material and then in turn is only used in traces in a formula.

Starts off smelling like your alcoholic uncle when leans in for the customary cheek-to-cheek greeting, but it rapidly reveals more spicy and resinous facets once you focus in on the scent. It smells dirty and indolic but combines well with ambers, cumin and coriander, a good choice for a skankier oriental.

I had absolutely no idea what to do with this so diluted it to 1% in PA and let it sit for a couple of months. Oh wow, it just gets more and more wonderful. The faint initial cat pee thing has matured already to a fabulous, slightly less floral indole to the wonderful natural version I also purchased here (which I adore). So refreshing to find a supplier that’s passionate about perfumery, very fairly priced and seems to go out of their way to delight us.
