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.

Eleonora Scalseggi has this to say “Although we do indeed already offer a Persian Rose Otto material, after sampling this particular batch from an artisan producer we felt we needed to offer it alongside the existing one because of its impeccable and perfectly balanced aroma profile.
When experiencing a rose otto for the first time it is common for the nose to need to learn that the aroma profile of the distilled material will generally slightly differ from when inhaling the suave scent of an actual fresh fragrant rose. If you are among those who instead dream that a rose otto should exhale pure rose beauty from the very first whiff, then this material is for you.
Unmistakably rosy, dewy-fresh diffusive and delightfully bright, this Rose Petals Persian Otto is also softly warm with a lovely delicate honey sweetness. Unsurpassed in perfumery for countless applications as well as in aromatherapy for its deeply soothing and calming properties, this material particularly displays all the hallmarks of a timeless classic.
Soft jelly waxy at room temperature, applying little gentle warmth this essential oil will quickly become pourable and ready to use. Due to the natural stearoptene content of rose essential oil, when diluted in alcohol the rose petal waxes will be unlikely to dissolve, therefore alcohol based perfumes will definitely require filtration prior to use. Rose Petals Persian Otto instead perfectly dissolves in fixed oils, making it arguably one of the most luxurious attar and oil based perfume materials available.”

This is an absolutely stunning rose otto.
I analyzed this material by diluting to 20% concentration by mass in neutral 190 proof spirits.
Immediately after dipping, the otto exudes notes of mouthwatering lychee on the tester strip. After a minute, a very true damask rose scent emerges, complete with all of the spicy nuances of the live flower. As Hermitage says, this material smells much more like the headspace of the rose than other ottos. The longevity is also superb.
This rose otto will spoil even the most picky connoisseur of rose materials. Bravo to the producers and to Hermitage for sourcing this exceptional material.

An ethereal feeling, the odor is so soft and delicate, like there is a linalool-type light woody ring around you. It’s like the fresh rosewood molecules, have just met their new oxygen molecules friends for the first time and they are having a happy conversation. The experience of smelling this item is really close to entering your nose inside the open petals of a Rose Damascena flower.
One of the most amazing, impeccable, natural materials available for rose compositions excels for its soft and light character. It describes perfectly the sense of a dream in a rose world.

One of the best oils if you want to walk with a happy face..wear it under your neck and experience what love is all about thought a flower so delicate ,spicy, and sweet..yet so rich and noble..a necessity for perfumes and any kind of usage ..some say rose is for ladies and jasmine for men’s..but truly who can really understand the nature and connection of those flowers can give to us..
Don’t miss this gift from Adam

Excellent rose Otto, indeed. This distilled oil is of course fresher thant the abs (the citronellol is much higher here) and therefore gives brilliant lift. Smell it and you will be transported in the medieval Ispahan.

The sweetness, depth and clarity of this otto is extraordinary and exquisite.
If the Turkish delight which the White Witch gave to Edmund in “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” smelt anything like this, one can understand why he was seduced.

One of my absolute favorite paintings is the Roses of Heliogabalus by Alma-Tadema
Aroma of this oil makes the painting come alive, I can see myself under the pile of rose petals, what an amazing experience

This Otto offers a refined damask rose experience. I really enjoy smelling this one from the bottle and find myself going back to it regularly. The rose here is very fresh – it sparkles. On my skin it quickly develops depth and some sweet “musky” nuances reveal themselves. The traditional rose note remains very prevalent – extremely satisfying and sweet and rich.
