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 smell of Virginian tobacco absolute is very mature, very dry, reminds me of smelling old rope, the middle contains fleeting notes of dark chocolate cake with wet, juicy, luscious rich red heavenly cherries. The dry out is baked earth, old rope, a little woody, a little nutty and ever so slightly powdery sweet. Masterpiece material, really loving this. I can smell this Virginian tobacco absolute on the smelling strip for six whole days. Produced by solvent extracting dried tobacco leaves (Virginia variety), viscous liquid and the colour is dark greenish brown to black-brown.”

Amazing. It’s like a “barnyard” wine meets the finest cigar. There’s a sharp fruity aspect (Adam says cherries- I can see that), like a prune or a dried fig. Definitely a “dry” tobacco, as stated in the product description. I wish I could get a big bottle!

A beautiful, very rich and somewhat sweet tobacco smell that reminds me of cigars and rum. One of my personal favorites! This version from Virginia is not as dry as the Oriental Tobacco (also offered by Hermitage), which is also a great tobacco smell but very different.

This Tobacco Absolute has a shorter tenacity & a drier feel compared with the burley offering also offered by Hermitage, being paradoxically slightly more pungent yet very very smooth. Here is The Fast Train through town packed with intrigue & power. Its ample flute-like smoke integrates well throughout its profile. The full spread of its subtler notes fade in half an hour yet its echo persists for days.

Another masculine beauty ,although not as sweet as the Burley hermitage offers but you can also detect the cherry fruity jam..but also vanilla bean…excellent oil too!!

So suarve and deep, this blends seemlessly with so many materials so long as you don’t overdo it. It has a mature yet sophisticated scent, like a caring old wise grandfather observing everything in the background, unseen yet not unnoticed. That being said this isn’t at all old fashioned smelling, there’s a timelessness about it.

A very masculine long lasting odor but very fine

A rich and generous tobacco scent. It starts off as a moist, fruity-woody tobaccoleaf scent. Soon a chocolate note develops, with a hint of vanilla sweetness and dry leaves. After a couple of hours, the chocolate note remains, while it turns into classic pipe weed tobacco. It is a rich scent with many nuances. Later on, it turns drier and the sweetness disappears. A nice and long scent. I can recommend it for gentlemens scents, very appreciated as colognes and beard oils.

Can’t stop smelling the bottle! Dark, sexy, I want to use this in everything – leather accords, tea, fruit, woodland and musks. Incredible.

This fantastic tobacco absolute distinguishes itself by its gourmand notes. At first, I detect semi-dried plums and dried figs, with somewhat of a powdery sweetness making me imagine them covered in chocolate. This is balanced against grassy, green notes such as from sweet clover, liatris, and green tea. It has just the right amount of green leafiness that is typical of tobacco, without smelling too hay-like. After about two hours, these blend together into dried leaves, yet retaining a deep juicy semi-dried-plums flavour that makes you salivate. An absolute dream of tobacco! It proceeds to fade off very gradually, lasting basically forever on the strip – days minimum. The only notable evolution being that after about nine hours it smells a bit drier, less juicy, but still clearly retaining the dried-fruit notes. These then become more and more dominant until they absorb any notion of leafy tobacco and you are basically left with pure dried fruits, now more on the dried-fig side. The material is also a joy to look at and work with, with silk-smooth, very viscuous but still perfectly pourable dark drops. Overall, this is my favourite tobacco essence and very useful in creating a large variety of men’s perfumes.
