The Passing of Founder Tony Bolton.

Sadly we lost a true legend in the Oud and artisanal aromatics world. On October 10th, Tony Bolton passed away at home with his wife Tha by his side after complications from a recent stroke.

One of the kindest and funniest people I have ever known, Tony introduced me to the art of essential oil distillation, and was a great friend and mentor. My heart goes out to his family in Vietnam and in the UK, and especially to his wife Tha.

You will be dearly missed Sir Tony.


It is a very good time to buy products that ship from Vietnam HQ as these funds go directly to Tony's wife Tha and will help with accumulated medical expenses and funeral costs.

Tony’s wife Tha has been the real engine behind the Vietnam side of Aroma Sublime for some time now since Tony’s first stroke in 2020. She has taken care of Tony while also continuing to distill some absolutely magnificent Ouds and of course their coveted Plumeria (frangipani) oil. Tha has quietly taken up the reins and become a master distiller in her own right working alongside Tony for so many years.
