Vanilla Absolute Organic - Biolandes

As someone who regularly makes tinctures and extracts from Haitian, Bourbon, Madagascar, and Mexican vanilla pods, I can say this Vanilla Absolute Organic from Biolandes is one of the closest materials I have smelled to the true essence of the vanilla pod itself.

This is not simple sweet vanillin. This smells alive, dark, rich, woody, leathery, slightly smoky, and completely true to its form.

Even at 1% dilution the material is powerful and unmistakable. Ethanol gradually breaks it down over time, and regular agitation is part of the process. Real materials behave like this.

What impressed me most is how faithfully it captures the real cured vanilla pod and vanilla puree character. I have had this on a scent strip for 3 days already and it is still beautiful.

This is the difference between smelling vanilla flavouring and smelling real vanilla.

Very competitive pricing for the quality being offered.

Excellent quality from The Fragrance Foundry once again.

I have nothing to say.

This raw material is amazing and complex, I diluted it at 10% and 1%, 10% it is a warm amber vanilla smell and at 1% you really smell the vanilla, I can't wait to add it to my perfumes.

An absolutely exquisite vanilla—rich, dark, and complex. I'm very happy with the material and, as always, received amazing service from Sam. Thank you very much

It is not often you come across a vanilla absolute as delightful as this. It has everything you would expect from a high end offering from Biolandes, and fits nicely into compositions of all types.
