Vanilla Oleoresin

Vanilla Oleoresin
Vanilla planifolia | Bean Pods | Solvent/CO₂ Extracted | Origin: Madagascar

Vanilla Oleoresin, extracted from the pods of Vanilla planifolia, is a beautifully complex aromatic renowned for its warmth, depth, and emotional resonance. Its scent is rich and velvety, revealing layers of sweetness and spice that evoke both comfort and sophistication. In aromatherapy, Vanilla is celebrated for its ability to relax the mind, ease tension, and restore emotional balance. It encourages serenity and connection, making it an ideal oil for meditation, stress relief, or intimate settings.

Unlike Vanilla Absolute, which offers a pure and concentrated aroma, Vanilla Oleoresin captures a broader spectrum of the bean’s natural compounds, including resins and waxes, giving it a more rounded, nuanced fragrance. This makes it especially prized in perfumery and natural product formulation, where it serves as a warm, grounding base note that blends seamlessly with resins, woods, and florals. Its rich profile also lends itself to body care and home fragrance applications, infusing each creation with an inviting, luxurious sweetness.

Historically, Vanilla has enchanted civilisations for centuries. Native to Mesoamerica, it was first cultivated by the Totonac people of Mexico and later revered by the Aztecs, who infused it into ceremonial cacao drinks. After its introduction to Europe in the 16th century, Vanilla became synonymous with refinement and indulgence, capturing the hearts of perfumers, confectioners, and royalty alike. Today, Vanilla Oleoresin continues that legacy - a symbol of warmth, beauty, and enduring allure.
