Adam Michael has this to say “Our vanilla absolute is produced by solvent extraction then purification through alcoholic washing. The aroma oozes dreamy vanillic goodness, sweet playful woody notes infused with ambery warmth. Useful for building honey-sweet florals, Oriental bases, improving gourmand notes especially cocoa rich ones and works wonders with heavy florals. Easier to handle with bain-marie and with patience and the aid of an automatic mixer this material will dilute in perfumers alcohol, by hand it is an almost impossible task.”
Arctander has this to say “Vanilla Absolute is a dark brown, clear and viscous liquid of very rich, sweet and true-to-nature odor. An odor-flavor description of this product would not be correct without the remark that the flavor is strongly dependent upon the type of vanilla used in the extraction.

A gorgeous material. Considering how vanilla price is going up this is a bargain. Some features of this smell candy:
– a slight hint of indolic at the top (in the background), but the main vanilla note quite prominent from the start.
– slightly woody and ambery (as in resnious) at the middle
– Then it becomes vanilla cake like and sweet. Stays like that more or less the same with an intensity that is gradually reduces – but at a very slow rate
– 10+ hours on skin

Intoxicating vanilla ! I do not know the amount of vanillin in this abs, but there is for sure a prominent woody aspect in it. This is Vanilla Planifolia, i.e. more woody and less floral than its cousin from Tahiti. Yet a true beauty !

So warm, sweet and elegant! I love its woodiness too and the timeless beauty of vanilla which makes it a must have colour on my palette.

I bought a small bottle of this along with several of the tinctures and I wish I just bought a larger size bottle of the Absolute.
I get plump, juicy vanilla beans that I find simply intoxicating. Im quite partial to gourmand materials and this is a must buy. Will definitely be back for a larger bottle in the future.

I love this absolute! And how can you not love vanilla? This fragrance radiates warmth, sweetness, gourmet shades. Most of all, I like its balsamic, leather, smoky notes, which can be seen among the vanilla-sweet and woody-spicy notes. An indispensable thing for a perfumer. Combinations with expensive floral absolutes and oils are great, but I also like its combination with strict woody-earthy oils such as vetiver, cyperus, patchouli.

Such a deep rich Vanilla, a very fine quality. A sweet tone in blending, beautiful enduring scent.
