Vanilla Oleoresin (Thaitian Scented)

IMPORTANT NOTE: I need to add this aromatic has been re-introduced today (18th October 2024) and that the four reviews you will read refer to the vanilla oleoresin we sold maybe 4 or 5 years ago – when it was of a much thicker, almost absolute type consistency, and also very dark in colour. What I am now offering is vanilla oleoresin that is pourable, of a thin to water like consistency and dark yellow-brown in colour. This is also reflected in the price. Thank you, Adam : ) 

Adam Michael has this to say “Applied on the scent strip, the opening minutes of Vanilla Oleoresin provide an intense dreamy vanillin-plasticine experience reminiscent of smelling Tahitian Vanilla Tincture along with the more classic notes of Vanilla planifolia. The body, albeit not as powerful and full-bodied, is comparable to vanilla absolute, exuding woody, floral and vanilla tonalities throughout. The dry down of vanilla oleoresin is more of the same with some toasted nutty nuances and oakwood barrel qualities and overall this is very true to smelling vanilla beans. Also far more cost effective compared to the absolute and much easier to use due to its very mobile consistency. Longevity on the strip stands at about 2 hours and as for uses, great within gourmand accords, Oriental bases, Rose accords, useful for building amber bases, vanilla bases (of course), improving honey notes, and generally works well for imparting sweetness and rounding out harsh notes within a composition.”
