Vanilla Oleoresin — 10 ml

🌿 Introduction
Vanilla Oleoresin is a warm, sensual, and comforting extract obtained from the cured beans (pods) of Vanilla planifolia , one of the most beloved aromatics in the world. Its aroma is sweet, creamy, and deeply balsamic , with soft woody undertones and a lingering warmth that evokes feelings of harmony and indulgence.
Unlike synthetic vanillin, natural Vanilla Oleoresin offers rich depth and complexity — a living, evolving aroma that combines honeyed sweetness, gentle spice, and resinous warmth . In perfumery, it serves as a heart-to-base note and an emotional anchor for floral, gourmand, and oriental compositions. In aromatherapy, it is cherished for its soothing and uplifting qualities.
At Herbsmetics, Vanilla Oleoresin is featured in our Perfume & Aromatherapy Workshops in Phuket , where guests explore how this timeless essence brings comfort, sensuality, and emotional depth to natural fragrances.
