Guest guest Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 I like the vanilla co2 from " A woman of uncommonscents " that I have -- no problem with rash however my arms are not that sensitive. Secondly I love tinctured Vanilla beans from Mexico, New Guinea and Tahiti. Dorothy McCall, Cert. Aroma.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 I What is your favorite vanilla for perfumery? Vanilla absolute, oleoresin, co2, tincture or infusion? I found a CO2 total that smelled heavenly, but all of the perfume blends with this material broke me out in a terrible rash, so I cannot use it (I wonder if this is a common reaction?). I am curious if a vanilla CO2 select does not have such an irritating effect, has anyone out there used it? Have you had good results with infused vanilla for oil based perfumes, in terms of having a good intensity? If so, have you used the vanilla infused oil as your base for the perfume, or do you dilute it further with additional oil? Thanks! Dear Michele, All I can offer at the moment is a comrade in beeginning arms. I have ordered some vanillla beans from the latest blowout buy and am going to try my hand at tincuting, making an extract(for food) and perhaps even infusing. Thus far I have only infused flowers and roots (to very good end) for lotions , creams and salves. Would love to infuse/tincute some saffron too! As soon as I have some free time (perhaps later this week or this weedend) I am hoping to search the files for the clearst instructions. I have ambergris I haven't tincutred yet! Wish me good luck! I hope perfumer's alcohol or vodka is OK for tincutring. If not I will have to look further I guess. Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long lasting. You can do both -- either use it as a base (extremely strong), or dilute it, as I do. I also play around and boost the complexity with some absolute, some tonka, deerstongue, etc. We're here to learn and go wild and set our own creative forces in motion -----> go, go, go ----> play around and you'll be amazed at the results. > Anya http://.com The premier site on the Web to discover the beauty of Natural Perfume " The Age of the Foodie is passé.

Use high proof 150 vodka if you can't get 190, unless you're willing to experiment with some underlying scent before you get the botanical extracted. > Anya http://.com The premier site on the Web to discover the beauty of Natural Perfume " The Age of the Foodie is passé.
