Vanilla Absolute (Aged 16 Years)

Vanilla Absolute Aged 16 Years

Explore a mature expression of vanilla with Vanilla Absolute (Aged 16 Years) from Australian Oils Of Nature. Crafted from Vanilla planifolia pods, this long-aged aromatic material offers warm, resinous and honeyed sweetness with dried-fruit, tobacco-like and velvety leather nuances.

For a perfume that calls for more than straightforward vanilla sweetness, its layered base-note character offers a distinctive starting point. Build an amber or gourmand accord around its balsamic depth, then explore the contrast of woods, resins, florals or spice.

Aromatic and physical profile

A thick, dark brown, highly viscous liquid with a full-bodied fragrance. Soft, creamy vanilla opens with faint fruit and spice, developing into warm balsamic sweetness, tobacco-like notes, caramel and dried fruit. Deep resinous vanilla, leather-like nuances and rich gourmand warmth form the base.

Tobacco, caramel and leather describe aromatic impressions, not added ingredients. The existing description states that the absolute was aged for over 16 years; the product is designated Aged 16 Years. Its listed extraction method is solvent extraction using HFC-134a.

Choose your size

Select 5mL for small fragrance trials or 10mL for ongoing perfume development. Both sizes are the same listed aged absolute. This is a concentrated perfumery ingredient, not a ready-to-use body oil.

Blending and applications

Use in appropriately formulated fine perfumes, particularly amber, gourmand and resin-focused compositions. Its mature vanilla character can add depth, softness and lasting warmth to an accord.

Aromatic pairings include sandalwood, agarwood (oud), frankincense, labdanum, patchouli, benzoin, rose, jasmine, cardamom and clove. These are fragrance suggestions, not safe-use recipes. Confirm carrier and solvent compatibility and observe each ingredient's restrictions, especially when using concentrated spice materials.

Care and safety

For perfumery use only. For external use only. Do not ingest or apply concentrated absolute directly to skin. Obtain product-specific formulation and dilution guidance before making a skin fragrance; no numerical dilution recipe is supplied. Patch test an appropriately formulated finished product before wider use and stop use if irritation occurs.

Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Keep out of reach of children. Store tightly closed in a cool, dark place, away from heat. Follow the supplier's batch-specific expiry or retest guidance; ageing does not establish an indefinite remaining shelf life or guarantee skin safety.
