Enfleurage is a technique of extracting aromatic oils that goes back thousands of years. It works on the simple principle that fats dissolve essential oils and thereby absorb their aromas. The vanilla bean is soaked in purified fats to absorb the aromatic oils and then soaked in alcohol. The aromatic oils migrate to the alcohol, which is then separated from the fat, and then the alcohol is evaporated leaving only the aromatic oil.

Not my favourite

I didnt care for this paticular fragrance oil - it has a very strange after smell - im stuck with a lot of it so I will use it in mixed fragrance recipes.

Best vanilla product

I have tried many vanilla scents and this one has the best scent and the best behaviour in CP soap though it does accelerate trace. Also smells great in soy candles. Will turn soap dark brown as expected.

sharpee

I bought this because good reviews. I dont know if they changed the source, but it smells horrible. toxic smell, as if its completely unnatural. You know that weird funky plasticy sharpee marker smell. Just like that. With a hint of vanilla. Even to touch, its clealy not just oil because it does not slowly absorb into skin and has a dry chemical feel to it. Unfortunate.

mild

This product behaves well in cold process soap, but is quite a mild scent, and doesn't have the full, rich depth of regular vanilla. Blending it with another scent helps fill in the olfactory blanks. It's still worth using.

A good natural alternative to the high priced vanilla essential oil

Even with the processing involved, I found the vanilla oil scent is very similar to the EO. It seems to be a good natural-source alternative to vanilla EO that is harder to find and very expensive now due to the vanilla crop shortage.
