Vanilla- Different Types and the Incorporation in Perfumes

People discovered vanilla approximately five centuries ago, and since then, it has continued to seduce our noses and our taste buds. Even today, it’s hard not to get excited when one comes upon a perfume bottle that carries the perfect sweet scent.

Vanilla for perfumery originated in Mexico, where melipona, a small bee, forages on flowers to produce the pod. It does so by bringing the female and male organs of the flower together. Today, a single worker can fertilize up to 1500 flowers daily using a bamboo tip.

Experts use a volatile extract, which dissolves the beans in a solvent. After allowing them sufficient time to evaporate, the beans are then immersed in an extractor, a vat. Workers further wash the solvent with ethanol before bringing it to a boil.

The evaporation process results in resinoid: a fragrant paste. Through further ethanol washing and glazing, the workers achieve what perfumers clamor for, vanilla absolute. This is what adds the magical scent that we all love!

Different Types

Vanilla exists in three main types that we achieve through commercial production. These include:
  • Vanilla pompon
  • Vanilla tahitiensis
  • Vanilla planifolia

For Her, Him, and Unisex
