Use

The smell of is commonly known, as vanilla: warm, spicy, sweet, powdery. The scent is medium strong, but can easily dominate. In addition, it is a solid, which can be difficult when experimenting and small series. Making a dilution of, for example, 10% or 25% can therefore be useful. We already sell a 25% dilution (in DPG).

Vanillin is widely applicable, but necessary in ambers. Together with labdanum resinoide, vanillin forms the so-called amber accord, which was developed around 1900 and is still widely used. It is also often found in chypres.

You usually use between 0.1% and 8% of this substance in the fragrance composition. It combines well with other balsamic scents, but also with lots of flowers, herbs, spices and woods. It adds sweetness and warmth. It is mainly a base note in perfumes. It is quite stable, but can cause discoloration to dark brown. For this reason, ethyl vanillin is often preferred in soap.

Witchcraft does not sell substances for use in or with foodstuffs, including vanillin.

When making a dilution: DPG is a suitable solvent, a 25% solution can be made. Use a water bath to dissolve the vanillin. The solution changes color over time from colorless to orange-yellow. Strong alcohol or Cosmetic Hair Water are also suitable as a solvent. In IPM it dissolves poorly. Keep cool, dry, dark and out of reach of children.
