About this material

Vanilla Absolute Bourbon is a premium vanilla derived from Vanilla planifolia beans, typically sourced from Madagascar and extracted using a solvent method to yield a highly concentrated, rich aromatic product.

The term “Bourbon” refers not to the whiskey but to the Bourbon Islands (including Madagascar, Réunion, and Comoros), where these vanilla beans are traditionally cultivated.

It has a deep, warm, sweet and creamy aroma with rich caramel, balsamic, and sometimes smoky or woody undertones.

Compared to standard vanilla extracts, Vanilla Bourbon Absolute is much more intense, resinous, and complex, resulting in a highly concentrated absolute that retains a wide range of the bean’s aromatic compounds, including vanillin, coumarin and other trace volatiles.

Vanilla Absolute is used primarily as a base note or fixative in fine fragrances due to its richness and longevity.

Valued for its comforting, calming, and aphrodisiac aromatherapy properties.

Not to be confused with Vanilla extract that is alcohol-based and typically used in cooking, Vanilla Bourbon Absolute is far more potent, viscous and primarily used in perfumery and cosmetics.

Complex natural materials contain multiple constituents and are not represented by one molecular structure.

Fragrance allergen reference

Generic regulatory reference only. This is not a supplier allergen declaration, measured composition, allergen-free claim or finished-product labelling assessment.

Raw-material reference based on recorded CAS numbers. A CAS match identifies a reference entry; it does not verify the supplied grade, composition, purity or finished-product compliance. Naturals, bases and mixtures require composition review.

European Union / Northern Ireland

No direct listed-entry CAS match in this jurisdiction’s held reference set. This does not mean the material is allergen-free. Constituents, grouped entries and natural-material composition may require further review.

Finished-cosmetic declaration thresholds: greater than 0.001% leave-on; greater than 0.01% rinse-off. Apply the current target-market rules to the actual complete formulation; no concentration is inferred here.

Documentation Supply Policy

IFRA formulation guide

Generic reference only — not an IFRA certificate, compliance decision or use recommendation. The Responsible Person and qualified safety assessor must assess the actual finished formula using current applicable IFRA Standards, supplementary documentation where available and the CPSR.

Source: 51st Amendment overview, held source checked 2026-10-21. Bundle 2026-10-27. Individual Standards prevail over the overview.

No direct IFRA overview entry matched the recorded CAS in this held dataset. This does not mean unrestricted use, absence of relevant Standards or compliance. Constituent restrictions may still apply.

Creative ideas to explore

Creative directions, not tested formulas.

Smoke and petals

With rose and a clear floral accord

Explore a smoky rose sketch by setting the listed smoke character beside a familiar flower. Compare it with the rose alone, deciding whether the accent suggests a distant atmosphere, a charred edge or too much darkness.

Timber and embers

With sandalwood and dry wood directions

Build a wood-focused study with the smoky material as the changing element. Compare a smooth wood setting with a drier one and keep notes on the difference between a recognisable timber impression and an abstract smoke effect.

A bright interruption

With bergamot and an aromatic opening

Try citrus brightness as a deliberate contrast to the smoky direction. Compare a matching version without the citrus, then judge whether the opening creates a useful transition into smoke or belongs to a different composition.

If swallowed or otherwise exposed, follow the SDS first-aid instructions and seek medical advice as appropriate. Do not induce vomiting unless directed by a medical professional.

Product-specific warnings, handling precautions and storage requirements take precedence over this general information.

Read the applicable SDS

A Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is available to logged in users who have purchased this item, where applicable.

Documents are not supplied before purchase.

Read the applicable SDS before handling or using the material. Follow its instructions for hazards, protective equipment, first aid, handling, storage and disposal.

An SDS provides information about the material supplied; it does not replace an assessment of the safety or compliance of a finished formulation.

Please note that supplementary documentation—including, but not limited to, IFRA Certificates, Certificates of Analysis (CoA), Allergen Declarations, and other regulatory or compositional data—may not be available for all products. Refer to the "Supplementary Documentation" tab to check current availability. If the tab is not present, no supplementary documents are available for the material.

Customers intending to use materials in cosmetic applications, including for the preparation of a Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR) under UK and EU Cosmetics Regulations, must contact us prior to purchase to confirm the availability and suitability of any required documentation where it is not explicitly stated. Orders must not be placed in reliance on the assumption that such documentation will be provided where it is not explicitly stated on the relevant product page at the time of purchase.

Customer responsibility

These limitations apply to reliance on all documentation supplied, including IFRA information, allergen declarations, Certificates of Analysis (CoAs), technical data sheets, specifications and other supporting documents.

Perfume Extract is solely a reseller of this product and is not an agent, official distributor, or affiliated in any way with the manufacturer.

Customers are responsible for determining whether the material and available documentation meet their requirements before purchase, and for assessing the safety and compliance of their finished products.

We do not provide formulation instructions, formulation consultancy or confirmation of suitability at a particular concentration or for a particular application.

Producer identity, detailed sourcing and processing information are not disclosed beyond the information published in the product listing.

Please read our Documentation Supply Policy alongside the product specification and available documentation.

Synonyms, alternative names, CAS/EC references, botanical names, manufacturer references and external links may describe a substance or material family generally. They should not, on their own, be taken as confirmation of the supplied material’s producer, geographical origin, manufacturing process, grade, purity, constituent levels or batch characteristics.

In particular, a synonym or reference must not be used to infer that a material is free from a particular constituent, meets a numerical specification, or is suitable for a particular application or concentration.

IFRA information, allergen declarations, Certificates of Analysis (CoAs), technical data sheets and other supporting documents apply only within their expressly stated scope. A general specification or reference document is not a batch-specific analytical result unless it expressly identifies the relevant batch.

If information appears inconsistent, or a particular characteristic is essential to your purchase, contact us for written clarification before ordering. Do not resolve discrepancies by assuming that a synonym, external reference or document for another grade applies to the material supplied.

We do not confirm characteristics beyond those expressly supported by the applicable product specification or our written confirmation. Customers remain responsible for assessing their complete formulation and intended application.
