Vanilla planifolia is a species
of vanilla orchid. It is native to Mexico, and is one of the primary sources
for vanilla flavouring, due to its high vanillin content. Common names are
Flat-leaved Vanilla, Tahitian Vanilla, and West Indian Vanilla. Often, it is
simply referred to as "the vanilla". It was first scientifically
named in 1808.
Vanilla Extract, like the type
that is used for baking, is made by macerating vanilla beans in ethanol or
another form of alcohol. The ethanol serves as the solvent. Vanilla
Oleoresin, to my understanding, is produced by taking Vanilla Extract and
removing the ethanol or whatever solvent was used to originally produce the
Vanilla Extract. Vanilla Oleoresin can be thicker than many essential oils. It
depends on the Vanilla Oleoresin and on how much of the solvent has been
removed. It can also depend upon your current room temperature. The cooler the
oleoresin is, the thicker it will be to work with.
By its nature, Vanilla Oleoresin dissolves best in water and alcohol-based solutions (i.e. a body spray). Unlike essential oils, Vanilla Oleoresin is lipophobic and does not properly dissolve in carrier oils.

Vanilla is one of the most
ancient spice products grown in the Americas. The extract from the bean was revered
by the Aztecs in Mexico and was reserved for the elite. Cortés is credited with
bringing vanilla to Europe and eventually the rest of the world.Vanilla is one
of the most thoroughly studied crop trees that exist. Specific times of
cultivation, harvest, planting, germination, and curing are essential to the
production of the best vanilla.
Vanilla was first cultivated for
the unique taste that the beans provide. Ice cream is probably the best known
use of vanilla, but the beans are used in perfumes and medicine as
well. Vanilla has been used for thousands of years as an alluring and
seductive perfume. A single drop on the wrist or behind the ear has
legendary attractive properties.
Vanilla oleoresin (vanilla planifolia)
is known to be an anti-oxidant and an aphrodisiac. It can help lower
fevers, as well as lower depression symptoms. Vanilla oleoresin,
though it releases depression, is also good for peace
and relaxation. The physical and mental benefits of vanilla are attributed
to the high content of antioxidants in the vanilla bean
oil. This oleoresin is used for all around removing of
harmful toxins, both emotionally and physically.
Food flavoring is the most common
use of vanilla. Reading the labels of common foods will enlighten anyone about
the number of foods that have vanilla in them.
Many major perfumes have a touch
of vanilla added because vanilla has long been known as an aphrodisiac. The
potent scent is said to have driven men to distraction.
