This is the finest vanilla tincture on the market today. Every care and the characteristic Fraterworks attention to detail has been engaged at every step of the way. Our intensely rich, dark and luxurious tincture of vanilla is a unique way to add the full complexity of vanilla to your scent. We use specially harvested whole vanilla pods which are given extra drying time in the Madagascan sun to intensify their aroma for an especially dark and surprisingly powerful vanilla tincture. We use only the purest food grade alcohol made with remote New Zealand glacial water so nothing stands in the way of a perfect cold process vanilla extraction. Because our tincture is made at such a high concentration, the alcohol can absorb quite a lot of water naturally from the pods. As Steffen Arctander says: “Certain perfume houses still use the old fashioned “infusion” method of extraction. […] The resulting infusion may be filtered immediately or after cooling. […] It will become cloudy and show additional precipitate on standing.” All fragrances created with naturals or tinctures must be chilled overnight after maceration (typically a period of one month) and fine filtered to remove any cloudiness that may remain. Use the tincture directly in your perfume formulas or pre-blend it with perfumer's alcohol for a natural vanilla touch impossible to obtain any other way. NOTE: this tincture is not made in a food safe environment. This product is for perfume and cosmetic use only. This is not a food product.Origin: MadagascarVariety: Vanilla planifoliaPart: Sun-dried PodsMethod: Cold ethanol tincture
