I see a lot of descriptions that say "Madagascar" Vanilla, does anyone know what this means exactly? I have purchased a few Vanilla FO's that were extremely disappointing, I have also seen Vanilla absolute and Vanilla essential oil. I am confused because I didn't think there was such a thing as a Vanilla EO. When I read up on absolutes, it seems that they can be a little thick or "pasty". How would I use a Vanilla Absolute in a perfume oil without having the person "warm" the bottle or have to see a glob of absolute in their bottle? Thank you

Madagascar vanilla is usually a bourbon base, while "traditional" vanilla is a straight alcohol base. Madagascar vanilla has a much stronger vanilla scent, more rich spicy notes. It is seen more as a premium vanilla. Vanilla EO doesn't exist! Not sure what vanilla absolute is like, all of the absolutes I have aren't much thicker than a traditional EO.
