Description
Vanilla oil is an absolute, solvent extracted from cured and fermented Vanilla planifolia beans from Madagascar, as vanilla cannot be steam distilled or pressed. It is a dark, thick, rich material with a warm, sweet, comforting aroma, and acts as a soft, lingering base note.
Its familiar, cosy scent is popular for creating a warm, relaxed atmosphere, and a few drops in a diffuser or oil burner fill a room with comfort. It blends beautifully with sandalwood, orange, rose, ylang ylang and lavender, softening and rounding a blend. It can irritate skin and eyes and may cause an allergic reaction, so always dilute well and patch test first.
- Warm, sweet, rich and comforting aroma
- Soft base note that rounds out and sweetens a blend
- Popular for a cosy, relaxed atmosphere
- Blends well with sandalwood, orange, rose and ylang ylang
Blends well with: Bergamot, jasmine, lavender, orange, patchouli, rose, sandalwood and ylang ylang
