Botanical Name: Vanilla planifolia Botanical Family: Orchidaceae
· Extraction Method: Solvent Extraction (Absolute), CO2 Extraction, or Oleoresin
· Part Used: Cured Seed Pods (Beans)
· Aroma Note: Base
Vanilla is one of the most beloved and recognizable scents in the world. It is derived from a climbing orchid native to Mexico, though it is now famously cultivated in Madagascar and Reunion. Producing the oil is a labor-intensive journey: the flowers must be hand-pollinated, and the green pods must undergo a meticulous "curing" process for several months to develop the characteristic vanillin aroma. True Vanilla is not a steam-distilled essential oil but rather an Absolute, CO2 Extract, or Oleoresin. Its aroma is creamy, balsamic, rich, and warm, with a sweetness that is deep rather than sugary.
Antidepressant, Antioxidant, Aphrodisiac, Febrifuge, Relaxant, Sedative (nervous), Stomachic.
· Nervous System: The "Ultimate Comforter." Vanilla has a profound sedative effect on the brain. It is used to lower blood pressure, quiet hyperactivity, and soothe the nervous system during moments of intense stress or anger.
· Sleep: Excellent for insomnia and restlessness. Its heavy base note helps "anchor" the mind, making it a perfect companion for those who struggle with racing thoughts at night.
· Skin Care: Rich in antioxidants, Vanilla helps protect the skin from environmental damage. It is often used in anti-aging formulations to soothe inflammation and promote a healthy, radiant glow.
· Libido: Long prized as a natural aphrodisiac, it helps reduce performance anxiety and promotes a sense of safety and relaxation, which can naturally boost the libido.
· Appetite: Smelling Vanilla can help curb sugar cravings by satisfying the brain's "sweet center" without the intake of calories.
Vanilla is the "Oil of Maternal Comfort." It is widely considered the closest natural scent to a mother’s milk, which is why it triggers such a deep sense of safety, nostalgia, and warmth. It is for those who feel emotionally "orphan," insecure, or over-stimulated by the modern world. Vanilla provides a "cloud nine" caress, wrapping the soul in a blanket of security and helping to dissolve irritability and tension.
1. The "Sweet Dreams" Diffuser: Diffuse 3 drops of Vanilla with 3 drops of Lavender 30 minutes before sleep to create a sanctuary of rest.
2. The "Nostalgia" Body Oil: Mix 2 drops of Vanilla into 15ml of Jojoba oil. Use as a comforting body moisturizer to feel grounded and secure throughout the day.
3. Sugar-Crave Inhalation: When a sugar craving hits, inhale Vanilla directly from the bottle for 30 seconds to help settle the impulse.
The "Warm Hug" Blend To ease anxiety and promote deep contentment
· 2 drops Vanilla
· 4 drops Orange (Sweet)
· 2 drops Sandalwood
Benzoin, Bergamot, Cinnamon, Clove, Frankincense, Geranium, Jasmine, Lemon, Neroli, Orange, Patchouli, Rose, Sandalwood, and Vetiver.
Generally non-toxic and non-irritant. However, Vanilla Absolute and CO2 extracts are very thick and can be sensitizing if used undiluted. Always perform a patch test. Note that "Vanilla Oleoresin" is lipophobic (it doesn't mix well with carrier oils but mixes with water/alcohol), whereas "Vanilla CO2" or "Absolute" will mix with oils.
Available sizes: 13ml
