Pro Tip

Vanilla is thick and creamy and often crystalizes in cold; simply warm and shake to merge the crystalline oil and then, if you wish, mix with jojoba or another essential oil for easy pours.

Vanilla Essential Oil is typically found as an “absolute” or solvent-extracted oleoresin, yet our peerless CO2 distillation creates a completely pure and naturally potent product. Our solvent-free Vanilla Essential Oil is perfect for perfumes, love lotions, and pure enough to use in the kitchen. Dilute in virgin coconut oil and add a drop to smoothies, honey, chocolate making, and desserts. The sweet scent inspires a warm sense of nostalgia.

Considered by some to be the closest natural scent to a mother’s milk, Vanilla Essential Oil comforts with its cloud nine scented caress.

“The perfumer is heavily indebted to vanilla… not only does it give a sweet and pleasing fragrance, but it is unusually lasting and is, therefore, excellent for “fixing” a fragrance.”
~ Jill Jesse, Perfume Album

“For a while he was witched by the wind that yields faint fragrance of vanilla fields, and watched the pendulous humming-bird cling to the rocking flower, like a golden thing.”
~ Frederick William Faber
