Vanilla Absolute Oil - Glycerin, Vanilla Plantifolia

Wrap yourself in the warm, creamy embrace of Vanilla Absolute Oil, an indulgent natural extract derived from the Vanilla planifolia bean. With its sweet, resinous, and slightly smoky aroma, this rich absolute delivers comfort, sensuality, and sophistication in a bottle. Whether you're crafting natural perfumes, blending skincare formulations, or enhancing home fragrances, Vanilla Absolute brings warmth and depth like no other oil.

Our Vanilla Absolute is sourced from Madagascar, home to the finest vanilla orchids in the world. It is extracted using solvent extraction, a process that preserves the full aromatic complexity of the beans—something steam distillation simply cannot achieve. The result? A thick, amber-coloured absolute with a long-lasting, intoxicating scent that blends effortlessly with florals, woods, spices, and resins.

This is not a synthetic vanilla fragrance. It’s the real deal: undiluted, pure, and naturally potent.

Origins and Extraction:

Our Vanilla Absolute is produced from the cured pods (beans) of Vanilla planifolia grown in Madagascar. The beans undergo a lengthy sun-drying and fermentation process to develop their signature scent, before being extracted using food-grade solvents.

This method preserves the full-bodied, complex aroma while delivering an oil that’s suitable for blending and topical use (when properly diluted).

How to Use Vanilla Absolute Oil:

Due to its high concentration and thick consistency, Vanilla Absolute is typically diluted before use. A little goes a long way.

• Aromatherapy & Diffuser Blends: Blend 2–3 drops with a lighter essential oil (like orange, lavender, or benzoin) in your diffuser. Vanilla adds depth and sweetness.
• Skincare & Massage: Mix 1 drop in 10ml carrier oil (jojoba, sweet almond, etc.). Use in massage oils or add to unscented lotions. Avoid applying undiluted.
• Bath: Blend 2 drops with a carrier oil or neutral bath base before dispersing into water. Adds a calming, indulgent note to your soak.
• Natural Perfume: Vanilla pairs beautifully with floral, resin, and citrus notes. Add 1–2 drops per 10ml alcohol base for a natural perfume blend.

Cautions:

• External use only
• Do not apply neat to skin – always dilute
• Keep out of reach of children and pets
• Not advised during pregnancy or nursing without professional consultation
• Store in a cool, dark place to preserve aroma

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Is Vanilla Absolute the same as vanilla essential oil?
No. Vanilla Absolute is extracted using solvents, not steam distillation. “Vanilla essential oil” doesn’t exist in the traditional sense—it’s either an absolute, CO2 extract, or synthetic fragrance.

Can I use it in a diffuser?
Yes, though it’s very thick. Blend with a thinner essential oil or use a nebulising diffuser for best results.

Is it food-grade or edible?
No. This product is for external use only and is not suitable for consumption.

Is this natural vanilla or synthetic?
100% natural. No added fragrance, fillers, or vanillin isolates.
