## About
Warm, welcoming and deeply comforting, vanilla has a way of calling up the kitchens of childhood, which may be why it feels like coming home. This CO2 extract is the richest, sweetest form of that scent we have known.It is Vanilla planifolia, organically produced from beans grown in Madagascar and CO2 extracted in Germany. It contains over 12 percent vanillin and, unlike the more familiar vanilla absolute, carries no solvent residues. It is very intense, and only in extremely low dilutions does its sweetness come forward. A touch softens any blend: it is wonderful with the citrus oils, gentles the coniferous oils, and belongs in holiday scents and homemade lip balms, where orange and vanilla are lovely together.DetailsBotanical name: Vanilla planifoliaBeans organically grown in Madagascar; CO2 extracted in GermanyVanillin content: over 12 percentBlends with bergamot, grapefruit, lemon, mandarin, orange, sandalwood, tangerine, vetiver, rose and most floralsHow to useAdd a drop or two to a carrier oil for a romantic massage base, or dilute it in oil or alcohol to smooth a perfume. Undiluted it is very thick and will most likely not pass the orifice reducer, so warm the bottle in hot water, then remove the reducer and pour or pipette. Our 10 percent dilution is easier to work with. Avoid it in the early stages of pregnancy, and never take it internally.The warmest note in the cabinet, for the blends you want to come home to.
