Botanical Name: Vanilla Planifolia
Extraction Method: Solvent & Steam Extraction
Description: Vanilla is a perennial herbaceous climbing vine that can
grow up to 25 meters (82 feet) high and that is native to Central America and
Mexico. In cultivation the deep trumpet-shaped flowers of the vanilla must be
hand-pollinated; while in Mexico the native humming bird do the work. The green
capsules or fruit are picked, cured, and the immature vanilla pod or bean is
fermented and dried to turn it into a fragrant brown vanilla bean.
Common Uses: Vanilla Essential Oil is considered a premiere sensual
aphrodisiac and one of the most popular flavors/aromas. A major ingredient in many oriental perfume profiles,
it can work well in creams and lotions. However, one of its constituents,
vanillin, makes it turn brown and spotty in soaps and candles, so is not
advised.
Aromatic Scent: Vanilla is one of the most well known scents. The oil has
a rich, sweet, vanilla odour.
Caution: EXTERNAL USE ONLY.
