Vanilla Extract | Comfort, Sweetness & Warm Rooms

Sweet, dark and unmistakable. Warmer and rounder than any distilled oil, and the one people reach past everything else for.

What It Is
Vanilla planifolia, a botanical extract from the cured pods. Vanilla is the seed pod of an orchid, hand-pollinated, and cured over months, which is why real vanilla is the second most expensive spice in the world after saffron.

In the Craft
Vanilla is a Venus material, worked for love, comfort and drawing people toward you. In folk practice it is the sweetening agent: added to a working to make an outcome, or a person, more amenable.

How to Work With It

• Add to a sweetening or love working.
• Diffuse for warmth and comfort in a room in winter.
• Anoint a candle for reconciliation or gentleness.
• Blend with orange and clove for a midwinter scent.

Blends well with: sweet orange, clove, patchouli, ylang ylang, sandalwood

Safety. For external use only. Essential oils are highly concentrated: always dilute in a carrier oil before skin contact and patch test first. Never take internally. Keep away from children and pets. Ask a qualified practitioner before use if you are pregnant, nursing, or managing a medical condition.

Why We Carry It

Not an essential oil. True vanilla cannot be steam distilled, so this is a botanical extract, and it is the warmest thing on the shelf.
