Vanilla CO2, Organic - 10%

Invaluable in natural perfumery, Vanilla smooths rough edges, warms floral blends, and softens coniferous notes. Our organic Vanilla CO2 – 10% has a very rich, warm, sweet and somewhat woody/animalic-like aroma, with soft notes of spice and tobacco and a very deep, sweet, balsamic body note. This Vanilla CO2 organic has been pre-diluted to 10% Vanilla CO2 – organic in 90% Fractionated Coconut Oil – organic.  It is premixed to make it affordable and easy to use as is.

The fragrance of vanilla is one of universal appeal – the familiar aroma invites sensuality and confidence, conveys comfort, and softens the ambiance.[1],[2] Try blending it with your favorite essential oils, absolutes and CO2 extracts. To add a green note to vanilla, use Violet Leaf; adding traces of Celery or Caraway CO2 makes it sophisticated and intimate.[3]

Vanilla, a flowering tropical plant of the orchid family, is a very costly and labor-intensive crop. It takes approximately 4-5 years after planting for Vanilla to set its first blossoms and it takes 600 hand-pollinated blossoms to produce only 1 kilo of cured Vanilla pods. These are picked by hand while still green and are sold to special processing plants where they are sorted, blanched, steamed, and sun-dried. They are then re-sorted, dried in the shade, and fermented while being continually evaluated for aroma and individually inspected for quality. No wonder true Vanilla is such a precious commodity!

This Vanilla CO2 organic has been pre-diluted to 10% Vanilla CO2 – organic in 90% Fractionated Coconut Oil – organic.  It is premixed to make it affordable and easy to use as is. For the pure and undiluted version of this oil, please see our Vanilla CO2 – organic.
