Vanilla
Sweet and warm, the most universally comforting note in the range.
What Vanilla actually smells like
Vanilla comes from the cured pod of Vanilla planifolia, extracted as an absolute rather than steam-distilled — a solvent-based method better suited to pulling the full, syrupy sweetness out of a cured pod without losing it to heat. The result is the note most people already associate with comfort before they've even smelled the bottle.
That universal familiarity is exactly why it's suited to bedrooms and evenings — a scent that needs no explanation to feel like winding down.

A note on safety
For external aromatherapy use only — never taken internally. Use with care during pregnancy, ideally in a diffuser rather than on skin, and avoid entirely during the first trimester unless a qualified practitioner advises otherwise. Suitable for diffuser and inhalation use for adults and children 12 and over; for younger children, consult a healthcare professional first. Use with caution around pets, and never apply topically to an animal. Store below 30°C, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children and pets.
