Our Vanilla Absolute is extracted from the dried pods of Vanilla planifolia (Bourbon Vanilla), traditionally grown in Madagascar. This exquisite absolute offers a deep, sweet, and comforting aroma, layered with rich caramel/burnt sugar notes.

The term Bourbon Vanilla refers to Vanilla planifolia cultivated on the Indian Ocean islands, where the climate produces vanilla of exceptional depth and quality. Universally loved, its fragrance gently soothes the emotions—inviting warmth, sensuality, and ease while helping to melt away tension, frustration, and emotional fatigue. In natural perfumery, Vanilla Absolute is prized as a base note, beautifully rounding sharp edges, warming floral blends, and softening woody or coniferous aromas.

Each and every batch of Amala essential oils is tested by an independent international laboratory before being sent to us. A Certificate of Analysis is issued, stating the purity of the oil.

SAFETY

Keep out of reach of children. If pregnant or under a doctor’s care, consult a physician. Avoid contact with eyes.

Do not use internally unless instructed by a licensed aromatherapist or physician. Essential oils are highly concentrated and powerful oils and can cause serious harm if ingested without the necessary expertise required - for this reason, ingestion of essential oils is NOT recommended.

We do not recommend using essential oils on pets, unless under the care of a veterinarian or aromatherapist.
