Vanilla Essential Oil Blend

This is a review of 2 varieties of Handcrafted Blends Essential Oil: Wintergreen and Vanilla WINTERGREEN: This is a one ounce bottle of Wintergreen Essential Oil. As the included photos show, it passes the "white paper test," indicating it is a high quality, pure essential oil. Handcrafted Blends is one of my favorite EO distributors. All of their oils are high quality and pure. Wintergreen is a topmiddle mote. It, of course, has a minty aroma. It blends well with spicy oils like Thyme and Oregano, floral EOs like lavender, geranium, and YlangYlang, citrus oils like lemon and orange, and other minty oils, like peppermint and spearmint. Wintergreen is good for easing congestion, relieving pain, easing headaches, easing stress, and enhancing introspection. This oil comes in an amber glass bottle with an optional eyedropper top. It both blends and diffuses well. I like and recommend this essential oil. VANILLA: This is a one ounce bottle of Vanilla Essential Oil. It comes in an amber glass bottle, with a dropper cap packaged separately. It has a light vanilla scent. The scent is much lighter than the kind of vanilla you use in baking or than vanilla coffee syrup. It is a very fresh scent, and on its own, clears the air without adding any heavy scent. But I think the strength of vanilla oil is in taking the edge off other scents. This oil blends wonderfully with other essential oils. I like the benefits Thyme oil offers, but on its own, it just smells like you've been cooking Sunday Sauce. But blended with vanilla oil, it takes the strong herbal scent and almost makes it fruitier as well as milder. This vanilla oil also blends beautiful with lavender oil, taking that floral soapy scent and turning it into something more delicious smelling. I tested this in my ultrasonic diffuser, and this oil diffused very well, both alone and with other oils. It takes a little while longer to "notice" the scent on its own. In a diffuser, this oil leaves more of a background scent than a "smacks you in the face" scent, which is something I like. Now because this is a pure oil, you must dilute it with a carrier oil (like jojoba, shea, almond, or even grapeseed) before applying it directly to your skin. But you can add a few drops to your lotion safely to give it the light, vanilla scent. But I like blending it with other oils and diffusing it personally. This oil is priced competitively at about 10 an ounce, which is about the price most 1 ounce bottles of essential oil sell for. If you are a fan of light, clean, cozy scents, I recommend you try this vanilla essential oil.

Nice smell. You get a good amount for the price.
