Can Sandalwood and Vanilla Oils Boost Perfumes?
Sandalwood and vanilla in your perfume blends? The answer is a resounding yes! Both sandalwood and vanilla essential oils have long been used in the making of perfumes. Each oil has its own distinct, sweet aroma that can lend to any fragrance blend.

Sandalwood essential oil is derived from the wood of a small evergreen tree found primarily in India. It's widely believed by many that the oil has a calming and sedative effect on the mind, while also promoting spiritual awareness and inner peace. Additionally, this precious oil can provide warm undertones to almost any blend of perfume.

Vanilla essential oil offers a unique scent derived from the fermented beans of an orchid.

Go figure!

It's also known for its calming and reassuring qualities. It makes a great base note in many perfumes. The aroma of the vanilla creates sweet, creamy perfume blends that can be quite alluring.

How Much of Each Oil Should Be Used in A Perfume Blend?



When adding sandalwood and vanilla essential oils to a perfume blend, it is important to use them in the right proportions. Generally speaking, you should use no more than 2-3 drops of each oil per 10ml of your base fragrance. This will ensure that the scent isn’t too overpowering but still has enough depth and character. If you’re looking for a more intense scent, you can increase the number of drops of each oil but be sure to keep it in moderation. Remember, a little bit goes a long way!

Once you’ve determined the right ratio, it’s just a matter of experimenting with different combinations until you find the perfect scent for you.
