You might be wondering is vanilla fragrance natural? Is vanilla perfume oil natural? The word 'fragrance' or 'natural' when referring to a scent, is usually a clue that something is not in fact the kind of natural we are looking for. When I look for a 'natural perfume', I am wanting something made straight from the scented part of the plant (like a vanilla bean). Unfortunately most ingredient lists are very vague and leave you unsure of what is actually being used for the vanilla scent...
