There definitely IS essential oil of vanilla. I have several in my collection. Some are absolutes (solvent extracted) and some are CO2's (CO2 extracted). The CO2's smell amazing, but are very expensive. Try to find an organic one.
I am an owner of a natural bodycare company, and I use the CO2's in my products - they're great!

I repeat
The is no such thing as Essential Oil of Vanilla.
There may be a man made Perfume.
How are you going to extract essential oil from Vanilla beans? Think about it
It would be dearer than Rose absolute.

Nearly all Vanilla extract (alcohol based) is artificial derived from wood pulp. Vanilla was the first artificial flavour made sometime in the 1890s-1900s

These oils are truly amazing! Check it out and see for yourself.... did you know that most "essential oils" sold in health food stores are loaded with petrochemicals (up to 35% is additives even with the label of PURE essential oils on it, and it's all legal.).... Question is would you put these kinds of oils on your body or skin... it does go into your body. I would not... We do enough of that to ourselves daily. Contact me if you have any questions at all... Stay well! ~~Jenn~~

Also, an even better "balm" recipe is to use a natural oil as a base, (like olive) and add a small amount of melted beeswax to it, blending well with a whisk.
It will then harden to a balm consistency as it cools.
Usually 1 oz. beeswax to 4 oz. of oil, with essential oils added to the oil. Do not heat the oil much, if at all, just the wax...small batches work best.

This type of balm is a better consistency and will absorb very nicely and keep up to a year in a sealed jar.
You can also try making an "infused" oil with fresh or partially dried herbs soaked in the oil for 2-4 weeks and then straining and adding essential oils as well to it, then adding the melted beeswax.
It is easy to do, but takes a little more time to plan and do.

NONE of these oils would be really a good choice for a sleep enhancer....as vanilla is only a "fragrance" oil, and orange and ylang ylang are mildly stimulant....better to go with lavender, hops, catnip, yarrow, chamomile, valerian....there are many to choose from, but some are harder to find as an essential oil than others.
You can use the dry herbs in a small pillow/sachet to smell before and during sleep.
