Yes, vanilla is a very beautiful scent to use in spells!
& I do agree with these two!!!

Protection, Love/lust, healing.. Many more...I do also think if you need a substitute, Vanilla is the way to go. : D
Breathing in I feel gratitude; Breathing out I give thanks.
Breathing in I feel joyful; Breathing out I celebrate.
Breathing in I know compassion; Breathing I am compassion.
Breathing in I feel loved; Breathing out I offer love.
Breathing in I am still; Breathing out I am at peace.
Om.
