What would vanilla flavoring that can also be used in a fragrance be called, n where can I find it?!
Answers: Vanilla Essence. You can buy it at Coles or Woolworths or any other local supermarket.
Ummm, vanilla bean? Vanilla extract? Try your local grocery or a specialty foods store, a gourmet food store if there is one in your area.
The actual chemical that is recognized as vanilla is Vanillin (vanilaldehyde). This is what is used in artificial Vanilla extract.
For a more complex smell, ground vanilla beans or pure Vanilla extract found in most grocery stores would do fine.
If you rub a little vanilla extract (like you use when baking) on a cold lightbulb then turn on the light, it will make the room smell like vanilla. Be sure to only rub it on the lightbulb when the lightbulb is cool or it could cause it to break.
