Historically, vanilla extract was the only ';perfume'; many rural families had, so a young lady might put it on when some young man was coming to visit.





Rural American families didn't have many worldly goods, so something that smelled good and was useful otherwise as a cooking necessity made good sense. Families often collected wildflowers to freshen a house and mask the staleness of a house closed in the winter. Caches were developed from this idea and freshen drawers even today. Dried flowers were placed among clothes or in a pantry where salted meat was kept to remove a stale or sour odor.





So, yes, try it and see how long it stays sweet smelling. Or you could buy a perfume based on vanilla flavor and enjoy the same fragrance..Would using vanilla exctract as perfume work?
No no no! It will start to smell sour. You can use essential oils but NOT cooking extracts.





If you have any essential oil, vanilla, lavender, ylang ylang... whichever, you can add a few drops to almond oil a apply a few dabs to the skin.
It won't work with vanilla extract alone...
