An
abomination that
supposedly takes like
vanilla beans but instead really has the
scent of
cheap perfume, or nasty,
generic cream soda. Usually made from the
chemical vanillin, which despite having the word
vanilla in the name, does not actually come from
vanilla beans or from anything
natural that creates
vanilla. It has a
chemical structure that has somewhat the
smell of vanilla.
Please either use real vanilla beans or get a good vanilla extract instead. You're not saving enough money buying imitation vanilla to make it worth the loss to your soul.
