Question for people who know about perfumery.

Where does one acquire a good, inexpensive single-note vanilla scent?

Personally, I would buy a vanilla bean. I don't trust any vendor I've tried.

Not appropriate to my purposes, unfortunately! I need a liquid. If I don't get any recommendations, I'll probably just order some straight vanillin and ethyl vanillin samples here.

I might check out how the bourbon vanilla in the Trader Joe's baking shelf wears as a perfume first.

Ask rydra_wong.

All I can think of is Safeway, in the spices aisle.

I'm pretty sure you've already rejected that for reasons I am utterly ignorant of.

(What is unsuitable about vanilla extract, by the bye? Of a sudden I find myself uncommonly fascinated.)
