I made vanilla soap

[Jeremy]

but everyone that smells it, including me says it smells like bitter chocolate. What gives?
It's not an all together unpleasant smeell, but it sure ain't vanilla.
Oh yeah, I bought it from NDA wholesale.

a great vanilla is the HOLY GRAIL for soapers. every supplier carries something different. i've had some that smell like playdough, even!

Brambleberry apparently has a non discoloring vanilla. I haven't tried it, but perhaps its worth while to look into?

Does your soap have a high cocoa butter content? people could be smelling that.
