Only takes a drop or two and really helps. I didn't do that and after curing for almost a week, my daughter's bed still smells 'painty' so I'm spraying vanilla/lavender in her room...we'd had unusually high humidity and rain here in the Rocky Mountains (everything is really green but I'm TIRED of rain and humidity--one reason we didn't move BACK to TX) Linda, I've not done it in a long time, but yes, you can add vanilla to the paint.
