Vanilla extract is made with alcohol so it would probably seize your soap.
I had some success with using vanilla extract, it didn't seize... but something made the soap smell like faux cherry. I am not sure if it's a combo of spices, the chai tea fo or the vanilla. Get this, it didn't turn dark brown either! ha
It can be used, but I would keep both eyes on it.

I too have used Van. xtrct with some success. I used it in 2 separate batches and neither one turned out with any scent. I used it with coconut cream and you can't smell either. It didn't turn it brown tho and it didn't seize. I have two super mild unscented bars! ;0)
To answer your question, no, you probably won't get any scent if you used it in direct place of FO, like I did. ;0)

Wonder if you cut open a vanilla bean and used that if the smell would make it thru the sap process?

If you try an infusion of oil make sure that you split the bean to give you as much surface as possible. I was thinking about spliting the bean and scraping out the seeds and using them in some soap. I just don't know if the smell will make thru sap.
