Adding Scent/Taste to already cured bud

Alright so I've searched for someone who has tried this, and obviously came across tons of information about ways to effect the taste/smell of pot just before harvest or while curing, but nothing quite the same as what I am currently trying...
 
To keep this brief (ish), I have a mason jar that I poured some vanilla extract into, then used some tape and cheese cloth to suspend my cured pot above the vanilla extract. I sealed the jar and put it in my usual storage place. I plan on leaving it there for a week before opening the jar and smoking some of the pot to see if any of the flavor has transferred over. To avoid imagining the taste, I've also kept some of the same stash in a clean jar to act as a control, and will be getting a friend to taste some from both jars without telling him what I added to the second jar.
 
Has anyone tried this method before? I feel confident something like this could work, although vanilla extract may not be the best thing to try with. Also I'm not sure on what a good time frame would be, a week was just a random duration I decided it may be overkill or not even close to enough time. If this doesn't work I will try for a month (I have enough extra laying around that I won't miss it). If it does work, I'll reduce the time to see how long is really necessary.
 
Also just before anybody starts with "pot tastes great on its own, blah blah blah"... I completely agree, but when I order pizza, I don't get the same toppings every time. Variety is a great thing.

 

 
I'm trying to avoid actually burning the added stuff, I'm sure some things are fine but I imagine vanilla extract probably has a whole bunch of preservatives and crap that I'd rather not burn and inhale. If this works well I am going to have a field day with different flavor combinations, I reallllly hope it makes a noticeable change in the flavor.

 

Thanks for the tip, I may have to pick some of that up after I'm done experimenting with the vanilla.

 

 
Its not total crap, but it definitely isn't anything special. I just want to experiment and have access to enough that I don't care if I screw it up.
 
I don't get the whole "why would you want to distract away from the taste/smell" question. It just seems so close minded to me. When was the last time you went to a restaurant and the menu just said "steak", no side dishes, no seasoning, no drink, just steak. Or the last time you needed to paint a room and you thought, well I like blue, so lets go blue walls, blue floor, blue furniture, blue lights... I guess my point is combining things often makes something much better than one thing on its own, not always, but you don't really know until you try. Not to mention there are so many different strains of pot that its ridiculous to say that every one tastes perfect and wouldn't benefit from some sort of additive. That's like saying every person is beautiful in their own way, sure I guess, but we all know that some women look a lot better with make-up on, and there are a lot of guys out there that better find a high paying job or at least hit the gym.

 

Alright so just an update in case anybody is wondering:
 
I ended up leaving the jar sealed for a few days longer than planned. I've been really busy lately and just figured more time would mean better chances of an actual result.
 
I finally opened the jar this morning, and ran into a problem I'm really surprised I didn't anticipate. All the extract evaporated and the pot is super damp now. This stuff was really dry at when I started this and now its like I just cut it off a plant. I'm going to let it dry out slowly until I try smoking any. I'm fairly concerned about mold at this point but I'll let it dry out for a while and hopefully I won't find any mold on it later.
 
Mold concerns aside, I think there is a good chance this method actually worked. I can easily smell the vanilla in any piece I take out of the jar so hopefully that isn't completely lost as it dries out. Only time will tell I guess. 

 

Well it doesn't seem like many people were curious about this, but just for the sake of closure, it somewhat worked.
 
After drying out the buds they retained the vanilla smell and when smoked I could get a slight hint of vanilla but not that significant.
 
I got my friend to do a comparison test and I didn't tell him that taste was the difference he was supposed to compare, I just said try this and compare it to this. He said they tasted a little different so I then told him that they were actually from the same source and I just added some flavor to some and asked him to guess what I added. He wasn't able to pin point the flavor, just that it was a little sweeter.
