That actually sounds like an interesting idea. I have put a drop or three purposefully on a paper towel and left it on the desk just so it "freshens" the work space though. The only worry I'd have is with staining.
There's all kinds of things you can do with DIY Flavorings.
I put Pizza Flavor into Homemade Bread and it was Very Good.
I then tried putting it in some Cookies for a Back To School Night event. It was Terrible. I mean Bad. They Never Invited me back Again.
So I guess it Worked.
