Fragrance and flavor materials are sometimes the same--vanillin being a common example. However, some materials can be used in flavors and not in fragrances while others can be used in fragrances but not in flavors. It may seem strange, but some materials that are safe to eat are not safe on the skin. In the other direction, it may seem obvious that it would not be wise to drink Chanel No 5!

Different fragrance materials can be acceptable for different applications
