Hey guys, how long do adjuncts such as Vanilla Beans/Toasted Coconut/etc, take to fade?

I've read that the dominant flavor can fall off pretty quickly, but i'm curious what the time frame is for such. Can anyone who made a beer with secondary adjunct additives tell me at what point the adjunct tasted strong and how long it took for it to taste more subtle?
 
It depends a LOT on what the adjunct is. I've had some brews with excess cinnamon that took forever to fade, but had some other things with spruce that faded reasonably quickly until they were masked by other flavors.

Let's say specifically Vanilla beans for this case.
