FaithfulScenter Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 DH and I were talking about our favorite scents, not recent things or candles, but things from our life that just really take us back. He tells me his favorite smell in the whole world is cherry pipe tobacco because his Popaw smoked a pipe, and it reminded him of being little and going to play at his grandparents house. I would love to dupe this scent for him. Does anyone know of an FO or formulation for this?? TIA!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OldGlory Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I have used Santa's Pipe at WSP with good results in soy wax. It's got that slightly sweet and fruity overtone that reminds me of a pipe tobacco called Early Darkness. There was a tobacco shop in the mall where I worked 35 years ago and I would visit it just to smell this pipe tobacco.While we're on the subject, I'd like to find a tobacco that doesn't have the sweet smell with it. Anyone with ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonshine Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I am not great at mixing but the first thing that came to my mind.... and I could be way off- is....Autumn Lodge is one of my all time favorite scents and I can really pick up the pipe tobacco in it- I use wspmaybe mixing in a cherry in small amounts would make a similiar scent to what your looking for- I have never smelled cherry pipe tobacco but regular pipes I have and autumn lodge definitely has those notes in it- I have CS cherry but its a strong cherry like a cough drop and not sure if cherry tobacco is a sweet soft cherry or more harsh....I have a huge bottle if you would like me to send you a sample- it is expensive at wsp but soooo worth it and the closest to Yank I can find that actually throws scent as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudMarineMom Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Look at Pipe Smoke from Aroma Haven. It reminds me going into a pipe shop and smelling the sweet tobacco. It's very nice. Don't know if there is enough Cherry, I can smell a little, so you might want to add a bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megandgarr Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I just got an email from southern garden scents and they just released a new oil; pops pipe - the description included cherry and vanilla. I have a sample of grandpas pipe but I am at work now and can not remember where I got it from. Maybe the fragrance oil finder website might have a few listed.

FaithfulScenter Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 Thanks for all the suggestions, I saw on the Bittercreek website the have a suggestion for grandpas pipe that is their cherry and tobacco mixed, I think I will order 1 ouncers of each, and some other things to make it worth the shipping!! I read a review on another website that had a grandpas pipe FO that it was way off, more like a cough syrup, so I'm really hoping that doesn't happen!!

ChrisR Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Sweetcakes Santa's Pipe is the best cherry tobacco FO's and I've tried them all over the years. I like a touch more cherry, so I add a bit more. It makes a great CP soap also!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithfulScenter Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 Thank you!! I'll get Sweetcakes Santa's Pipe, and the others from BCN, and see what I can come up with!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudMarineMom Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 ChrisR, have you tried the Pipe Smoke from AH? I think they came out with that a few months ago. Wondering how it compares to Sweetcakes.People actually like/buy soap that smells like sweet tobacco? I was unsure about trying to soap the one from AH. I like it but it seemed like a bit of a strange scent for soap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Sorry Proud I've never tried the Pipe Smoke. I've used Santa's Pipe for years in candles & soap and it's a great seller, especially with the guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
