neoncas Report post Posted December 11, 2011 (edited) Hello, I am hoping there are other BPAL fans out there that use and love the soap "Flame" by Primal Elements? I adore this soap and have for years. It is a comforting and warm scent that I would love to find in a BPAL oil. The scents listed for Flames soap: Fresh tobacco leaf and smokey vanilla yummmmm! Can anyone direct me to a BPAL oil that smell just like FLAMES, with no additional scent added (ie rose, teak). Just good ol' fresh tobacco leaf (I think pipe tobacco not cigarette, and smokey vanilla.) *note, they have a candle "flames" but in that scent they added cherry...and they ruined my comfort scent. The soap scent still has only the tobacco and smokey vanilla, thank goodness Thanks for any input........Keeping my fingers crossed... Edited December 11, 2011 by neoncas Share this post Link to post
Floria Report post Posted December 12, 2011 There are several blends that are tobacco + vanilla + other things, but I don't think there's anything in the GC or current limited additions that's just tobacco and vanilla. BPAL's house style leans toward more complex blends, although there are exceptions - but Perversion from the Ars Amatoria section was mostly nice sweet pipe tobacco on me, and there's a vanilla element from the tonka.

neoncas Report post Posted December 12, 2011 You know Perversion has been on my "to try imp list" and I just haven't gotten there yet. Time to search one out to see if it will fit. Appreciate your input! Share this post Link to post
parrot_suspect Report post Posted December 13, 2011 You could also try searching swaps for Smoky Moon. That definitely has a tobacco leaf note. Share this post Link to post
Katherynne Report post Posted December 13, 2011 Try Perversion, that's a good suggestion. It's fairly similar to the Flames soap, I think. Share this post Link to post
neoncas Report post Posted January 1, 2012 ooooooooooh, drools...... Smoky Moon. It just sounds awesome, thanks parrot_suspect! Zombi, I am still working on getting Perversion and I can't wait. It has moved from my "to try" to "must have" list. For those that haven't tried Flames soap, a kind and generous BPAL friend passed on a sample of Tom Fords Private Blend Tobacco Vanille to me. That is the smell!! Share this post Link to post
neoncas Report post Posted January 14, 2012 Well, I finally got to try Perversion.....we have a winner!! That is the comforting scent of flames, yet mellow and calm. Thank you for the suggestions! Share this post Link to post
