I'm working on an order for summer scents and would appreciate any input on Apple and/or Pear scents. What are thoughts on Mac Apple and Pear Glace? Any other recommendations for good summer smells?

Anyone tried Night Blooming Jasmine? Can't decide whether to order TP's or a whole bag since I've never tried it (although I do love any true Jasmine scent).

I want to thank all the Tartettes for your daily postings and banter. I visit daily and always leave this thread smiling.

Forgot to ask about Peach scents too. Tried Georgia Peach and liked it, but wouldn't mind something with a stronger overall scent - but definitely peach. Any comments on Coconut Milk and Peaches or Ginger Peach?

CM&P is what I call a bedroom scent....very light and good for a smaller area. I tend to like heavier scents for my family room/kitchen area since it is a bigger area to fill.

Citrus - I am not a big floral fan but I do love Night Blooming Jasmine. I highly recommend it!

Citrus, I love coconut milk and peaches! It starts out smelling like coconut, and eventually it evolves into a peach fragrance. If you also like coconut, go for it - if you're looking more for the peach, you might want to pass or try a TP first.

Oh my...I just went to SJ site and there are several back that were sold out. Well, I was trying to go at least a month before I ordered again but guess I'll be putting in another order today.

CC Gal - put me down as another vote for NBJ ... like Bonza, I am not a big floral fan either, but that is one of my favorites!

Also, Coconut Milk and Peaches is my favorite peach scent - light, not overpowering. It has been a long while since I tried Ginger Peach, but I remember liking it, though I seem to think it was a much stronger fruit. CM&P is more subtle.

I have only gotten a cold whiff of Mac Apple, but it is a very authentic apple scent and I think it will be a winner!

I have not tried Pear Glace, but I've tried Lime & Basil, which I find to be the perfect lime scent. Some limes are too 'limey' or candy lime to me. The Lime & Basil was to me a true fresh lime scent.

Crz - I love the Lemon Meringue!

CC Gal, have you smelled the Yankee Candle Macintosh Apple? Mac Apple (on cold sniff) smells the same to me. .. OK.. yes, "authentic" is a great description!!

Pear Glace is kind of mild. I much prefer Pear Berry, for one example. I'm a fan of Judy's Japanese Pear & Ginseng as well.

Never have smelled NBJ.

ROFL - I just realized that I was comparing pears to lime - boy, too much running around today, obviously!

Coconut Pear is my favorite Pear scent, though it is not a pure pear scent, and definitely not for someone who does not like coconut scents. It is very much a tropical scent, and is a sister scent to Cabana boy.

Coconut Pear was not for me, so I'm guessing you like that one if you like Coconut..

I do like coconut in my tarts and love Coconut Pear.

LOL - yes, Sea - I got a Marshmallow Peeps in my last sampler but have not tried it yet. Precious is waiting for it... :-)

I heard on the grapevine that Precious has been lobbying with Alyce to get her to create a Fresh Turkey Tart.

I should be sleeping but I couldn't go to bed without placing my order. Thanks for all the information and suggestions.
I decided on:
Bags of Night Blooming Jasmine, Mac Apple and a Sampler Bag
Tarty Parts of Fruit Sorbet, Pear Berry, Vannille Cannelle and Peach Magnolia Raspberry to experiment with.

Nice looking Spring order there, CC Gal! Placing a tart order does wonders for a restful sleep. lol

LOL Sea!

Bonza - Had we not seen the Peeps carnage before, that could be such an innocent photo of Precious.

Vanille Banane on the warmer - it's so nice!

Sea - I am in big trouble if those Fresh Turkey Tarts hit the market! LOL

Julip - the only true innocent photos of Precious are when she's asleep.

Bonza- you can't go wrong with Vanille Banane. So yummy. Man, Precious would go nuts for FT tarts. Can you imagine? She'd be looking all around going, "Where the hell is the damn turkey?"

Crz- lemon meringue is my absolute favorite lemon scent that Alyce has:-)


CCgal- sounds like you've got a nice order in. I really love NBJ and Mac Apple. And you can never go wrong with a sampler bag. I'll be curious to hear your opinion on the fruit sorbet. The description sounds intriguing.

And I forgot to say: CCgal - you've put together the perfect Spring/Summer order!

And Julip - lol @ "Placing a tart order does wonders for a restful sleep." Bye, bye Tart Anxiety... lmao

Jinksy - if only Precious would just be looking for the FT tart... I'm afraid she'd be howling at the moon!

You know what Precious is thinking in that picture!

"Off with her HEAD!" "Let them eat CAKE; I have my peeps".

Citrus, sounds like a great order to me! I just put Pear Berry back on the warmer!

I am so tempted by the NBJ but keep wondering if I'd sneeze..

What is the difference between Vanille Banane and Vannille Cannelle?

I can hardly believe that I've already received a tracking number for my order. What great service. I'm starting my curing countdown. Woo Hoo!!!

WOW CCgal...that is really quick. Mine are usually shipped in 6 days and then 2-3 for them to get to me. Didn't you just place that order yesterday?
