Costa, it could be either reason.. I know when I had the really bad cold none of the tarts smelled good to me.. I had to let the warmer remain unlit.. so sad..

Sea - considering what you went through with your sniffer when you were sick, I'm thinking Costa would be wasting tarts to start mixing now.

Costa, do you have anything mild or comforting, like Waffle Cone or a somewhat bland low-key bakery scent? Or a vanilla? Those might work better for you right now. But I do remember that Sea had to back away from her warmer...

Julip - I had two great days with Blackberry Sage - I was sure reminded why it became one of my very first favorites! I bet those body products are wonderful.

I just put on Coconut Cream Pie and I think I'm in love. I hate to speak to soon in case it turns on me, but so far - wonderful!

Yeah, I've got a vanilla something that Sea enabled me with. And the cinnibun one, and something else that's bakery like.

Lime blossum was definitely NOT comforting! Kinda gave me a headache. My poor sinuses! :-)

I'll try one of the ones Sea enabled me with tomorrow. I'm gonna head for bed here soonish. See if I can't kick this stoopid thing and soon!

Mmm...Bonza - I have to try the Coconut Cream Pie! Is it light? It sounds like it would be a good mixer too. I was imagining a possible combo with Coconut Cream Pie and Blackberry Sage boldtyped together...

Julip - CCP doesn't seem to be too light - I'd say it's a medium throw. It would be a great mixer with all kinds of things. Hmmmm, maybe a possible great combo w/ BS.

RMAO! I bet it was a Vaniglia del Mad that someone recently said smelled like B.O. that I gave to you, Costa. Honestly, I hadn't tried it myself.

I've STILL got that one lonely WCMNC going and on the other warmer downstairs, Anita's Vanilla Bean Noel.

CCP sounds like it is worthy of a sniff or more..}

By the way, best not to order for a few days, until Alyce and Kayla get moved, settled and have internet access again:

Hi ladies, I have to close again I am moving this weekend and I am about to lose my DSL service here any minute now, I can still run to my neighbors and check my email but please try not to place orders I am afraid I will lose them in the move.

Good morning, Tartettes!

This morning I started a Vaniglia del Madagascar, and I am reminded again that it is a uniquely beautiful vanilla. It's not a bakery vanilla to me - it's more a floral without being a floral, if that makes sense. It has a definite vanilla scent but with a bit of musk. I love it and I normally can't take musky scents! It's a terrific one in the body products as well.

I love that we all have different sniffers - if we all liked the same scents, we would have to spend a fortune to stock up on them before they all sell out! Not that this situation hasn't arisen for me on some scents. lmao. It's why I always like to include a sampler in every one of my orders - there have been times I've heard less than rave reviews across the board for a scent, then find it in a sampler, get a sniff, and find that I really like it. Lime Blossom is another winner on my list. On the other hand, some scents consistently get rave reviews that I couldn't get off the warmer fast enough when I tried them lol.

I think VDM, Tampico Vanilla, and Vanille Cannelle have to be my favorite vanilla scents.

Julip, you are so right about sniffers...Vanilla and musk are at the bottom of my list for fav scents. That's probably why I didn't care for the VDM.
Now CCP sounds like one I would like..any coconut smell reminds me of lounging on a cruise ship, in the warm Caribbean, with drink in hand...

Take care Costa....hope you feel better soon.

Crz - SJ scents have been known to send people to the grocery store in search of the duped scents...please keep us updated when you get a sniff of CCP to let us know if you booked your Caribbean cruise! lol

So I'm doing sniffer research this morning...

I just looked up the description for Vaniglia del Madagascar, and it includes vanilla orchid and amber. It's so interesting but I guess that's what gives it the "yummy factor" for me.

Some of the other vanillas with extras are too spicy for me, such as Vanille Canelle. But if you are a lover of cinnamon and brown sugar, you will love that vanilla. It's a Julip "keeper"

Crz - I'm with you on the Caribbean cruise scents. You might like Coconut Pear. Most of the coconut scents are my hands-down favorites! :-)

Ok, I may be really dumb, but what does "amber" smell like? Is that a flower? I'm feeling a bit of DUH coming my way. LOL

As far as I know, Amber is a rock (and a color)...

I have Googled the following:

"Amber has a light musky scent, which recalls the sensuous atmosphere of the Orient."

Gotta love Google!

Bonza - love the "Julip 'keeper'". I adopt any and all cinnamon scents that no one wants.

OOps....I ordered a sampler this morning (I needed a quick fix), before I read Seamonkey's post....SJ's website didn't say anything about being closed...

I like cinnamon scents too....I'm burning Cinnamon Stick this morning.
Bonza, thanks for the decription on the VC...I might like it if it has a cinnamon in it.

OK, how sad is this? I have place 3 orders in the last week, just so I have staggered deliveries.

Hi, my name is Debbie and I'm a tartaholic.

Hee hee Crz - Good going on the staggered tart orders! I don't think even I've ever placed 3 shopping cart orders in one week! I think my personal record is 2.. Tartaholic, I think you will be needing that Tart Cart soon.

And I wouldn't worry about the order, especially since it is just a sampler. A large percentage of Alyce's customers frequent the Delphi forum, so I am sure she intended to at least slow down the orders.

If you like cinnamon scents, be sure to give Cini Buns a try sometime. That is one of my top 5 bakery scents. I like to mix it with Baked Apples to make Apple Fritters.

And thanks, Sea, for passing along the post here!

Amber is a unique scent. It's right up there with sandalwood, frankincense, and myrhh -- a bit oriental, a bit spicy. It can be ovverpowering, but it's one of my all time favorite scents when I'm not doing florals.

I'm so sick right now, that I think I could be using the Lime Blossum and wouldn't even notice it! I can't wait till I can breathe again!

If it IS the vanilla madgadawhatever that Sea enabled me with that has an amber undertone, I'll let y'all know if that's what I've been begging Alyce to get. I think she's gonna end up with an amber with vanilla undertones, though.

Thanks for the info on "amber." I was feeling sort of clueless about it! LOL I have a question as to using silicups. Do you wash them after having a scent in them so that the next one won't have "traces" of the scent. I'm thinking it would hold some of the scent once used and wondered if it would mess up the scent of a new one which isn't at all like the one just used.????

Hey Watching! I wash 'em. But I keep the same type of scent in the three cups I use. BTW, I didn't get any blue cups. Do you want a clear (white) one instead?

Sure, that would be great Costa, although I just got a red and blue one in the mail from Cathie who was a super generous enabler, so if you'd rather keep it for yourself, that's fine, too! It's really nice to be able to have one ready to go in another cup!! I didn't want to ruin any of the scents by mixing them up!

Thanks for being so nice! :-) I hope you feel better soon, Costa!

Cathie - Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I hope you move went well! Hope to hear your enjoying your new home! Yay!
