Julip- Oh yes, honeysuckle vine, I do remember someone saying that now. I can see that too. But beach seems to have a good amount of jasmine in it and the scent really comes through perfectly. I will be buying a tp of it on my next order.

Sea- I'm so glad you enabled me with HV. It's one of my new favs and I'm not a huge floral fan. But lately it seems to be changing. Go figure.

Of course, Sea - the lovely enable is always appreciated! I did mix my last chunk of HV with one of the vanillas and it was fantastic. The saga of the sniffers, it will always be interesting.

I have put on one of my favorite original staples: Vanilla Hazelnut Swirl.

I just tried to find WCMNC on Soyful and couldn't....is it gone already? I also could have just missed it.

Sea - I haven't tried that one, but it sounds like it has a lot of potential! . And once again, thank you for all the HV samples - that was a real luck out for all of us for you to get that as your first freebie bag.

Jinksy and Bonza - as the NBJ warmed more on day 2, it really did remind me a lot of HV, so I think HV, NBJ, and Beach are all siblings!

Actually, it was my second freebie.. first was ARRDC..

Of the three, if you had to choose only one, which sibling would you choose?

Can I vote?

Of the three, my sniffer votes for Beach. But we might all be different, eh?

Hmm. What would I choose? Probably NBJ but Beach is just as wonderful. That's a tough one. I do know the HV would come in third in the sibling line-up for me:-) Hope that helps!

I just want to lay down and cry when you guys talk about all these wonderful scents that you love and then when us newbies go to order them in a PT, they aren't available anymore....whaaaaa!
LOL!!

I did just place another order though and included a PT in Beach.
After I build up some inventory, maybe I can start trading. I did order a lot of resealable poly bags (3x5's), so I can share those too if anybody needs any. Yeah, right, like you guys aren't already totally stocked on everything.

I think my ranking of the above scents would be Beach, NBJ, then HV. NBJ and HV are so close on day 2/3 to my nose, but NBJ is more mild and HV is more robust. All great scents!

Crz - that the scents come back in stock so you can try them!

Crz - NBJ has been in "sold out" status since I started paying attention to the SJ site, specifically looking for scents my DH might like. I have gotten my samples of that one by purchasing small lots of tarts from people on the Delphi boards when they offered it for sale.

If you haven't looked there, you should really consider it. You don't have to worry about having enough to trade if you are willing to make small PayPal purchases when people post lists of tarts they would like to sell. Most ask you to choose a minimum of 5 and the going rate is $1 per tart, shipped.

This is not the tarts you guys are talking about but there are wonderful soy candles that come in delicious fragrances like oatmeal raisin cookies and apple cinnamon and southern pecan pie, etc. They are Kathy Ireland/Hanna brand candles and they are great. Smell great and good price and made from soy. They are available at Walgreens for sure and may be available at other stores also. Just a heads up. I love them. Oh, and they come in neat containers that look just like parmesan cheese glasses with the stainless steel top that has holes in it. So you can use them for that after the wax is all gone.

Crz- thanks for the offer to share bags but I just ordered a ton of 3x5's. And I also have plenty of 3x3's. Not to mention all the 4x8 and 6x9 bubble mailers. lmao. I highly recommend getting a tp of Beach on your next order. I do believe it's in stock and it's a great combo of HV and NBJ. I did happen to hear from Alyce that in the next few weeks she'll be restocking a lot of her scents again. So, that's good news for you and for us.

Sea- I recently tried chocolate chip cookie and really liked how buttery it was. I was also happy to find that it wasn't really chocolatey. I'm not sure how the CC cookie dough would be and I haven't heard much but it sounds yummy.

Julip- I agree completely about HV being more robust, NBJ being a little milder:-)

Twinkie- thanks for that info! That scents sound nice and the containers they come in sound adorable:-)

Twinkie - I saw those Katharine Ireland tarts in JoAnn's when I was there. I had some in my hands, but put them back when I was disciplining myself about spending. :-)

Bonza...yummy!

I set a lady I work with up with all the fixins and gave her VHS that I got in my sampler....she loved it. She placed an order for some PT's and forgot to add a sampler....I told her several times not to forget to order a sampler on every order (she still forgot)...I learned that from the best....hehehe

Ahhhh, Crz - excellent "fixin" for your co-worker! Sampler bags are the greatest for the tryouts, enabling and trades.

You have thoroughly absorbed your training, Young Grasshopper!

The initiation ceremony, just to make it official...



Bwa ha ha!

Bonza - great smellin' house you have there! I have been concentrating so much on the new smellies, I have been neglecting the tried and true favorites. Good idea!

Tomorrow will be the Changing of the Tarts...I think Blackberry Sage just might make the cut! It's been awhile since I warmed one of those, although I get to enjoy the scent almost every day in the body products.

Lime blossum, one of the tarty parts I got? Um, not so much. Either cause I'm sick, or cause it's only been cured for a coupla weeks, or, I dunno. I melted it, and ended up turning off the warmer before it completely melted. Just a little tarty part, too! I'm thinking of mixing it with citrus melange. Anyone have any other ideas of what to mix it with? It was almost pee-yew, yesterday!
