Cathie - I think Dark Tanning Oil was a scent that never "took off" so Alyce closed it out at some point a while back. I have had some and it's not so great all alone. Try cutting it in half and mixing it with something tropical (fruity or floral tropical), or with a clean scent. Then it smells beachy, if you are into that.

I tried Vineyard yesterday. If you love grape, you will love Vineyard. It's not too sweet - just fun grape.

Bonza - I tried DTO too, and agree with you about the DTO! It left me thinking it needed something, not a great one alone. My favorite Alyce "Beachies" are Beach, Coconut Pear, and Ocean Mist. Have you tried Island Kiss?

Funny you should mention DTO, I tried it once and ended up tossing it after a few hours. I didn't care for it and figured why bother mixing it with ones I like. I agree about beach and ocean mist being nice ones. I have never tried coconut pear but it sounds great. And, I've heard terrific things about island kiss! Has anyone tried it?

Bonza runs to check the description of Island Kiss... with a name like that, it has to be good!

I love Coconut Pear! Today is a bakery day for me. It's cold and wet here, as it should be towards the end of tax season. I am going to be catching up this weekend on much needed sleep! Alyce must wonder if I'm okay, as she hasn't seen an order from me since February! <gasp>

I love Coconut Pear, too. I "borrowed" this from a post at the SJ board - a cute Easter cartoon. Happy Easter, Tarts!

Sea, I'm so glad you asked. RMAO. Jinksy & Julip were giving me a hard time above - yes, I have tried Island Kiss. On paper - it's got a killer scent ingredient list. But for me, it was a bit too robust and hinted at a big perfume finish. I do hope Crz likes hers... maybe she'll let us know soon.

Thanks so much, Bonza! That doesn't sound appealing to me.. Any info on Hydrangea? I suppose not since it is new. I keep flipping on it but the lily of the valley drags me back in.. Maybe TP.

Sea- My order just got here today with the Island Kiss TP. I had expected it 2 days ago since it was shipped the day after my other order and I got that on the 12th. I got a lot of the same scents in my sampler, probably because my orders were so close. So my daughter in San Diego will get a stockpile. Today I wrote the receive dates on my tarts and TP's and organized in baskets. OK, I know, a little anal...LOL!! I will try Island Kiss tomorrow and let you know....cold throw was an OK, not a fall down gotta have it reaction...we'll see whe it's warmed. Oh, and Alyce sent a bonus Lilac TP (now that's a yummy), and a bonus Avalance. Very minty.

Crzn.. I'm a mess, not anal, but with my tarts, I always date each bag upon arrival and update my spreadsheet, so I'm anal in that way. My baskets were more organized at one time.. I have no daughter but soon I go again for a hair appt and not only my hair stylist but one of the guys at the salon will be getting more samples. He loves floral scents so I'll be sharing happily with him.

Sea...I am so glad to know that I am not the only one that keeps a spreadsheet, well, actually a journal. I list my order, date ordered, date mailed and date received. Than I list the tarts and put a + or - depending if I like them or not. Oh, and I put the person's name if I give them away. HAHAHA, we are such silly tartettes. When I take my road trip to San Diego this summer, I hope I can get meet some of my tartette friends along the way and talk about TV and Tarts. LOL! I just started Island Kiss in my bedroom, so I'll be back later to let you know.

I certainly hope you'll go through Orange County (where I am) or we can at least meet up in San Diego with a few others who are there or nearby. We might even be able to enable a few more into Tartland! And I ended up downing AOL because it was acting odd and losing my cart at Soyful Joys.. But building an order is half the fun, I suppose. I had one TP of Coconut Pear, thanks to the TART GURU herself, Julip.. and warmed it last night and must admit it is very light. I'll warm again now but I'm thinking I may not go for a bag of that..

As for my records, they aren't really logical. I log in tarts and tps by numbers and date shipped or labelled. And I log if I get one from someone, who that is, but I haven't logged the ones I sent out (oh, all that lost data!!) And I'm not good about subtracting when I use up a tart or tp.

Update on Island Kiss...I think I like it. I usually will start a tart in me bedroom because it's smaller and I get more of the initial fragrance. I don't find it too strong and I get a hint of a punch smell. I think it's very pleasant. Since we all have different likes and dislikes, I would throw A TP in your order, Sea. Then you can decide. I think I'll be heading down to So. Cal. end of June, beginning July. Ozzie the dog and I hate the 4th of July up here. We don't handle the popping and whizzing for 12 hrs straight. And the occasional M80's that people get illegally from the reservation.

Sounds like coconut pear is a hit with just about everyone. I will definitely be adding that to my next order! Crz- glad to hear you like island kiss. You sure are right about us all having different likes and dislikes! Bonza- lol, love that Easter cartoon you found! Today, on the warmers I have anita vanilla bean noel, lovely, and boysenberry butter cookie. They are all winners for me!

Hmmmm....the more the Island Kiss burned, the more it started to smell like a stale perfume. It's OK, but don't think I'll get a doz.

I enabled the dog breeder yesterday when we went to pick up cash. I noticed that she had a tart warmer and some Yankee Candle tarts. Poor girl, I wonder if she was hooked on tarts already, because she's gonna be hooked now!

I've got Lavender Vanilla warming and waiting for the smell to get over here right now. DS says he finds Boysenberry Butter Cookie also an acceptable scent. He's so funny. LOL I guess I'm the only one who wasn't crazy about the Coconut Pear since all I could smell was coconut and no pear.. hmmm.... eh.. LOL I do like the Coconut Lime Verbena though. I don't really smell much coconut in that one. Strange how my sniffer is!
