Mama and Jinsky - you are making it harder and harder for me to hold off on ordering, even when I have tarts out the wazoo! Now I am getting sell-out anxiety on the pumpkin muffins. lol

Jinksy - LMAO what a festive kitchen counter! The rawhide bone accent is just the right touch.

In honor of Fresh Baked Cookies finally back in stock at Soyful-Joys, I have taken one out of the vault and fired up the burner! Mmmmmmmmm....

I also see a lot of other great sounding new scents and old favorites on the list. Red Apples sounds really nice!

Good morning, Tartettes! I still have Fresh Baked Cookies going, and yesterday I started a Strawberry Shortcake in another warmer. It smells sooo good in here. DH wanted to know where the cookies were, knowing full well it was a tart. He is trying to enforce a rule that I have to make cookies every time I warm a FBC tart. Poor guy. LOL

I have a record four burners going tonight to counteract the smell of liquid fertilizer that was applied to trees all around our yard today. Healthy trees, but yikes!

Waffle Cone, Birthday Cake, Blue Raspberry Shaved Ice and Ooh La La are making our evening very pleasant. Thank goodness for Soyful-Joys!

do you guys have any recommendations for me? I loved blackberry sage but hated banana bread.

It was my first order so i went from suggestions. I figured you pros would know what scents would be good for me, considering what i liked and dont

Haha, Bonza - no real cookies have been baked yet!

Blech - the tree food smell doe not sound very pleasant! Your selection of tarts to rid yourself of the smell sure sounds yummy!

Today I have Cinnamon Frosting and Vanilla Hazelnut Swirl going - delicious.

Hey, Fab!

Blackberry Sage is a favorite of mine too! What other scents have you tried that you liked/disliked? I went through the in-stock scents and made up a list - though you may find some of these real stinkers since I like BNB. lol :-). I limited (ha!) to scents that I know others have really liked too:

Bakery:
Cinnamon Frosting
Lisa's Raspberry Zinger (similar to Boysenberry Butter Cookies)
Berry Brulee
Boysenberry Butter Cookies (similar to Lisa's Raspberry Zinger)
Waffle Cone (a favorite bakery - great mixer)

Fruit:
Fruit Slices (like grapefruit)
Lemon Starburst
Cranberry Orange Spice
Vineyard (very grape)
Strawberry Preserves (great mixer with bakery scents)
Coconut Pear (similar to Cabana Boy, below)

Other:
Tampico Vanilla
Creamy Peppermint
Cinnamon Sticks
Burning Love (very spicy - like red hot candies, but men tend to like this one)

Designer:
Apple Jack & Peel
Vanille Cannelle
Vanille Banane
Marshmallow Peeps (even better in body products)
Hawaiian Ginger

Seasonal:
Lime & Basil (to me, the perfect lime scent)
Where's My Cabana Boy (similar to Coconut Pear)
Fresh Baked Cookies (a favorite bakery - great mixer)

If you don't like spicy scents, there are several in there that you will definitely want to stay away from! Maybe because the cold weather is here, but I would highly recommmend the last 4 Bakery scents I listed.

I am sure more Tartettes will jump in with their lists, too! Hope that helps a bit. :-)

Pear Berry and Ooh La La and I also like Judy's Japanese Pear and Ginseng but I suspect the Pear Berry can fill that and be more widely liked.

And of course Boysenberry Butter Cookie, Berry Brulee, Fresh Baked Cookies.

I just turned on the burner for the first time in weeks. Has Ooh La La, still on my first one..

ty, guys! Julip what a great list!

I loved the blackberry sage, liked the strawberry preserves, disliked the vanilla hazelnut swirl and hated the banana nut bread...The last two gave me a headache.

does that tell you where my tastes lie at all? lol

LOL Fab - believe it or not, that does help! It sounds like you might like more 'syrupy' fruit and scents without what might have a slight bitter background. I will stick with my previous suggestion of trying one of the bakery fruits.

I also think you might like Waffle Cone more than Fresh Baked Cookies - it is slightly sweeter without being too sweet. It's also a good one to mix with the fruit. If you still have any Strawberry Preserves or other fruit scents you were so-so on, try it mixed with a plain bakery - very nice results! :-)

YW! I sure hope I am not leading you astray right down the path to more stinkeroos lol. And Alyce was out of the Tarty Parts supplies for awhile, but I think she has them back in stock - so don't forget to go for those if you don't want to get stuck with a whole bag. :-)

Sea was the one that got me hooked on the Berry Brulee and Lisa's Raspberry Zinger!

Mama - every mention you make of those new scents is making me weaker and weaker! LOL

Creamy Peppermint and Cinnamon Stick made me sneeze like crazy and I don't think I'm the only one with that reaction.

Hello everyone! I started warming tarts again last week as well. I guess it's not a summer thing (for me anyway). I like to have a tart warming before I go to sleep, but have found that the sweet smells do not go over very well for that purpose. So I've gone back to my old realiable...Creamy Peppermint. I love it and, if I had to choose, it's probably my favorite. It's fun to try different scents again. It's almost like they are brand new. Some of them are, actually! It sounds like Pumpkin Muffins is a hit. Any others?

It's great to be back! I look forward to reading more tart reviews and suggestions!

Nice to see you, Paj! Just like getting back in the routine of warming tarts, I have to get back in the habit of checking in here. :-) How is that kitty of yours? CP is one of my all-time faves too - especially in the winter. Do you have an order brewing?

Yesterday I switched out to Marshmallow Peeps. It starts out great, but I like it even better when more of the sweetness has burned off and it is just sugary goodness! I don't smell the Strawberry Shortcake anymore, so I think it is time to change out another tart. :-)

I tried an Island Fresh Gain yesterday too - it started out mild and nice, but it later smelled like the other laundry ones - too powdery for me. Still, not as overwhelming as ones I've tried in the past. Maybe I'll try it again another time with just half.

Hey Juli! I have enough tarts to last me for a while, but you know how that goes. I shouldn't place an order, but I am getting low on CP...

Thanks for the info on some tarts. I haven't tried Marshmallow Peeps. It sounded too sweet, even for me! It's time to start experimenting again.

Katze is doing great! Thanks for asking. If all goes well (long story), she will be getting a buddy tomorrow! A friend of mine has a niece who has 3 month old kittens. I have my eye on one of them, a male I plan to name Neko! Katze is a very sweet cat. I hope she takes well to a little one.

Ha - don't I know it about too many tarts! But, it is hard not to throw a 'few' more in the basket when you need a refill on a favorite.

Good luck with your new kitty adoption! I hope everything goes smoothly. Neko and Katze sound like a great pair! I am sure they will be best buddies - if not in the first day, I am sure in a few days. You've seen pics of my snuggly kits, right? DC, the older one, would not stop hissing at Bonzai for 2-3 days, and then suddenly they were inseparable. :-)

Yesterday I put on Waffle Cone, today I put on Parthenon (a great black licorice smell, but I think will be gone from the store soon), and I still have Marshmallow Peeps going. Smells great in here!

Fun! I should have thought of that for Halloween - I never did burn my one little sample. How is it? :-)

Looks like Alyce has unveiled some new (and old favorite) holiday scents!

French Nougat

Totally delish! This fragrance is enhanced by candied orange, grilled pistachios , hazelnuts, toasted almonds and drizzled with caramelized honey.

Cinnamon Forest

Imagine walking thru a field full of spruce tree's and cinnamon sticks. This is my favorite holiday scent it's very inviting to your guests.

Pink Spruce

Dare to be different? I have to give credit to my ex-husband on this one, I went to his house and when I walked in I was blown away by how good it smelled. A unique blend of pine, caramel, musk, white sugar and cotton candy...sounds icky right? It's not, it's a unique sweet scent with a pine twist so if you don't like sweet stay away from this one. You like unique? then this is for you.

Christmas Bazaar

Last year's best seller is back!! A simple blend of cinnamon, nutmeg and clove with a hint of vanilla to round it out.

Autumn Harvest

A warm spicy blend with buttery notes, reminds me of the town harvest celebration.

Frosted Spruce

Imagine a spruce tree being dipped into a huge vat of sweet white and brown sugar and this is what it would smell like. This is an amazing scent that combines sweet with green, do not pass this one up.

Winterberry Rain

A very unique scent, it's a complex scent that's for sure, notes of wood, winterberries and a fresh cold winter rain. This is the answer for people who would like a winter fresh clean smell wafting in their home.

Back in stock

Spiced Apples and Peaches
