Bonza - that is so funny - I have NBJ on as well! It is interesting how all of our noses detect different notes in every scent. Good thing, because otherwise all the same scents would be sold out all the time. lol

Costa - sorry to hear NBJ does not work for you! I like Honeysuckle Vine too, but alas, I have none left. The funny thing is that to me NBJ and HSV are very much alike.

LOL. That's too funny. I finally threw out the half a tart I'd been trying the last few days, and stuck on a plumeria candle (from another vendor). I just HAD to get rid of that smell from NBJ!!! (It was too strong even, sitting cold in a sili-cup!)

Oh well. Maybe when it's fully cured I'll like it better. And if not, and if y'all run out of your own stashes of NBJ, mebbe we can trade something else. (ANYTHING else! <wink>)

CCGal kindly traded with me and I got a NBJ tart and I've been afraid to throw it on the warmer so far because it is VERY strong and theoretically barely cured

So curing it for a long time will help?

My guess is NO.. Some scents start out quite weak and they mature with time..

I could be wrong but so far if mine start out strong and sneeze-worthy, that doesn't change.

I got a Coffeebean one in my last grab-bag and WHOA! Knocked me DOWN. I don't drink coffee, but this is just too strong.

LOL Sea. That's what the NBJ did to me when I opened the bag. And I'm not scent sensitive either!

Oh well... someone somewhere will want 'em.

Unfortunately, no one in my family likes florals as much as I do. Oh, yeah... I enabled my mom and my dad's wife. For mother's day. With the electric candle warmers (like the one you got me, Sea), and sili-cups, and some TPs of scents I thought they'd like. They both love 'em! :-)

I wonder if Sno Balls are cousins of Peeps?

Hope everyone had a terrific Memorial Day weekend!

I have Birthday Cake on today. It seemed like it would be too sweet for me on Day One, but Day Two it has mellowed into a delicious and terrific scent!

What day is it today?

Yesterday was Blackberry Musk day - it's really great. The musk did get a little strong for me toward the end of the day and I had to turn it off for a while, but it's a nice one!

Well, how could I resist with 2 great reviews? I popped in both a Blackberry Musk in the far warmer, and Ohh La La in the close one. I was pleasantly surprised to find that Ohh La La was not overpowering at all even though it had quite a cold throw. Love it! Really nice pleasant, fruity scent. Also really love Blackberry Musk - that one is really strong, as I can smell it from the next room. 2 winners!

I have TPs of Ohh La La on the way (order shipped today!) and something tells me I should have gotten the tarts instead of TPs...

I used my 4-month-cured Coconut Milk & Peaches and was pleasantly surprised that allowing it to cure longer made it a much better scent for me. Now I have to go back and find some of my other so-so ones and give them another shot.

I had a "return" of a gifted tart today, lol. I decided the Coffee Bean ones were just too strong for me (and I even love the smell of good coffee!) and given all of mine away. One of my giftees gave me a Coffee Bean back today, said she couldn't even stand it in her house. I added a Vanilla Hazelnut to it and warmed it in the kitchen today to get rid of it once and for all!!!

LMAO Cathie - I can't believe you received a returned tart! Coffee Bean is really strong, I agree. I like it to mix with vanillas, though, as you have done. I only need to use a 1/4 to a whole tart ratio, usually. I have to segregate them from the others since it makes everything smell like coffee!

So glad to hear that your longer cured CM&P smelled better to you! They really do benefit from a long cure time, and I have found that I still get really good scent from tarts that are over 1 year old.

Actually I have considered returning my Coffee Bean tart to Alyce! It came in a Sampler Pack.

And it is STRONG!!! (I don't even drink coffee )

However, I wouldn't send one back to a benefactor, just pass it along..

I made a small order last night (had to tell myself that supersaver or not I can't always just fill up a box.

So, just four bags:

Pear Berry (yes, a second bag for me!)
Chocolate Orange
Ohh la la
Tomato (which I've been waiting for all along and I understand smells more like tomato plants)
