GREAT order, Sea - Tomato really is the most refreshing scent to me. . I have to reiterate what a terrific scent Sugared Vanilla Glaze is! To me, it smells just like the sugar getting toasty while fresh cotton candy is being made. I would say that if you really love Banana Nut Bread, chances are you would really like this one, too. It is one of my DH's favorites, after BNB. I believe it is one of Joely's favorites, too!

I like SVG, but Fresh Baked Cookies even more and I can't stop with the Pear Berry lately!

Julip, you're right, I love SVG! I love it and I love BNB and I love them all! I love Jinks for hookin' a sistah up. I love the Strawberry Shortcake & Lemon Starburst blend Bonza. Can't wait to find out if you love Tomato Sea! It's a love type of day!

Sea- I love the Tomato tart! It is so refreshing and earthy. A winner for me. I just ordered some TP's after warming a sample and falling in love. I just might have to get a bag of them eventually Joely- Cathie- Did you get your order yet? I'll be curious to hear how you like Ohh la la on the cold sniff. What's on the warmers everyone? Today, I have Hawaiian Ginger and Coconut Pear on and they are both terrific!

I was thinking about BNB for tonight, BUT when you put that on, it's hard to eat a meal because all you want is BNB to eat! and if I put it on for desert, isn't that just mean to not offer any REAL BNB??? hmmm... can't decide!

I don't have any special burners.. well I do like my halo warmers but they are still plain. People who have tried other soy tarts say the difference is night and day. I just know I LOVE Alyce's products! She is a wizard with scents.

Here are a few reasons I personally like Alyce's tarts the best: - For me, soy wax has a better 'throw' than paraffin wax. The scent seems to reach more areas of the room. - Paraffin wax scents smell more artificial to me, as do some soy tarts that are mass produced. My guess is that they have more additives to help the scent last longer to make up for store shelf life? Only an assumption, though. - Alyce's tarts are made fresh to order. Sometimes she can get the order out in a couple of days, but she gets so many orders in when she introduces new scents (every couple of months on average) that the wait time can be a week or two. Believe me, it is worth the wait! - Many of Alyce's tart scents smell very true and natural. Very pure smelling, and she is very conscious of keeping the scent makeup as natural as possible. Many of her florals smell just like I have your nose in a bouquet of flowers. Banana Nut Bread smells like I have one cooking in the oven. Strawberry Preserves smells like I have a basket of fresh picked strawberries. -Alyce's customer service is top-notch. She emails her customers personally, takes special requests from customers if there is enough interest in a scent, and answers any and all questions about her product through Delphi Forums or through private email. Besides all that, she could not be any nicer if she tried. And, her product really has proven to be the best in my mind. I tried other tarts from other brands, and through eBay, soon after I discovered Alyce ... and it only took about a 1/2 hour burning time of the 'competition' to send me running back to Alyce's site for more of her heavenly tarts. There really is no comparison for me. In competitors' scents, I only liked spicy and some clean scents - and detested 'foodies' of 'florals'. In Alyce's tarts, I have favorites in every single category - bakery being my biggest drawerful! Just my bucket of ! LOL

well, thanks for the info!! but I emailed her about wholesale info and carrying them in my boutique and got a one sentance response..... I wrote: Hi there~ do you sell wholesale?? I own a boutique in Lodi Ca and might like try this! I see pics of the burners, but do you have any pics of the waxes?? any more info would be great!! thanks so much!! Christi Morris, owner Mon Petit Chic and she wrote: Hi Christi, I am out of stock on all warmers. My prices stated on the site are wholesale to the public. Alyce yeeps!! not very warm and fuzzy to me!! oh well, I tried!! hehe I dont really carry candles, but I do have some cool battery operated yummy smelling wax ones that I cant keep in stock...really cute, and I JUST ordered these candles called Woodwick candles....they are one of the top five candles in the US, and they have only been around for about 6 months so i had to try them. They actually have a wood wick and crackle like a fire....anyone heard of them?? They have amazing scents and are also soy I believe....they say in candle biz that it takes years for a candle to make it into the top 10, so to be in the top five is six months is really amazing....so we will see!!

That sounds like it should be popular. I've NEVER been into candles because of dog and then kitty tails, especially kitties. And then I love the idea of the soy as opposed to petroleum based products.. renewable resource. My impression was that Alyce stocked warmers more for the convenience of her buyers and not really as a product. I'm guessing, from the verbiage you quoted that you wrote, that she read it that you want to stock burners, not tarts..

Christiii - sorry you had a first bad impression! Alyce really is a sweet lady. I think it is possible she may have misunderstood your question, thinking you were asking the prices as a customer. She is literally a one-woman business (with occasional help from her young daughter!) so wholesaling her product may not have been her first thought on a quick read. And Sea is right, she does carry the warmers occasionally as a convenience for her customers, but she does not keep inventory on them except maybe a few during the holidays. I've never heard of the Woodwick candles you have started to carry, but they sound very interesting!
