I didn't even know there was a Yankee store in our mall until Friday. Found out they have been open since October. lol I walked around and sniffed a lot, but didn't buy anything. The quality doesn't seem the same to me either. My favorite was their Christmas Cookie. I've yet to find an exact dupe for that!

The Candle Source has Fantasy. I have it and it's nice, but I don't know how it compares to the original.

Haha No, I'm talking about me! I am the evil enabler!

Eeek! I don't want to be known as a dreaded "enabler" (lol), but if you haven't tried the Precious Gifts or the Cranberry Cassia Root, they are worth a sniff. I had gotten a Precious Gifts tart a while back and fell in love with the scent. Haven't done anything with the Cranberry one yet. It's divine OOB...smells so different from every other cranberry scent I have tried. Even though these sound like holiday scents, I would most definitely use them year round.

Well, like Lorelei said, it is a "beautiful, complex fragrance". It is unusual and reminds me of patch, yet is so different. And...I know what a patch fan you are! That Mystic Orange Moonstone is another special one. I could smell that one all day. It's wonderful!

LOL I fully intended to get the Fierce. Remembered it AFTER I hit the "confirm" button. lol I'll get it on the next order. Okay, so I ordered the Green Amber and, while I waited for it to come in, melted these tarts that I got from someone else in that scent...just didn't love it as much as I thought I would. Gonna try again though...maybe in incense or a room spray. For sure, don't forget the Absinthe...a truly unique scent. I think it is just up your alley! lol

You're so right about the Absinthe, Ravens. It is deliriously good...something really special about it. And these are only OOB impressions, but here goes: Honey Vanilla Love Dust - this one smells good enough to drink...LOVE IT! Bite Me - got a scrub in this in a swap and loved the strong cherry scent Love Juice - a different kind of citrus Almond Rum Cake - Mmmmm...I smell all three things Pizza (I know, yuck...but I'm curious...lol) - regretting this one! PLEASE don't make me sniff this one again! YUCK!!!! Tooth Fairy Taffy - smells a lot like Doodle Bug to me...bubble gum & cream soda Absinthe - love it...would make a great incense or room spray Carrot Cupcake - a sweeter carrot scent than I am used to, can't wait to pour this one Cranberry Cassia Root - wow! very nice...may be one of my new favorites Green Amber - stronger on the green notes, not liking this as much as I thought I would Mystic Orange Moonstone - omg...loving this one...unique for sure Guardian Angel - similar to Thierry Mugler's Angel perfume Angels Whispering - what a beautiful scent Mexican Fried Ice Cream - another one good enough to drink Cashmere & Silk - a little light, but a pretty scent Vanda Orchid - can't stop sniffing this one Vanilla Extract - good dupe, but wish it were a stronger Bamboo Hemp - eh...different...definitely an outdoorsy smell Baby Bee Buttermilk - yummy Niagara Falls - smelling mostly fruits in this one...love it! Blue Hawaiian - super strong, making me antsy for our cruise in June Sun, Moon, & Stars - nice! Sun Your Buns - liking this one better than the Hawaiian Suntan Lick Me All Over - sexy, fruity scent...mmmm

Looks like the only one I am getting that matches yours is the Lick Me All Over. I have heard that it is really good. Yep, you'll have plenty of time to test before Christmas, but you will for sure be needing more FO, unless you got big botles. Frosted Lime Cupcake is a must-have scent from NG, though not a holiday scent. Here's what I have coming: Honey Vanilla Love Dust Bite Me Love Juice Almond Rum Cake Pizza (I know, yuck...but I'm curious...lol) Tooth Fairy Taffy Absinthe Carrot Cupcake Cranberry Cassia Root Green Amber Mystic Orange Moonstone Guardian Angel Angels Whispering Mexican Fried Ice Cream Cashmere & Silk Vanda Orchid Vanilla Extract Bamboo Hemp Baby Bee Buttermilk Niagara Falls Blue Hawaiian Sun, Moon, & Stars Sun Your Buns Lick Me All Over :rolleyes2

lol Remembering myself and getting my first box of FO nearly 4 1/2 years ago. It is a sickness, I tell ya! lol Getting a box from NG today and can hardly wait! Welcome to the addiction! What all did you get and where did you order from?

Exquisite is the first word that comes to mind!

I love both Zucchini Breads...the ones from Candle Source and KY. IMO they are both awesome. I am hard pressed to pick which one I like better. I've also heard that Miami-Erie Candle Supply's Amish Friendship Bread is comparable to a zucchini Bread, but I haven't tried it yet. One of these days I'll get around to it.

Looks like you done good! lol Only with all of those luscious FO's you got, especially from KY, you might wish you had gotten more of their tart wax. You will go through 5 pounds in no time flat! They do have the best Zucchini Bread FO. It is one you will not want to stop sniffing!

I made several batches of 4794/415 at 50/50 a couple of weeks ago. I'm gonna start testing them now. I'm funny like that. I like to gve them a couple of weeks to cure.

I better order another case of my votive wax then before the price goes up. Boy, this sure is an expensive hobby! lol

I have tried both, and though The Candle Source's is good, I think Tennessee's is a tad better.

OMG! That is one of my favorite scents! I never even thought about mixing it with anything. It's perfect all by itself. Sorry, that was no help. :embarasse

I just poured the Hawaiian Suntan from NG the other day and it didn't pass my test. Although it is nice, it's not eactly the match I'm looking for. The search goes on. lol

Very cute! Where do you find the conversation hearts year-round? Or do you just stock up at Valentine's Day? I LOVE those candies, but only the ones from Brachs. lol

Darn you! lol Now I gotta go look up the description of Fierce! Been trying to do an NG order all week and the list keeps getting longer and longer. lol I am so pathetic! :rolleyes2

I've never smelled it either, but Day-Star has a Mahogany that is very nice.

We have a six-toed Ragdoll kitty. She's a feisty little thing!

I have the Hand & Body Lotion Base, and my husband, who has really dry skin, loves the stuff. I haven't used it myself yet because I have SO many other body butters from swaps (lol), but he has been raving about it. On the other hand, my youngest daughter says it is not moisturizing enough for her. I always have compared her skin to my hubby's, but I think hers may be a bit drier. HTH

Hehe... They are always that price. It must be a ploy. Their FO is very reasonable priced. Not a bad price on their 4 ozers. Have fun!

There are lots of good oned from The Candle Source. Pumpkin Carrot Streusel Pumpkin & Vanilla J&J Bedtime Bath Cinnamon & Sandalwood Lemon Poppyseed Cake I haven't been making much soap lately, but these are awesome in candles and tarts.

LOL Yep, the Green Amber is first on my list. That and the Mystic Orange Moonstone. I'm curious about the Bacon and Pizza FO, though. Do ya think it's mean to make Buttermilk Pancake, Maple Syrup, and Bacon FO and trick my family on April Fool's Day? lol If I did that, I would take them out for breakfast and then make the real deal the next day to make up for it.
