April's Addicting Aromas !

Overnight i melted Cosscreek's coconut lime verbena. ths morning is Crosscreek Caramel Buttercream Frosting...major yummy!

Late yesterday had Green English Ivy from Tarts Galore going - nice. Since I made Mexican food for dinner I put some Pink Lime tart brittle from Spotted Hog in and it was super strong and just the right scent for the evening. Now I have yesterday's Banana Nut Bread going again from CHC.

 

P.S. - I don't know about anyone else, but I didn't think I'd betoo into the bags of brittle (was a freebie to make up for a dud candle), but I do like knowing I have a LOT of one scent if I like it without having to anticipate how many tarts I need or worrying about hoarding it. Come fall and holiday time I can see mostly ordering brittle since I use a few select scents over and over for a couple of months......I guess it's just like having a candles'-worth of one scent.

Melting Nene's Cherry Lemonade - LOVE this one!

Mom: I'm now a "brittle" convert for the scents that are favorites. It is often much more economical than buying multiple tarts, and you eliminate all the mess of slicing tarts, etc. to accommodate different size melters or to make a homemade combo of scents.

I still buy individuals for the scents I am trying or if it's something that I wont' melt often, but for my "go-to" scents, I now get the brittle product whenever it is available (some vendors don't carry it).

I hesitated ordering it at first, concerned if the scent strength, etc. was the same as melts, but with recommendations from others here, I tried it and am sold!

started a YC swirl candle Lemon Lavender / Sage & Cirtus

 

great combination.

 

I splurged on this one. I'll have to wait for a clearance sale to get more. or mix tarts

This morning it is Crosscreek Lilac in the tealight and a White Barn Lilac Blossom candle on a warmer. Have a nice day, everyone.

Good morning, everyone! So far, it's bella bug boutique's sweet orange & chili pepper in my bedroom. I love this scent! I haven't started the other melters yet, but I will shortly.

 

Have a great day!

Just finished YC macintosh and peach...this is one of my fave YC scents! Now i've lit my Gold Canyon clean sheets candle!

That White Barn Lilac had NO scent throw at all--first time that I ever had one of those that didn't have tons of fragrance. I'll start something else after I get back from town.

mpfand, how do you like Love Never Fails? I got that one in bath & body products and am really enjoying it.

This was sent to me for my birthday and, although it has a very light throw, I really like the scent. I bet it is really wonderful in bath and body products.

 

It's light but wonderful in the bath & body too - must be just this particular oil. I'm glad you're enjoying it!

momuvtwo and beth, I agree with you about the brittle...I really like it for those reasons too. In my travels last summer I came across some mason jars of tart brittle from a company called Magpie Primitives. I bought the New England Apple Pie scent and OMG was it scrumptious! Incredible fragrance and throw and the jar seemed bottomless because I didn't seem to need as much in the warmer.

Just stated Front Porch Candle Shop. Hasn't melted enough yet to tell what I think of it.

Good morning everyone! This morning is Sugar & Spice Wildberry Zinger Tea. I really love this scent, just not big on this supplier's soft clamshells that don't seem to last very long! :? ! Still waiting for my three big orders, so I'm cleaning out the leftovers in the meantime!

I love the brittle too, but I won't order it in a new scent any more. Only tried and true.

Please come back and let us know what you think of this scent. I am interested in your opinion of the Candle Shop.

Sun & Sand from YC in the powder room. Oatmeal Raisin Cookie from Candle Haven still going strong in the kitchen.

So dainty, mpfand. Powder room.

I have had CHC's Wildberry Zinger going this morning - Love this one!

[Guest tammye]

I left the house for awhile after I put on the Front Porch Candle Shop and when I walked in my house did smell like a candle shop. It is a mixture of several different scents but one scent doesn't over power any other scent. I really like this scent. I will definitely reorder this scent.

update on my birds of paradise from chc..this had a great cold smell, but NO hot throw at all, all I could smell was wax...and in a tealight burner...ditching this (

[Candlefind Placeholder 3]

Maybe it's a good thing it had no throw, jerseymom. I don't know if I'd want the scent of exotic birds permeating my home.

Thanks for the update Tammye.

 

I added Nene's Blueberry Jam Cookie to the scent mix today. Really good.

[Candlefind Placeholder 3]

Hehe!

In addition to the Crosscreek Lilac that's been going all day I have Brown Bag White Lilac and their Spring Lilac.
