Linda threw in LOTS of extras to try and some candy too (her trademark)She is currently taking a vacation but will have more to choose from on Ebay after April 15. try them!
Fruit Slices (tart)> Top notes of orange/tangerine with sugary bottom notes. Reminds me of those candy orange slices with sugary coating. Refreshing. Tried in kitchen area. Had a moderate throw for about 4 hours. Just me but I don't care for the candy scents **
Republican (tart)>smelled very floral, Strong throw initially. Top notes of stargazer Lillies,subtle rose bottom notes of citrus. I wasn't crazy about this scent. It was too perfumy but then the strong initial throw diminished somewhat after about 2 hour and the next 6 hours+ mostly the Lilly scent lingered. Give it a try if you like Stargazer Lillies***
Amish Quilt (tart bars)>Tried this again in a bedroom, melted quickly releasing top notes of cinnamon with bottom notes of vanilla. I love this scent. I can see why alot of people like it. I could still smell it the next morning. Long lasting! 5 stars!*****
Butter Brickle (tart bars)>Tried again in another bedroom upstairs. This is such a strong throw from 1 square off the tart bar. The scent lingers. I love this as much as the Amish Quilt. They are similar but this has buttery notes. My daughter said it smelled yummy. Another winner at my house!*****
update 3/23/2007
Monkey Farts> a fun scent kids will love. Cold smell very yummy. Good scent throw initially but not as long lasting as her others imo***
Spiritual Awakening> reminded me of baby powder and a florist shop rolled into one. Not crazy about this one but some may like it. I could imagine my grandmother loving this scent. Cozy.Scent throw moderate. I threw it out after 3 hours..my nose didn't like it but my daughter's did so try it because it might well be your favorite!***
Grandma's Kitchen> cold throw was so yummy but I was disappointed in the scent throw. I could barely smell it in my powder room unless I put my nose right over the melt pool. Smelled wonderful and if it had a better throw I would have listed it in my top 10 favs. Maybe I will try again and see if it was a batch problem***
Vanilla Oak>very masculine fragrance. Just not liking this but some absolutely love this so personal preference!Scent throw very strong..reminds me of Old Spice!***
Just Peachy>clamshell. I though I would love this hot because the cold smell was true fresh cut peach. No throw at all when hot. I threw it out because after 3 hours I could not smell unless my nose was over the melt pool. Possibly another batch problem. I might give it another try because cold it was one of the best peach scents I have smelled!***
Bermuda Triangle> I am not a tropical fruit scent lover but this is wonderful and a crowd pleaser if you like tropical fruity scents. Good strong throw. I enjoyed it!****
update:4/20/07
I gave away the rest of my Spiritual awakenings to my neighbor but after going to her home and smelling it a second time, I ordered more..It is a really strong tart.
I think her Amish quilt is also the strongest and lasts over a 2 day period so I ordered more of that too.

I got a great deal on thses tarts from ebay. Plus she threw in lots of freebies. The shipping was very fast and the communication very courteous. I let the tarts sit for a while, and they are strong!

Linda sells round and clam shell tarts only. Made a good size tart purchase in April and immediately received an email from Linda thanking me for my order and it would go out in 2 days. That is fast!
I will review what I have melted so far.
Pineapple Up-side down cake: I am not a bakery scent lover but this was good. Strong throw, lasted about 6 hours.
Next, I melted Friendship Tea, Fresh Mowed Grass, Bermuda Triangle were all nice but little throw. Yuzu had great throw but did not last. That's when I decided they needed to cure.
After 2 weeks of curing:
Ice Pineapple & Pineapple Paprika were true pineapple scents and lasted a full day.
Spiced Apple Pecan was strong and lasted all day. Grandmas Fudge Nut Brownie smelled so much like brownies baking, I had to shut it off because my family started begging for brownies. Very rich and a true scent.
I found her very strongest scents were Wildflowers(very strong flower smell),New England Mist(very strong saltwater smell), Bayleaf & Pepper (very strong herbal spice smell) and my favorite, Lavender Apple(very clean apple/lavender scent) All of these scents lasted 2 full days or more.
A few I melted and threw out after an hour were Woodland Forest and Aromatherapy Energizing. They both had an off smell almost like really cheap perfume. Beachfront Daisies smells like that cold but I will update what it is like once melted.
The box didn't have any special/pretty packaging, just wrapped in moving paper but lots of freebies with my order. Each tart wrap in own bag and nicely labeled. Overall, this was an inexpensive way to try new tart scents and please with the majority of them. I would gladly order again.
