I found this company thru ebay while searching for fragrance oils. Anne (the owner) is fantastic! I purchased many fragrance oils from her and also tart/oil burners (wonderful prices).
Anne's oils are un-cut and excellent. She also sent me free tarts along with my order in honeysuckle. The tart was very highly scented and scented my whole house within 15 minutes. I actually had to blow out the tea light within a couple hours (it was that strongly scented), and could smell the scent the next day thru-out my home.
The oils are very strong if burning in a tart/oil burner so you may have to add water to the oil when burning. I like very strong scented scents, so for me to have to add water (to oil) or blow out a tea light under a tart, that should tell you the scent strength of Anne's products.
These are her two sites: (ebay) http://stores.ebay.com/A-CANDLE-LOVERS-DREAM_W0QQssPageNameZstrkQ3amefsQ3amesstQQtZkm
and: www.ascentloversdream.com
-----------------------------------
UPDATE: I tried a vanilla tart and it was really very good. To me, the scent was more like a baking scent with vanilla which is probably why I liked it so well. Great scent throw too.
Pumpkin not quite as strong as honeysuckle, vanilla or cherry, but good.
Also tried a cherry tart (very strong scented).

none so far

Give this a try if you love huge tarts. The scents I chose give a moderate to strong throw. You really need to cut the tarts in half as they are too big too melt all the way in my burners but then that is a good thing because you get two melts out of one tart!I also ordered 10 oils and love the lemon sugar the only one I have tried so far. I think Anne wants to please her customers. I hope she can lower shipping costs and I am sure her business will take off!

I have to leave a poor rating, unfortunately. Order was placed Novemeber 25th. By Jan. 3rd, there is still no product (the order was for fragrance oils) and there was no response to two emails. I have had to initiate a PayPal dispute.
Update: I am improving my rating simply based on how the seller has responded to this issue. Anne promptly refunded my money and sent a follow-up email explaining what must have happened. From her communication, it appears she is very concerned with customer service and her products. I will attempt ordering again from here, as I believe this mix-up has been more than satisfactorily resolved by Anne. I will further update when I try her products.
UPDATE 01/12/2008
I ended up placing another order after the first mix-up. Anne was very generous and apologetic and wanted to make things right.
The new order arrived promptly (within a week) and was packaged securely. The oils are in plastic bottles with screw caps, and a white label attached on the front with handwritten identification. One of the problems with this is if the oil happens to drip down the front of the bottle, the writing runs. For myself, I need to purchase droppers to be able to dispense the oil safely.
That being said, her oils are fabulous!
What I burned:
Coconut Bubble: Rich coconut smell, very strong. A hint of sweetness. I loved it and would re-buy.
Cherish: I have mixed feelings on this one. I hated it in the room it was actually burning, but loved it in other rooms where I could still smell it. Maybe it was just too strong for me, but overall I really liked it. A sweet, cherry type of smell. It was almost effervescent. It's definitely unique.
I did not burn these yet, because I really need to purchase some droppers. But here are my cold smell thoughts:
Apple Blueberry: I do smell crisp green apple.
Berries & Sage: Smells fruity. Lighter scent, pleasing.
Black Cherry: Very strong cherry smell.
Blueberry Cheesecake: Very nice blueberry smell. Strong.
Vanilla Buttercream Crunch: Sweet vanilla smell
Almond: Sweet almond smell, moderately strong.
Chocolate Covered Cherries: Very strong, lots of cherries here. Lighter on the chocolate.
Chocolate Covered Strawberries: In this one, I smelled lots of chocolate. Very strong.
Delish: To me, this did not smell good cold.
Mango Spice: Spicy. I do smell cedar.
Pink Kisses: Definitely smell the chocolate here, very strong. I don't smell anything pink.
Candied Blueberries: Has an aftersmell I don't like.
Captivatingly Currant: Strong and spicy, but not too overwhelming. Love this one cold.
Eucalyptus: Strong but not overpowering. Smells like Vick's.
I also bought the aroma beads in Tropical Coconut scent. It smells wonderful, very strong. And she included some organza bags.
Freebies included:
Coconut Lime Verbena: Strong. Definitely smell the coconut. Not sure I like this one cold.
Blackberry & Sage: Strong on the blackberry.
Aroma Beads Patchouli: Didn't like this, but I don't like the Patchouli scent (so I've discovered).
Overall, if you are in to burning oils, this is a great place to find lots of variety and very good prices. I'm sure the initial customer service issue was a fluke. For oils, give her a try.
