Link to Mrs. Meyers website
The link fairy prefers honeysuckle in the spring and gingerbread in the late autumn. But those are limited time scents. We tend to stick to lavender for everyday, with a little lemon verbena just to mix things up occasionally.

I LOVE the honeysuckle scent. I buy tons when it is offered to keep me stocked through the year!  But, I have been tempted to try lavender.

I love honeysuckle too. I didn't care too much for the gingerbread - I wanted to love it, but it just wasn't there for me. Throughout the year I use Lemon Verbena. I'm curious about the Basil, it seems like something I'd like.

I think I'm going to try the Basil, it seems like something I would like too.

Sounds like me, but I prefer the lemon verbena for the kitchen and the lavender for the bathrooms. I too am very curious about the basil. Would the kitchen smell like pesto? Not a bad thing.

If you want to try the Basil, please know that they will refund your money if the scent doesn't work for you. I had this experience with the Lemon Verbana; they refunded the cost of the items and told me to pass them along to someone who could use them.
I wish they'd offer Honeysuckle in larger sizes... and year-round.

Trying to imagine the rhubarb smell when I can't remember the last time I've eaten rhubarb. The site calls it 'fresh and tart'. I wonder if it has a grapefruit-y feel.
I fell head-over-heels for gingerbread. Lemon verbena is OK but not great. I love fruity or spicy scents; not so much on the florals. I think I may go for the rhubarb, since I was eyeing up the daisy print by Vera Bradley today, but I controlled msyelf. Look at how much money I'm saving!

Well, I ordered the Rhubarb and sent some as a gift for a dear friend. I also ordered Basil all purpose cleaner. I'll let you all know about both.
Mary, the only one that aches my head is the Baby Blossom. I really wanted to love the Gingerbread too, but it just didn't do it for me. My standby is the lemon verbena.

I can't even IMAGINE what rhubard would smell like!
I like Lemon Verbena and Geranium.
Sometimes the Geranium is a bit much, but most of the time I like it.
And, I did like Gingerbread for Fall and Christmas. But as soon as January rolled around, I wasn't crazy about it anymore

I'm feeling like the rhubarb may smell 'berry-ish', but that's probably because I'm used to strawberry-rhubarb pie! I wonder too, if they are not offering honeysuckle this spring? It's funny, because I generally stick to Lemon Verbena, but I'm really craving a fresh scent right now.

My kids call the Geranium the "church spray" - it must remind them of incense .
I got the Gingerbread set, and it was okay. I like it, but it doesn't smell like I was expecting.
I keep checking in hoping someone will review the basil - I really kinda want to try it!

I was sniffing the lavendar, lemon verbena, and geranium this evening while at the store sans dc...
Definitely the geranium, for me.
Of course, given our impending move half way across the country, I won't be buying ANYTHING at this point unless I absolutely HAVE to, and only in the smallest possible amounts...iykwim...
But when I get situated...heh.
Does anyone know of an on-line resource for this stuff at less than normal prices?
