Brace yourself before you head into the Thymes' annual warehouse sale starting Thursday, Oct. 6.

Scents include agave nectar, ambersweet, goldleaf, mandarin, lavender, azur, eucalyptus, verbena bamboo, tamacind lychee, red cherie, cocoa monoi, and filigre. Maybe it's just me, but scents at the Thymes seem to be getting stronger. For what it's worth, the only subtle fragrance that I smelled is filigre.

The sale runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday and Friday and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at 63 St. Anthony Parkway, Mpls, 55418.
