I liked our Kama Sutra massage candle, the scent was ocean. I would say don't use it in a small closed up room because it is strong! Had I thought about that or known I would have opened a couple windows or went into the living room. The wax was nice and felt good rubbed in. The scent stays on your skin unless you wash it off. A little goes a long way too, we used too much and had to wipe down with a baby wipe so it didn't get on my shirt, the scent still stayed until I actually got in the shower. It could be different with another scent but I would just be in a well ventilated area. I like that scent but out-doorsy scents sometimes bother my allergies (mostly floral)or cause a headache so next time I'm going with a fruit or bakery scent and I'm thinking about trying the Shunga candle.
