Anyone familiar with the new Dona line?

So far I am incredibly impressed by this line. I have the Camu Camu scent in the bath salts and the Mangosteen in body polish. Camu Camu I cannot describe or compare to anything really, it's a unique smell that I brain simply cannot compare to much. However to try my best, it smells like the sand on a salt water ocean mixed with the smell of a rain forest.

The mangosteen is just freaken phenomenal. It is the best citrus scented product I have ever used. It's strong, but not overpowering, acidic, tangy, sweet mangos/citrus that remind me of vitamin c chewables but only better.

The Camu Camu in Bath Salts is very hard to really describe what it is. I'm not real familiar with guava scents, however from memory I would say there is a hint of the guava. The scent is strong in the container, ran me a hot bath and while the scent reduced in strength, it become actually more soothing, relaxing and pleasant. Still, unable to describe the scent lol. I even asked my fiancee who is seriously the pickiest person in the world about scents/tastes and she had no clue how to compare it to something. She said it just smelled really pretty and that she enjoyed it. That is very rare for her to enjoy a new smell like that, normally she is snotty about these types of products.

I'm now definitely getting the Linen Spray, the bath milk, and i think the body wash.

I just wanted to remind folks of something (I'm a big fan of layering the same scent from one company) - if you use one scent from one company with another scented product from another company - I would do it at first on a small portion of your skin to make sure there is no interaction between the two different lines.

There probably wouldn't be - but I'd hate to see someone do it right before a big occasion and then wind up breaking out or something.

I have the body polish and the lingerie wash. Love the wash, hate the polish. The body polish burns my skin and turns me red. It does smell really good (I have the mangosteen). The lingerie wash is handy to have around. It seems to clean well and smells yummy. I have that in pomegranate.

Very good tip btw. I have been worried about this myself lately as I have got a lot of bath/body products to use and review. Trying to do one at a time.

My review is now live levellc09 if you would like to read it, it has a fair amount of useful information.

Mangosteen the "Queen Of Fruit"

I now know tons of information about this product line thanks to a sales rep over at System JO. More information I thought I would ever find out honestly.

So any questions you can either ask me, or I can tell you how to contact the sales rep for the really detailed information. I also have a couple of product info documents I can send to you if you like.

I have the Body Polish in Mangosteen (LOVE IT and my review is nearing publishig)

I have Bath Salt in Camu Camu. I love this scent even more now.

Then I am getting these 7 products free from the manufacturer.

-body butter (mangosteen)
-body wash (acai)
-bath milk (goji berry)
-bath foam (blue lotus)
-arousing herbal bath essence (pomegranate)
-linen spray (camu camu)
-body mist lotion (camu camu)

As you know Mike - I'm so jealous you're getting the mangosteen butter. I should've whined and cried and begged for it.

Unless they run out of a product and do a substitution, I'm getting:

Body butter (acai)
Body butter (pomegranate)
Body butter (camu camu)

Bath milk (goji berry)

Chromotherapy (blue lotus)

Massage oil (acai)

Kissable body drizzle (pomegranate martini)

Herbal bath essence (goji berry)

So OF COURSE, tonight I had to order some of those scents so I could layer them for an "effective" test.

If you guys buy that reason - maybe my husband will too!

I had an interesting email from Ashley. I was asking her about Camu Camu because I can't seem to place the scent. I know in other products (Scentsy, etc) it is more of a fruity scent because Camu Camu is actually a superfruit from what I've found out.

Her response to me was VERY interesting. She stated:

As far as the company describing the scents, not to sound cliché, but we honestly think they’re kind of indescribable. Each one was specially created by our chemist and so each is very unique to DONA and unto itself. We have not come out with scent descriptions simply because we don’t want to limit the uniqueness and intrigue of each one by putting them into specific words ourselves. We’d rather let each person decide for themselves.



And it’s important to recognize the distinction between a scent and an aphrodisiac. The aphrodisiacs we’ve chosen are actually the extract we’ve infused into each product and we’ve also chosen six different scents and flavors to appeal to a wide consumer base. Hope this helps!

So basically - from what I'm understanding of her note - Camu Camu is the aphrodisiac that is put into the product but the scent can be different...which is why I'm smelling a fairly strong vanilla/french vanilla mixed in with coconut.
