Treasures of the sea - sensual kit discontinued by Kama Sutra - review by ImaGodiva

I've already reviewed my favorite bath product, Kama Sutra Luxury Bathing Gel, and I wanted to share how much I like this similar product, Kama Sutra Treasures of the Sea bath salts, even though it is discontinued on Edenfantasys.com. Hopefully someday it will be available again here.



When I received my order containing these bath salts, they were in an attractive plastic jar, inside a sealed plastic bag to prevent spills. They arrived perfectly intact. The jar is about 4 inches wide and 4 inches tall, and contains 24.6 ounces of bath salts. It feels very heavy for its size; the bath salts are really dense. When I first took off the lid, I couldn't believe how wonderful the smell was. It's fairly strong--stronger than the bath gel from my other review--but it's the same slightly floral but not too feminine, relaxing yet also somehow energizing, delicious scent. The bath salts are a combination of fine blue granules and larger white salt crystals.





Inside the jar, there is a shell that is intended for use as a scoop, and it works well for that purpose. One scoop is perfect for my large, deep bath tub.

When used in a bath, the bath salts dissolve quickly, and they color the water more blue than the bath gel does (it's a beautiful relaxing aqua color), with less bubbles, and a stronger fragrance. They also leave the skin softer with the scent lingering for much longer than the gel. Here is what the water looks like:



The bubbles that are made don't survive very long. If I feel like a strongly-scented, blue bubble bath, I will combine these bath salts with the Kama Sutra Luxury Bathing Gel, which makes copious amounts of bubbles that really last a long time. I do sometimes take a bath with my husband and he doesn't mind it if this product is added (I just use less; around 1/2 the normal amount). The scent is fine for men and women. Most of my other bath bubbles tend to be a floral, feminine scent, so it's nice to have something that we can both use together and not smell like a florist when we're done, or have him feel compelled to take a shower after taking a bath.

The label says: "Dermatologist-reviewed. Allergy tested. For adult use only. Use externally." As always, if you tend to be sensitive to ingredients or you're worried that there might be something harmful in the ingredient list, you should do some research to make sure these ingredients are safe for you. My skin can be sensitive to bathing products, and I have no reaction to anything in this product. I am left with soft, smooth, nice-smelling skin that lasts all day.



One jar lasts a long time. I would estimate that there are probably 20-30 scoops of bath salts in the jar. Even though the price is high, this seems to be a good value because it is so concentrated; a little goes a long way.
