Sensual massage oil review
Kama Sutra has done a magnificent job with this line of massage oils. The oil is very light and soaks into the skin nicely without that greasy feeling that many products leave behind. It leaves skin shiny and smooth – almost velvety – without feeling oily.Published: March 5, 2008
Pros:
Smooth; a little goes a long way; nice scent; safe for ingestion; safe for careful heating.
Cons:
The scent may be a little strong for some; uninteresting flavor.
Kama Sutra has done a magnificent job with this line of massage oils. I am incredibly fond of almonds, so I picked up some of the “Sweet Almond” oil, and I couldn’t be happier with it. The oil is very light and soaks into the skin nicely without that greasy feeling that many products leave behind. It leaves skin shiny and smooth – almost velvety – without feeling oily.
The scent in the “Sweet Almond” oil is very strong, and after applying a small amount (a dab smaller than a dime) it is easily perceived from several feet away, but I found that the scent didn’t linger overly long and never became overpowering.
A small dab of this oil goes a very long way, so a bottle this size could probably last for ages. A friend of mine owns some Kama Sutra massage oil and she informs me that, despite using it on herself, her husband and their four kids, a single bottle of the oil has lasted her for over a year.
I’ve witnessed (and, I’ll admit it, taken part in – the stuff is irresistible and it smelled so good I just had to use it on myself as well) about an eighth of a cup of it being used on six people, covering most of the shoulders and the backs, with about 2/3 of the oil in the cup left over afterwards.
The oil is pleasant when used straight out of the bottle, but I find that it is even nicer when you pour it into a microwave safe dish and heat it up for about 30 seconds before use (make sure to check the temperature in order to prevent the possibility of accidental burns).
If you wish to start out with a sensual massage and move into other forms of play, the ingredient list does not contain anything that you cannot lick off your partner, although the flavor is unexceptional (nothing to please the palate, but nothing to displease it either).
Even if you don’t have a partner to use it with, I find that the oil works nicely as a moisturizer for my legs in the winter months when they are all dried out, and it only takes a dab to cover the legs with it.

Sensual Massage Oil- What the heck do they smell like?
-
Sensual Massage oil has a nice little selection of scents...
Here's the problem- There are 5 scents to choose from, but no way to know what each one smells like! There is no description of any kind! And most of the names (Pleasure Garden, Healing Blend, Serenity and soaring Spirit) give no hint as to what scents they include!
Does anyone know of a website/page that describes each scent option better than EF's product page? -

I read the first 3 reviews that had been posted on this product, and was discouraged when they didn't describe all 5 scents. After reading your response, I decided to go through and read every review for this product, in search of descriptions.

"~Purple- Healing Blend
"Rich blend of essential oils for soothing muscles and restoring harmony."
This scent is very relaxing and warm. This is a great scent for when you want to relax and unwind. It has elemi, clary sage, clove, and nutmeg. It's a warm and sensuous nutmeg/clove scent. It makes you feel warm and sleepy.
~Turquoise- Soaring Spirit
"Invigorating blend of pure essential oils to energize and refresh."
This scent contains scent notes of citrus, geranium, ginger and fennel. This scent makes you feel clean and awake! To me it smells like strong peppermint.
~Orange- Sweet Almond
"Sensual combination of calming oils for relaxation and de-stressing."
This one smells exactly like almond extract. I love that smell! It contains the oils of sweet almonds, vitamin E, and skin smoothing emollients.
~Green- Pleasure Garden
"Aromatic mix of pure essential oils for sensual and seductive intimacy."
This one contains oils from Italian bergamot, ylang ylang, neroli, rose, lavender, and sandalwood. To me it smells like a sexy blend of sandalwood and lavender. It's very warm and cozy.
~Blue- Serenity
"Soothing mixture of pure essential oils for quieting body and soul."
It contains oils from warm cedar, sweet marjoram, orange, and lavender. I think this one smells the lightest and kinda smells like a mix of sweet almond and healing blend. It doesn't smell unique. It's a very relaxing scent and it's the lightest."

"The sweet almond is the most simple of the oils. While the Pleasure Garden is italian jasmine, rose, lavender and sandalwood; the Soaring Spirit is fruity with orange, lemon, peppermint, spearmint, geranium, ginger and fennel; and the Healing Blend is more of a woodsy smell with lavender, cardamom, rosemary, marjoram, elemi, clary sage, black pepper, clove, nutmeg, juniper and pine."
I wanted to share those two descriptions, in case someone else is wondering what they smell like and (like me) doesn't think to read through ALL the reviews for a description. :)
