Sensual massage oil review
Kama Sutra’s Sweet Almond Massage Oil is an overall excellent product that is natural, and great for the skin. Will relax your muscles and leave the skin smooth and soft. It is excellent for sensual massage and has a silken texture and glides well over the skin’s surface.Published: November 24, 2008

Cons:
-Can't be used as a personal lubricant.
Kama Sutra’s Sweet Almond Massage Oil contains a combination of several natural oils including almond, grape seed, and pistacia vera seed oil, all known for their skin-softening properties. Sweet almond oil is rich in vitamins and minerals that revitalize, sooth and nourish dry skin. It is also high in fatty acids which provide relief when massaged into sore, aching muscles. It is excellent for sensual massage and has a silken texture and glides well over the skin’s surface.
The sweet almond oil has the subtle scent of almonds which makes it a good base oil in Aromatherapy when mixed with essential oils. I like to mix my oil with scents depending on how I feel and love Kama Sutra’s Six Scents Kit that contain intoxicating blended oils that arouse the senses.
The oil comes in a plastic squeeze bottle. You only need about the size of a quarter in the palm of your hand for massage. I usually start out with that amount for the back then add more as I move to other parts of the body, or as it absorbs into the skin. It is nice to warm it up in your hands first so it is not so shocking when applied to the person being massaged.
I also love to use the massage oil as a sensual product for sex play. Not as a lubricant for the genitals, but as a lubricant for two bodies as you sensually slide over each other during sex. It is a good idea to use a plastic sheet if you want to use it for this, as it can get messy. My lover and I pour generous amounts of the massage oil into our hands and smear it over each other’s bodies until we are shiny and slick. There is nothing more sensual than sliding over someone's body with your own during sex. Because it is an oil, it is for external use only, so try not to get it inside the vagina by wiping the excess from the genitals. Eventually, the oil rubs into the skin, but with this type of excessive use you will need to shower afterwards.

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. :)

Thank you for viewing Sensual massage oil review page!
I love this massage oil as well, and used to swear by it until I tried Shunga's product, which I think I like even better. Have you tried it yet?
I have tried Shunga in Vanilla, and I agree. It is a lovely massage oil. I don't think they have it here though? I love Shunga's massage candles too! Amazing scents and very erotic.
Yeah, they only have it here in the full-size gift tins. And I agree--their candles are amazing and I heartily recommend them to everyone! Wish Eden carried more Shunga products. They even make a shower gel that's EDIBLE!
Now what's in this that you can't use it for lubricant?
It is an oil-based product. Men could use it, but women shouldn't use oil-based lubes.
I find the cap on this bottle so convenient. I have a bottle of massage oil that smells so heavenly but it's cap screws off and it gets messy tryng to screw it back on.
Nice Review!
Love the review.
Thanks!
