Intimate Organics foot foreplay - lotion by Intimate Organics - review by badk1tty

I just finished writing the counter-part to this, the body soufflé, I have been postponing writing both of these reviews for nearly two weeks, trying so hard to figure out how to explain the smell of cocoa bean and goji berry. The cocoa bean is a nice dark chocolate scent, deep and heady. The goji berry is not a scent I've ever smelled before. For me, this is the fruity version of patchouli, recognizable anywhere, but hard to explain. It's sweet, while still remaining earthy.



This isn't really packaged at all, and comes like other lotions do, simply in the bottle. When I opened the package, my nose was suddenly happy. The scent is a tad different from the body soufflé, being less earthy, and more sweet. When squirted in my hand, it's thick and smooth, lacking any annoying oily texture. It's thick enough to not have to re-apply to the feet too often, but not thick enough that it could be a pain to absorb into the skin. I really enjoyed this because it's also the type of lotion that I can use on my elbows, knees, and feet alike -- any tougher skin that needs a bit more moisture than usual.



My husband gave me a foot massage with it and he said he didn't smell girly or feel greasy afterwards, which is a major plus. It's sexy to give your woman a foot rub; it's not so sexy to go back to work and smell like you rolled around in your girls frou-frou basket. I love it because it's light enough to let him use all over my body, and unlike its counterpart, it doesn't turn me a bizarre color. This lotion actually does have a nice shimmer to it, but it doesn't add color, at all.



It advertises itself to be made with certified organic extracts, which is true. However, it still contains materials that many people are allergic to, including glycerin.
