What are your favorite Dona aphrodisiacs?

Contributor: Nazaress Nazaress 02/28/2012

I'm considering getting some (if not all) of the Dona products after hearing so many good things about it. I'm just wondering which "fragrance" I should get. From what I've read, the "fragrance" doesn't actually describe what scent you'll be receiving (I assume that's random) but rather, what aphrodisiac ingredient you'll get. So my question is: Which ones do you like the most?

I will let you know when I purchase some. Was just going thru to see what else I want. My next big purchase is going to be a lot of bath products from Dona.

I think that's going to be my next big purchase, too. I don't normally go for all that bath and beauty stuff but I'm really interested in it now, mainly due to Texas Mama and Cookie Monster Mike. I'm interested to see if they're going to come into this thread and grace me with their presence.

Well, I'll come in since this is one of my current favorite topics. But I'm probably going to be long-winded so grab your soda and chips. You know me - I can't keep anything short.

First of all - you are right - that the aphrodisiacs do not equal the fragrances/scents. That doesn't mean that they aren't present in the scents but they aren't the scents themselves. For instance - I've read of blue lotus being like pop rocks...hmmm...and Camu Camu which is a superfruit and high in vitamin C - smelling like coconut and vanilla.

So it is vitally important that when you read reviews - you hold these reviewers (myself too) accountable to telling you what it smells like. Ask them what the top notes are that they notice - what do they notice half an hour later? One person told me that their mangosteen candle has floral scents in it. I haven't noticed that- however- I was so overwhelmed by so many scents, etc. from many product lines - that I couldn't handle having the candle burning at first.

Something to remember though is that the fragrance is going to be different from product to product. For instance - I'm going to use mangosteen here...the mangosteen body wash smells very different from the mangosteen body mist lotion. It smells even different still from the linen spray.

Any of the products that you are looking at which are designed for washing/bathing (except maybe the polish) - are going to have the scent changed by the presence of the soap products in there. Even the milk bath product has a bit of a milk smell to it that changes the scent.

You'll find the clearest scents (from my experience) in the body mist lotion, the linen spray and quite possibly the body butter. I haven't tried any body lotion that wasn't the body mist lotion - which is oil based.

To me - thus far - here are how I perceive the scents of the products I've been using.

Mangosteen - I almost always smell melon and tropical scents in there - my favorite product for this is the body mist lotion

Pomegranate - I smell berries and melon and this is definitely sweeter than the mangosteen which I felt was a sweet melon - the body drizzle however tastes like a whipped sweet strawberry yogurt with tiny tart pieces inside it

Acai reminds me of sweet almond in the one product I have so far (massage oil) - yet I still smell some sort of fruit in it that I can't place

Camu Camu to me continues to smell like a rich french vanilla with coconut in some products (body butter) and yet almost a vanilla coconut/floral scent in the body mist lotion

The other two aphrodisiacs I don't feel like I can describe yet...maybe as I experience them more.

Something else to consider is that we'll each experience the fragrances of these (and any other products) differently. A good example of this (sorry Mike) - is how Mike and I both experience "Island Hopping" by Not Soap Radio. How many reviews have you seen where folks describe it as pina colada or fruity or whatever? Mike picks up not on those but on a musky undertone (which I can't smell at all) and says it reminds him of "dead skunk in the road". Same product- but two people experiencing it differently.

What I am starting to do now is to use the various products with other product lines to help me decide what I want to continue to buy in the future. For instance, I'm not a super big fan of the body wash. It's good - don't get me wrong. But it doesn't have the clear notes of the mist lotion. So I'm using it with my Not Soap Radio products (the mist lotion that is) because it is light enough that the scents work together.

I'm not into bath products as I prefer showers - so unless my daughter asks for more - when our herbal essence bath, chromotherapy bath and bath milk is gone - I probably won't be replacing it.

But I'll probably always have the body butter, the body mist lotion, the body polish/scrub and maybe the massage oil in most of the aphrodisiacs.

Have I made any sense or is it all clear as mud?

Yes! I was hoping you'd answer with some enlightening words.

I think I'm most interested in Pomegranate right now, then, and I'll definitely avoid Camu Camu because I HATE vanilla. I'm looking forward to your descriptions of Blue Lotus and Goji Berry.

I guess I'm weird to say I want to try Camu-Camu the most. I'm really curious about Blue Lotus too. I'm hoping it would smell fresh and clean but I guess I'll never really know until I finally order something and try for myself.

Mangosteen and Pomegranate by far are my favorites. At first it was just Mangosteen, but I have really been enjoying the Pomegranate products. The Camu Camu is my kind of fresh scent go to product.

It is important to note that almost every single person will smell these as different than the other person. They have been designed specifically this way and also combined with the fact everyone smells things different any way.

While Pomegranate to me smells very sweet and berry like, in the bath salts it's near identical to strawberry pop rocks, the next person might think of it as a tart juicy berry, and some people have even said it smells floral.

Blue lotus someone described as smelling of pop rocks, but I smell a light natural flower smell with hints of sweetness like a blue-raspberry candy.

But from each persons description you can at least gather an idea of what to expect.

Thank you for such an in-depth answer. I'm still interested in knowing what "Goji Berry" is like (for some people). I think I'm most interested in Pomegranate now.

I'm sitting here dying of laughter cause I told Mike last night that the Camu Camu is my version of the "dead skunk scent" that he feels about the Island Hopping.

Mind you - I'd already bought several of the items after reading on the DONA facebook page how folks described them as vanilla and coconut.

Anyway - the fact Mike likes Camu Camu (and hates Island Hopping by Not Soap Radio) and I don't care as much for Camu Camu (and love Island Hopping) - just strikes me as funny.

I think the bath essence my daughter used and I reviewed was goji berry if I remember right.

I'm so excited....I have several items coming in tomorrow - anything from mangosteen body butter (about time) to some of the perfume gels (which should be interesting) to some more body drizzles.

If you wouldn't mind, please tell me about the scents as you experience them. I want to get a general idea of them before I purchase any. I'm also interested in the different flavors of the body drizzles. Thank you.

Oh wow - I've described the scents so many times in my various posts on here (there were at least 5 previous threads before this one) and in my reviews. I'm in the middle of stuff and don't have time to type it all out again.

Here are links to some threads that might help you.

Oh wow - the perfume gels just arrived...very very impressed with the size and the high clear notes of each scent I ordered (Pomegranate, Acai and Camu Camu). I think this might be my favorite product in the line and I suspect the scents will last a long time since it is a gel-based roll-on.

I am definitely loving this one. Also received the moisture lotion (not the mist lotion)0 and the mangosteen body butter..wow...differen t looking than the other body butters I have in the line.

Thank you.

And I'm glad you're happy with the perfume gel. I considered getting it when I make my first order of Dona products but I've never even heard of "perfume gel" before, let alone used it.

The camu camu is nice, but with my body chemistry, I end up detecting the amazing smell of vanilla and playdough.
03/02/2012
Contributor: Hot 'N Sexy TexasMama Hot 'N Sexy TexasMama
Oooh playdough...such fun....NOT!

I just got the Camu Camu perfume gel - really debated on getting it - but to be honest with you - it is my favorite Camu Camu infused product. Of course, my favorite perfume gel is....pomegranate.

I want to experience all of the scents and aphrodisiacs but at the same time, I want to like them all. And by descriptions so far, the only one I'd REALLY like is pomegranate. So I'm really debating whether or not to get an assortment or just pomegranate.

My first purchase of Dona was the Goji Berry scent and I am glad I chose it I got like 10 things from them and missed some that I have to get. Let me know what scent you try first.

I did get the body drizzle for the Goji Berry and I did not like it at all. It is a peach melba. It tasted fine at first then it left a nasty after taste in my mouth.

Camu-Camu was such a disappointment in the body butter. I agree, smells like playdough! It's not yummy at all! If you want something vanilla/coconutty and yummy go with Cake.

I agree that CAKE is better for the vanilla/coconut scents...I wish it didn't give me migraines.

I personally would recommend staying away from Camu Camu in the body butter. (I do like it in the roll-on perfume gel).

I'm sure they're supposed to be different, but I find the scents to be very similar, and overpowering.
