Kama Sutra massage candle - body massage candle by Kama Sutra - review by hmb12

This candle is great for working out the kinks in your back, and even better... getting in the mood for a night of sex and fun. The package suggests letting the candle burn for 20 minutes before, which allows the scent to go throughout the room. After letting the candle burn (about 20 minutes depending on how much oil you want to use), you should blow out the flame and get to rubbing your partner...I just used this 5 minutes ago, and just talking about it makes me crave another massage.

I was very pleased with the texture and viscosity of the massage candle. Before burning the wick, this massage candle is exactly like any other candle. It is possibly a bit softer because of the essential oils it has in it, but it is firm and works just as well as a standard candle for burning.
After burning the candle, you will have a smooth, oily substance that really absorbs into the skin, and allows your partners hands to glide over your back, or other body parts, perfectly. It's basically a warm oil at this point, there's nothing I can say, other than it is the same texture as most other oils you might put on your body (olive oil or argon oil for example, are very similar). The difference being that a little bit goes a long way. Twenty minutes of burning the candle makes for a very long massage, or a massage for two, just because it spreads so smoothly and easily. Using too much might cause a mess, but I found when using a little at a time, and using as suggested, this massage oil will not become messy. If you pour the oil into your hand first you will be less likely to make a mess, even though me and my boyfriend really enjoyed the sensation of pouring directly on the back.
As the products soaks into your skin it will maintain its soft, silky texture. I gave my boyfriend a massage with the Kama Sutra candle last night and even though he washed before bed, he still has that silky smooth feeling on his back. I've tagged the texture as velvety and smooth because that's what my boyfriends back felt like the next day. During the massage its basically like any other massage oil you might use, very warm and very high quality.

The aroma of this product is a lot fruitier than I expected. I purchased the Mediterranean Almond scent and it smelled more like a fruity candle before burning, but it was pleasant. As the oil burned and massaged into the skin, it smelled a little more nutty, soft, and like the almond scent we expected. While we were not displeased, some may be unhappy with the fact that it is a bit more fruity than the title suggests.
As for taste, this is not an edible product, in the sense that you don't want to drink a glass of it, or pour it in your mouth. Yuck. It is, however, kissable and smooth. I kissed my boyfriends back while massaging him and I loved how it felt on my lips, and it tasted very light and almost as pleasant as it smells. I was not disappointed, and continued to kiss my guys back throughout the massage in order to make my lips feel soft, and to please him.
The scent and taste are both pretty soft, but not too soft. You will smell it but it won't overwhelm you. My friend walked into the room while I was massaging my boyfriend, and she could smell it, but it's something that won't skunk up your house. It is long-lasting though. I have some on my back now since I haven't gotten to the shower yet (I was too inspired to write the review!) and I can smell it faintly, but nobody else can still smell it. I'd say it's been about 15-20 minutes since my massage.

As I mentioned above, if you burn the candle for 20 minutes, which I haven't had the patience or self-control for so far, you will have quite a pleasant, lengthy massage. The oil never really dries up so you can keep going as long as your little heart desires. My boyfriend said he wants his turn to last forever, so I didn't get as long of a turn but that wasn't the products fault by any means! During the first massage, we let the candle burn for less than a minute. As soon as we saw oil, we went for it! This wasn't quite enough, but we waited 10 minutes the second time, and that was quite enough. We had no problem making it last as long as we wanted it to.

I definitely enjoyed giving the massage as much as I did getting one. Ok, well not quite as much, but you know what I'm saying. Usually I hate giving massages, I can do it, but I prefer it to be over within 10 minutes or I start complaining. This time I was excited to run my hands through the oil, rub it into my boyfriends skin and smell it and kiss it, and umm... well I'm getting all hot and bothered... It was a good time for the both of us.

When we washed it off, it took a bit of effort, but since the product contains vitamin E, shea butter, and coconut oil, it's not bad for you, so no worries. As I'm sitting here with the oil on my back and my shirt over it, it isn't too bothersome, but some may find it awkward, which is understandable. The problem I did encounter was that my boyfriend felt pretty itchy in the morning, even after I helped him washing the extra oil off of his back. It didn't burn him, and he said other than the itching it was still a pleasant feeling. I'm sure if you have a back scrubber in your shower it'd be more thoroughly cleaned off, but that wasn't the case for us.

While we're on the topic of unpleasant features, the oil did sometimes get white but that didn't change it's texture. My boyfriend says it looks like I rubbed a little bit of soap on my back, but I couldn't feel the difference. This would be another motivator to making sure you wash thoroughly. The whiteness should rub in as you go, I'm sure its just because the oil did in fact come from a white candle. It wasn't something that really bothered either one of us.

This product is packaged in a tin, same round shape as most standard candles. It's instructions, and any other descriptive information are just stickers on the tin which concerns me a little because they might peel up at some point. The stickers were already a bit rough around the edges when I received it, but not in a manner that looked problematic at this point. Also, not to complain too much, but there was a tiny dent on the tin. I couldn't even get a good photo of this to show you, because it's so small and insignificant. Just a reminder that this is a damageable container. I'm sure most people can deal with the container without any mishaps. It's pretty sturdy. Things can happen in the shipping process and that's understandable. Not worth a big reduction in my overall rating.
One thing that could be a bother, and is a design issue, is that the tin will get covered with waxy-oil. This is because there is a convenient little spout (shown in my picture) for pouring the oil out. I loved this about the candle, it's a great feature but you will get a waxy substance dried on the container, unless you don't utilize the spout. For example, you can use a spoon like they show in the product image, but that did not come with the candle.

Like I mentioned, the feature I liked the most was the spout, but it did cause some mess on the outside of the container.
While the image of the product suggests it will come with a mini-spoon, I did not recieve one.

I loved this product and will definitely be buying another one when this one is out.

This was a great product for my boyfriend and I. It will definitely get you in the mood for "sexy-time" and you will want more! I know I do.
