Secret garden enhancing cream - cream discontinued by Shunga Erotic Art - review by ~LaUr3n~

Here is the secret to enhancing your garden's pleasure. This arousal gel contains natural ingredients such as the L-Arginine and L-Ornithine proteins which increase blood flow to the clitoris when applied. This increases sensation and causes a cooling and warming effect. Use this gel to start off your arousal or to enhance your ending orgasm. This product is great for any sensitivity since you can apply it until you feel it. It is not recommended for pregnant or STD infected women since the L-Arginine ingredient can cause outbreaks. Even though it is designed for women, it can also causes heightened sensitivity to males also if applied to the head of the penis.

Ingredients:

Water, Glycerin, Propylene glycol, L-Arginine, L-Ornithine, H.E.C., Turnera aphrodisiaca extract, Methyl paraben, Propyl paraben, Mentha piperita, Tocopherol (vitamin E).

NOTE: contains glycerin and parabens, but at a small amount

This is advertised as a cream but the consistency is more like a thick lube or thin gel. It can get stringy if it is exposed to air, but straight out of the bottle it is smooth and slick. It stays where you want it to and massages into the clitoris and hood easily. It is easy to squeeze out of the bottle and doesn't make a mess. With time it blends into the skin and doesn't feel sticky.

As soon as you open the box, you can smell the amazing peppermint. This alone gets me in the mood. It sadly doesn’t taste like peppermint. It has no taste. This is good because the gel can be used during oral after it is absorbed by the skin. It doesn't make the tongue feel weird in any way.

To use Jardin's Secret Garden cream dispense about a pea size drop onto your clitoris or and massage into the hood and clit, as well as the close surrounding area. You may need up to 3 applications to feel the effects. I felt them within 30 seconds of the first application. I like this enhancement gel more than others because it has more of a cooling sensation than it does a warming. At times it almost feels like both though. The first application only lasted 5 minutes or so and I was disappointed. I decided to apply it again and this time it lasted over 20.

The first time I used this I was playing solo and it put me in the mood immediately. It made my orgasms more intense and didn't distract. The second time, I used it during sex and I think after a while the sensation went away from being mixed with lubricant. It still felt amazing building up to the ending orgasm.

This enhancement gel doesn't last as long as others that I have tried but I liked the feeling better. I don't mind re-applying it every once in a while to continue this feeling. It wasn't overly intense with normal application, but can be intensified with more gel being added. The gel was easy to wash off and the sensation went away quickly with soap and warm water.

Shunga is known for their decorative and artistic packaging. This comes in a gorgeous little black box with a picture of a geisha face on the front. There is nothing and it is discreet because the writing is small and appears on the sides and bottom. Inside the box is a bottle about the size of a small travel shampoo. It is a squeeze type and can stand on its own if you decide to get rid of the box. The bottle is also discreet with small writing and black color. It doesn't leak so it’s good for travel. The 1oz size will last for at least 30 applications. There are instructions for use, other product info, and warning pamphlets. The box makes for great storage since this product should be kept in a cool dark place out of direct sunlight.

I am giving Shunga's clitoral arousal gel 4 stars. It smells amazing and feels great too. I love cooling over warming and this had a nice balance. It does need to be reapplied and doesn't last as long as other ones I have tried though. The packaging is gorgeous and would make a nice gift. Overall, another winner from Shunga.
