Petite body souffle - edible body butter discontinued by Kama Sutra - review by PassionQT

If you and your partner are chocolate lovers, but you don't want a scent that is too overpowering, you may want to pick up a small jar of KamaSutra's Chocolate Crème Brûlée Body Soufflé. Simply put, it's a food-scented sensual massage cream that provides some light-moisturization and the power to make you irresistibly kissable, because after all, everyone knows that chocolate is associated with romance and is said to have aphrodisiac effects. It should only be used on the body, avoiding the face, and rubbed in thoroughly before attempting the taste test.

The petite/small soufflé is a travel-friendly, 1.8 oz plastic jar filled with a light and fluffy, whipped delight in a mid-tone brown color (for the chocolate flavor), that looks good enough to eat, but don't! It's harmless if you are just kissing and licking your partner once it's been fully absorbed. Quality soufflés such as this one are wonderful because they aren't greasy and will quickly absorb in to the skin. The lingering scent isn't offensively strong, and yet it will last for a while (depending on your body's chemistry/pH). The crème brûlée notes (vanilla/caramel) soften the top note of the chocolate.

The ingredients are: Water, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Cetyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Theobroma Cacoa (Cocoa) Extract, Glycerin, Dimethicone, Cetearyl Alcohol, Flavor (Aroma), Polyacrylamide, C12-14 Isoparrafin, Laureth-7, Peg-100 Stearate, Carbomer, sodium Saccharine, Sodium Hydroxide, Potassium Sorbate, Tetrasodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanol.

It's a long list of complicated ingredients, but rest assured that the final product is hypoallergenic and dermatologist tested for safety.

PERFORMANCE
This product won't leave the skin looking shiny or greasy, and although its moisturizing properties are minimal, they are nevertheless there. I usually have an olfactory sensitivity/aversion to chocolate-scented products, but this one didn't bother me as much as I thought it would because it's so light. For those that really wind up loving this line of products, it would be nice to see it available in a larger value-size jar, because this little thing isn't going to last past a few weeks if you are using it daily as your body cream. For occasional use though, this size should be more than enough.

As for the taste, once absorbed, is noticeably sweet on the tongue from the saccharine content, but I didn't find it to taste like chocolate, only to smell like it, which was fine. Keep in mind though that product is more aimed at stimulating the olfactory nerves and not so much the palate. It beats kissing just plain old body lotion though.

I ended up plopping a dollop of this on my nipple, but since I didn't rub it in like I was supposed to, my partner got a mouthful of what he described as "bitter tasting, chocolate-scented body lotion". I guess I thought it was like body paint. I don't know what made me think that, other than the fact that I wasn't fully awake when we tested it, so that's my bad for not having read the label. Once I was fully awake and could read coherently, I used it after my AM shower and sighed in relief as my body was enveloped in a warm blanket of sweetness.

While a friend of mine was over, I was showing her all my goodies and told her she could pick a few things if she liked from my stash. Sure enough, she snags this, but I knew her love life needed a spark, so I let her take it. All I can say is that if you absolutely love this, hide it! I didn't get too use if that often, but knowing my friend, it's probably empty by now!
