Toy Review of The KamaSutra Massage Oil Candle
Width: 2.75 inches (round)
Height: 1.75 inches
Quantity: 4oz or 6 ozs
Burning Time: 30 hours
Since I was on a quest to find the best massage oil candle around, I of course had to try the popular KamaSutra brand. I wish I had just saved my money.
The Kama Sutra Massage Oil Candle is made from coconut oil and shea butter. Coconut oil melts at 76 degrees. So on the plus side you don’t actually need to burn the candle to create the massage. The downside of this is – if you leave it out or when traveling it gets pushed over on it’s side, the entire candle can melt and you will loose your ability to burn the candle. And also – you end up with a puddle of oil in your suitcase where the dry, supposedly solid candle was. Not good at all!
This might have been forgiven if I liked the smell of my candle at all. It honestly smelled a little like house cleaner. It had a very unpleasant aroma. I thought it smelled kind of like bug spray, my man said it smelled a little like really cheap shampoo. Either way- not a romantic smell. And in no universe could anyone possibly think this smells like almond.
The only redeeming thing I can say about this candle besides it’s travel ready tin is that it did leave my skin really nice and moisturized. There was no film at all. My skin felt soft and smooth after a shower, which was nice. But of course my skin still had the slight weird industrial scent of the candle as well, which kind of ruined it for me.
In my opinion, this is candle is not worthy of the KamaSutra brand. I would definitely save my money and pay a little bit more for something that actually works and smells wonderful – like the JimmyJane Afterglow.
