Attractive packaging, and a personal recommendation of the brand from my mum, so I was very happy to get a bottle of this 'sensual massage lotion' as a gift. Unfortunately if failed to live up to it's promises.
My mum swears by the lavender products of Healing Garden, but this jasmine scented lotion was a distinct disappointment. Firstly the key word in that last sentence was 'scented' - while keen to cash in on the craze for all this natural and aromatherapy-like, this is actually your basic synthetic mineral oil lotion, and the 'natural extracts of passion flower, nerioli and ylang ylang' given preeminence in the blurb are actually right at the very end of a startlingly long ingredients list. Secondly, this stinks - the scent is pleasant, but entirely overwhelming - after trying it out, by bedroom reeked of the stuff for about two days, even with the windows open! And thirdly, while it's a fairly adequate body cream, it's a poor massage lotion - absorbed into the skin too quickly, and leaving it sticky, rather than smooth for massaging.
I believe this was a middling expensive bottle from Superdrug - part of a fairly lavish gift box - and unfortunately I'd have to say it was essentially a waste of money. All in all I'll be sticking to vegetable base oil and real essential oils for my massages in future.
