I'd like to start a discussion of the various scents by DONA. I hope some of you who are also using these products will chime in with your thoughts.
Today I received my Camu Camu and Pomegranate body mist lotions. I was most excited about Camu Camu but I also bought the pomegranate so I could compare it to the ginger/pomegranate products by Simply Sensual.
I am frequently having to take breaks as I sniff at these scents and open a travel size jar I keep of coffee (coffee beans really best) to clear the senses. I think it's recommended that you do this after every 3 or 5 scents - I forget which.
Ok - to me - and this is in the body mist lotion only - the Camu Camu smells like a very light vanilla/coconut blend and is almost towards the musky side of scents. It isn't a "bright/rich/sweet" scent but more muted and soft.
The pomegranate smells very sweet and rich. Once again, I am using the body lotion here. It almost smells like berries and melons together and is very VERY sweet - even sweeter than the mangosteen is (and I thought that was sweet).
The mangosteen is a sweet melon but it lacks that "berry" sort of scent added to it. I'm also talking about the body mist lotion when I say this.
As far as the two pomegranates go, the Simply Sensual is almost more of a mulled pomegranate - probably due to the ginger in it. It feels a bit heavier and yet not heavy and not as sweet as the DONA pomegranate. For me personally, this will probably be my "winter version" of pomegranate and the DONA pomegranate will be my "summer version".
I'm specifying the types of products here because the odor will change from product to product even though they are in the same line. I find that the body wash and the lingerie wash have somewhat of a "soapy scent" to them along with the scent they carry. It isn't a chemical smell - but it comes from the soaps that are in there to clean.
I'd love to hear what others think of this and how you feel the scent smells to you.
