The Dona rose petals are intended to add ambiance to any sensual encounter inside or outside of the bedroom. These can be used to lure a lover to seductive setting by leaving a trail to the intended area, or just to add a little sweetness to a romantic encounter.

These rose petals are aphrodisiac infused: I take that to mean they're infused with pheromones. While undetectable to me, I have to trust the label. The petals come packaged in a flimsy, clear, plastic tube. The lacy looking floral sticker doesn't offer much information about the product other than they're aphrodisiac infused. To be precise, the label reads "an aphrodisiac infused ritual." Does that mean the act is an aphrodisiac, or the product is infused? Sadly, I'm confused about this.

Inside the tube, of course, are the petals; mine came in an orange color. The top edge of the petal does have a slight touch of red. The texture of the petals is much like that of a store bought artificial flower. My point being, they have not been treated to make them feel soft and luxurious, like a rose petal would feel on skin. The petals are made of polyester; the net weight of the petals is .35 oz. If you want to get the most out of the petals, be prepared to separate the majority of them. I found myself separating clumps of three to four petals at time. The petals arrive as if they've been stamped out together, hence stacks of three or four petals stuck together.

Unfortunately, I did find this a necessary frustration. After separation, as I made a trail up the stairs, I found more petals, stacked three thick that I had missed. All in all, I believe I ended up with approximately 90 petals. This proved an ample amount to lead to the bedroom or cover the area I intended to use. These petals also work well in water: for example, the bath. I did test the color fastness and they passed with flying colors, no bleeding.

Did the aphrodisiac work? Well, unfortunately, for me, not at all. Sadly the petals arrived scentless. Not a smidgen of fragrance! I did expect the petals to smell of roses. That said, the petals had no effect on me in the sensual sense. Visually, they are a nice touch.
