Water-based lubricant
by Love To Love

Light and fresh.

So Fresh Cool Arousal Gel, by Love to Love Cosmétiques Érotiques, is a very mild clitoral arousal gel. While it may open new doors for people who have previously been unable to use stronger arousal gels, it might not be the option for some. It is very mild, and just might not work for some, and it wears off quickly. Also it contains glycerin, which can cause issues for many women. The price isn't that bad, when you consider the fact that most arousal gels come in a much smaller tube.

Use

So Fresh Cool Arousal Gel is a very mild cooling/tingling clitoral gel, and is pretty much only good for what it specifies. Clitoral arousal. I have tried it on various places on my body and really only felt cooling in my clitoris and labial areas. I also tried it on my husband's penis and he said it does nothing to him. This would be a great product for people who are unsure about using arousal products, or are very sensitive to other, stronger products. For someone who is very sensitive it might be the perfect option. I remember the first tingling/warming gel I ever tried was so intense I swore the stuff off for years. It's a very mild arousal gel, so I don't think there's much of a concern with it irritating. Also, it comes off really easily in water, which can be a con for some, since that limits it to out-of-tub experiences only, but can also be a pro because if you ARE irritated by it then it can easily be cleaned off. It DOES contain glycerin, so I would NOT recommend using it as a personal lubricant, as it is solely meant as a clitoral gel, and do not recommend it at all if you have issues with glycerin-containing products. It's also not the best for use during oral, as it is water soluble.

Texture / Consistency / Thickness / Viscosity

The gels' texture is very nice actually. It is slick and smooth, and goes on nicely. One small drop will spread out over quite an area actually. If I put a pea-sized drop on the back of my hand and rub it around, it covers the entire back of my hand and a bit of my wrist, so it spreads pretty well. That same area, once covered will then dry, or absorb into my skin after about five minutes. I can add a bit of water or saliva to re-moisten it, but honestly it gets a little tacky if you do that, since most of it absorbs pretty well into the skin. It's honestly a better bet to just add another small drop of the gel and continue. If you don't want to keep reapplying then you could use 2-3 drops of the gel instead of one. It washes off very nicely with water alone, and honestly, I rarely have to wash it off as most of the time it just absorbs into my skin. It runs a little bit, but you don't have to worry about it slipping away on you. If I hold my arm straight up, and pump a drop onto my forearm, it runs about 1 1/2 to 2 inches before stopping.

Taste / Aroma

So Fresh Cool Arousal Gel has a very nice, light menthol scent. It cannot really be smelled unless you are up close, and the smell does not linger long after it wears off. It also has a very mild menthol taste, which you might notice during oral, but I don't think it would be strong enough to bother anyone.

    • Smells good

Performance

As I said above, it doesn't last a very long time. I kind of got a bit annoyed, having to reapply it quite often when masturbating, but when I was using it with my husband it was okay, since after the first 5-10 minutes I really didn't need to use it anymore. Just bank on using it as a light jumpstart, or reapplying it often. I love the easy clean-up. It doesn't leave me feeling like there's a film or grease on me, and it's easily washed off with just a bit of water on a tissue or washcloth.
    • Absorbs into skin nicely
    • Dries up too fast
    • Reapply often

Packaging

The gel itself is inside a 1.6 fl oz. bottle, with a nice pump action dispenser. It comes inside of a small white cardboard box, with a small instruction pamphlet in several different languages, and a list of their other products. The main language is French, and there were a couple words messed up in translation, but nothing that would be cause for concern. The bottle itself would be great for travel. It has a cap, and since it's a pump dispenser it won't leak anywhere.
    • Does not leak
    • Easy to use / dispense
    • Travel friendly
Follow-up commentary
We just don't have a use for this. To be honest, I took it and gave it to a friend that said she is more sensitive to this type of thing. It just doesn't pack enough of a kick for me.
