Added to review 2/18...
It is very important to note that when you see "Camu Camu" or "Pomegranate" or any other name on these products - these are NOT the names of the scent of the product. These are the names of the APHRODISIAC INGREDIENT that was used in the product. The scent may actually be quite different than the aphrodisiac that is listed. It is important to read several reviews to get a feeling from the reviewer of how the scent smells to them. A good example of this is Camu Camu which is a superfruit with a very high vitamin C content. In the Camu Camu products you would think this means a citrusy/fruity smell but that is not true for most of the reviewers on Eden and on the company's facebook page. Instead, Camu Camu is being described as a vanilla/coconut scent and one person (Cookie Monster Mike) is thinking he smells some pink lemonade in there. Needless to say, this will not be the Camu Camu scent that you would find in other products - like say Scenty's Camu Camu wickless candles. (I used to sell Scentsy and have the samples here).
The company does not give out a description of the scents either because they find them to be "indescribable" and different on each person as they wear them.
So please - as you read about these products, understand that what you might think is the "scent" is actually only the superfruit that is used in the product and not the intended scent description.
After communicating yet again with the DONA rep today, I want to start out this review by commending Eden Fantasys for their diligence in finding toys and products to interest their customers. If they were a catalog store with paper catalogs, we would see updates maybe once a year or twice a year. Instead, every week they bring us new products that have just been released by companies. If you know someone who is a "trendsetter" when it comes to bath and body stuff (or sex toys), I highly recommend that you send them to Eden Fantasys.
Back to the DONA representative that I was talking to today via. email. I decided to ask her how long these products had been on the market. After all, System JO is a large company, perhaps they had been sold before under a different name or with different packaging. I didn't mention that to her, I was simply curious to see how long they had been out.
Are you ready for this folks? Put down your coffee or soda - stop eating that cookie. You know what the rep said to me? (By the way, I was asking specifically about the candles for a personal reason). She said, "The line has been out roughly since the beginning of this year (it’s still very new!), the candles included in that."
That's right folks - if you tell someone about these awesome new products that you found and they reply with something like, "Oh, I've seen that before..." or "I used that for months" - I would doubt them and suggest that they might be mistaken. This is a BRAND NEW LINE of products.
From what I understand from other correspondence and research I've done - they were showcased recently at an Expo that buyers go to - and that is how the wonderful buyers at Eden Fantasys found them for us and got them.
As I visit their Facebook page, I'm reading about store after store that is "discovering" their product and starting to sell it or wants to find out more information about the products. But Eden - as forward-thinking as they are - found them for us in January and had them here about - what - two weeks ago I think? I know it was fairly fast.
So I know you'll all join me in saying, Thank you Eden for searching high and low to bring us the newest products on the market."
Ok - with that said, I'll get off my soapbox and start talking about this product.
This product is a linen spray. It is NOT designed to go on your body but instead it is designed for your linens. It can also be used to freshen the room with a few spritzes or to spritz on some rose petals if you wanted to have a special night. I will have more on the rose petals later on.
This is one of the products that is offered for the fourth ritual ("Illuminate") in the five ritual series. All rituals (and scents in this line) will be listed near the bottom of the review. The purpose of the "Illuminate" ritual is to "enhance your natural beauty and space" per the company's paperwork I received. The other products that are available from the company for this ritual are a shimmer spray and a lip balm, along with the unscented rose petals which are part of the fifth ritual product line which is designed to "engage" and "share the fun with others".
This ingredients in this product are: Purified Water, Caprylic Capric Glycerides, Polyglycerol-6 Dioleate, Glyceryl Caprylate Caprate, Propanediol, Saccharide Isomerate, Passion Fruit (Passiflora Edulis) Seed Oil, Rice Bran (Oriza Sativa) Oil, Açaí (Euterpe Oleracea) pulp Oil, Babassu (Orbignya Oleifera) Seed Oil, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Garcinia Mangostana (Mangosteen) Fruit, Fragrance
Once again, I would like to point out that this product has no petrochemicals, no phlates, no sulfates, no triclosan and is paraben-free.
"Although this is a water-based product, you may want to do a patch test with this on a portion of your fabric that will not show if you are concerned about it staining."
