I ordered two bottles of the Lotion d'amour|Lotion d'amour as part of a gift basket for my hubby. I thought it was reasonably priced and although I was getting some other lubes and lotions, decided to add it to the basket. I chose the cherry and strawberry margarita flavors. I liked the idea of the warming sensation that it was supposed to produce and thought this was a little something different. When the bottles arrived, I was pleased with the size of the bottles. I decided not to try it out before giving it to him.

When I gave hubby his basket, he eagerly went through everything in and when he got to this jar, he held it up and just smiled at me. He thought the warming sensation was the key to making this product a keeper!

We had started with the cherry flavor first. When we opened this bottle, I thought it smelled like cough syrup. I don’t mind cough syrup but not when it’s playtime. I thought it was a little strong. While we were opening bottles, we went ahead and opened the strawberry margarita one too. It has a strong smell too but not really like cough syrup. I couldn’t decide what it smelled like, just that it had a strong smell. We went ahead and tried it out. As I was rubbing it on e him, I noticed a tingling sensation on my hands but didn’t say anything. Hubby started squirming around on the bed and I knew I hadn’t excited him that much- YET. It told me to stop putting g it on him because it was actually tingling to the point of discomfort. I stopped and he recovered without anything major happening. He attempted to put the lotion on me but I stopped him, telling him about my hands burning while rubbing it on him. I have super sensitive skin so he knew better than put it on me – anywhere!

Needless to say, this product was a disappointment. The smell was strong, smelled and tasted like cough syrup, and the tingling felt like you had a fever! Not exactly the effect we want in the bedroom. Overall, this gel only gets 1 star from us. I was disappointed and so was hubby was disappointed in it too. It was cheap enough and I got it as a gag gift but I wouldn’t recommend it if you are looking for something useful and effective.

This is one of those lubes that ended up in the trash can not long after arriving. It wasn't worth messing with. I will never order it again. It is not sugar free either.
