Nothing sensual about it
In all honesty, I can't gather any thoughts to form a sentence to promote buying this product. It may be because I have sensitive skin, but it just didn't work for me. The scent and the overall sensations produced by it was just uncomfortable for me. I wanted to like this product, I TRIED to like it but there's no denying reality.

Pros
The jar and packaging is nice- 2 points for that!
Cons
Everything but the jar and box.
Fun Factory makes some great vibes with power and interesting designs. Since I have tried a few of their toys and wasn't let down, I figured I'd give this gel a go. I had been looking at it every now and then for about a year before I made the plunge. Not such a great experience.
USE
Fun Factory's Sensual cooling gel is a product designed for females. It is for external use only and is supposed to heighten arousal by waking up the sensitive nerves in the clitoris. The jar specifically says that it is for external use only, so don't even try using it as a lubricant. You take a dab on your finger and rub it in. If you have allergy concerns then you will want to look over the ingredient list:
Water (Aqua), Glycerin, Alcohol denat. (SD Alcohol 39-C), PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, CArbomer, Fragrance (Parfum), Hydroxyethylcellulose, Tromethamin, Menthol, CI 19140 (Yellow 5), CL 42090 (Blue 1).
TEXTURE/CONSISTENCY
The texture to this gel is like a thin hair gel. I feels sort of greasy at fist and it's pretty slick. It stays in place where it's applied until you rub it in. I felt like I needed to wash it off because though it did seem to absorb into the skin, it left a slight sticky feeling.
TASTE/AROMA
If you even get a whiff of this stuff that will be enough to make most people decide that this isn't something they'd want to put in their mouth. If you use this and you partner wants to start some oral play- WASH IT OFF! It smells like a cheap men's cologne or aftershave, that's what immediately popped into my head when I opened the jar. I do not enjoy the scent at all. There is also a chemical like smell to it. It's very strong and stays on the skin.
PERFORMANCE
The gel had a sort of "fire and ice" effect for me. It feels cool when you dip your finger in the jar and for a few moments when it's applied to the clitoris, then unexpectedly it just starting to feel burning. Not painful "I set my clit on fire" burning, but what it feels like if you've ever stupidly applied muscle rub to abraised skin (not fun). I do have sensitive skin, so it might just be me. I immediately wanted to wash it off but didn't want to ruin the moment so I decided to stick it out. The burning started to slowly let up some and it was a combination of cool, heat and tingling. This is NOT something that I would want inside of me by any means. 20 minuets later and I could still feel the gel there. I had to wash it off, there was no waiting it out with this. I was really bummed out because I had high hopes for this product. I like cooling gels and creams but this stuff is going right to the garbage and I hate that, such a waste, but I don't like it all. I could have ignored the scent but the sensation was just too strong and uncomfortable for me. There was nothing sensual to this experience with the gel at all.
CLEAN UP
I recommend using warm water and a soap that won't irritate your genitals to get it off. You can try a wipe, but if you felt like I did, you want to be sure it gets off for good.
PACKAGING
It comes in a really nice box, though not discreet because there is a nude couple embracing on one side. You can't see their genitals and the breast you can see has pasty covering her nipple, so it does look like a sexual/intimate product (it also says "for lovers" on the front). There are directions and ingredients on the box. The gel comes in a really nice glass jar.

Follow-up commentary
4 days after original review
I know I just wrote this review, but there's nothing to wait for to see if I "like it better" or "anything changes". It went straight out with the trash the day the garbage truck came. There was nothing about this stuff that I liked. Total waste of points, so glad I didn't spend my money on it! Totally overpriced for that smell and burning sensation!
