True Pleasures: Pheromone Soy Massage Candle Review

A few month ago, I was contacted by an individual company to review some of their products. I was surprised to see that EdenFantasys had already picked up one of their products a couple days after I had received it.

As with every box I receive in the mail, I opened it with the excitement of a schoolgirl and found a sweet smell rising through the packing peanuts. Packing peanuts are fun, in my opinion. It's like digging through cereal for the prize at the bottom. ^_^ And what did I find? Why, a pheromone soy candle with the scent of vanilla sugar. I popped the lid off and took a whiff. "Mmmm....it smells like cake...." It's as sweet as a sheetcake with cream cheese icing. I'm not sure how many times I went back to the bedroom to smell it before my hubby came home. I touched it a couple times. The wax wasn't as soft as I thought it would be for a massage candle.

Of course, being the health nut that I am, I wasted no time in looking at the ingredients. Everything seemed to be in order until I saw "Copulandrone, Copuline-alike and Reconstituted Anronone" and wondered what the heck that was. Naturally, I assumed it was the pheromones, but I figured I'd better check. My assumption was correct.

"Well, I how these pheromones would work on my hubby...." With that thought in my head, I decided to cover the label so he wouldn't know there was anything different about the candle. The only thing I told him was it's a massage candle and that I would be out to massage him after I got done with my shower. I lit the candle and let him relax while I got cleaned up.

Immediately after stepping out of the shower, I noticed the whole apartment smelled just like cake. "Dang, that thing makes me kinda hungry." I dried off and went to the bedroom. Not much of the wax was melted, so I was thinking I should've lit it earlier. Wrong. Having it lit for only 10-20 minutes was enough even for his big back.

I filled my little hand with it and went to work. It wasn't long before it started setting up. Soon into the massage, little waxy pills started forming and I decided to give up. My hands weren't sliding anymore, they were sticking. And no, the pheromones didn't do anything to either of us. There was a somewhat waxy film left on him, but he was too relaxed to go wash it off. Needless to say, his side of the bed smelled like cake the next morning. It even still smelled like cake after we had washed the sheets! Not that I'm complaining. ^_^ I'm not sure if it was the candle or the sheets, but the bedroom still smelled like cake for a couple days after.

Pros: smells wonderful, no parabens, nice portable tin to take it anywhere, doesn't take much to melt for a massage

Cons: sets up quickly, pheromones had no effect, left a residue

Summary: Well, even though I love the smell of it, I don't think I'll be using it for massage anymore. And I'm glad my hubby was the guinea pig and not me. I don't enjoy my skin being waxy. It did leave him nice and soft when he washed it off, though. And I couldn't stay way from him. I'm on a low-sugar diet because it really affects my period, and him smelling like cake drove me mad. >.< My rating for the Wish candle: 2/5 because I wish it would've made my hubby horny instead of waxy. Although I won't be using it for any more massages, it does smell wonderful and I'll continue to use it as a candle. Soy candles are nice because they completely burn away and don't produce as much soot. That's definitely true for this candle since it has a hemp wick. (Years ago, there were additives in wicks to help them burn and caused them to put off a lot of carcinogens. That's been taken care of for a while now, though. So, no worries.)

The massage candle from Classic Erotica comes in lots of other scents. If you feel like giving one a try, click on one of the pics or just check out EdenFantasys for lots of other massage options, sex toys, lingerie, etc.
