I brought the big 225g tub of this, I used to love the Karma scent, That woody, patchouli, smokey scent was a favourite.
The big black tub with screw top lid is wide enough to get a decent sized scoop out, I love how sturdy these plastic tubs are (which can be washed out and taken back to lush when you have 5 of them for a free face mask)
The consistency is thick and buttery. It absorbs into the skin easily without leaving any residue and that scent lingers for hours. Great at night but not so great during the day as it does compete with other perfumes.
The scent is very strong spicy, smokey, patchouli scent that I remember from years ago in a massage oil, is like walking into a gypsy fair with lots of incense burning at one time. It's nice but maybe slightly too much for me and I love the stronger scents. I do find it rather sickly if I add it to my whole body rather than just my arms or legs.
I will continue to use this until it's finished but I'm undecided if I will repurchase again.
I received a generous sample of this from Lush. I'm not a fan of the Karma smell so I've hung onto it for awhile. I thought it would be nice after I used the Blue Skies and Fluffy White Clouds bubble bar as they are both patchouli scented. It's the patchouli that put me off but when I applied this thick body butter, there was a sweetness that wafted up from it. It's orang, but more like sherbet than the actual fruit.
Even though this lotion is very thick, it sinks in straight away and leaves your skin heavily moisturised (although some might find it a bit greasy, but it was perfect for me). The sweet fruity scent fades and leaves a heady, more musky scent. It's one of those scents I prefer to smell on others rather than myself.
I love the texture and effect of this cream so I've rated it highly for doing what it says and recommending to a friend. However I wouldn't use it again as due to the scent, it's not for me.
