its very veerrry mellowing but in a self-love cozy chill smooth soft quiet way, not quite the magic sleeping pill of the cloud king butter, but that sleepy feeling when you dont want to go to sleep yet bc finally the affairs of the day have left you and its no thoughts, just nice feeling. Great for layering

my most reliable S&S sleep aide! - not what i thought i bought it for but maybe w my pisces 6H She prioritizes the grace of knocking me out (& lets me use less more powerful/alcohol-based soporifics). the sleep is curiously dreamless.

If you, like me, thought "lavender snickers bar?" and cocked your head to the side like, wtf? DON'T LET THAT DETER YOU. This body butter! has! everything! The best scent (as others have noted, more so herb than sickly-sweet gourmand). The silkiest texture. A little goes a long way, but it's Venus so... more is more, yes? My favorite S&S body butter, by far; it has really supported my relationship with my body post-health issues which resulted in some major body changes. It's helped me be more loving, more gentle, more accepting. It's turned bedtime into a luxurious Venusian ritual. And I have been ~blowing~ through it. Already halfway through my second jar. (Also, my girlfriend loves how it smells.)

First of all, OBSESSED with the smell of this body butter. Can't get enough of it. And it glides so smoothly on the skin.
Second, this is really great product if you need something to feel more attractive or more comfortable making yourself look attractive in natural, authentic ways. I have a Pisces Venus that's well-placed in other ways too, but I have really struggled to feel in touch with Venus-related things for the last several years. This body butter is subtle, but brings a constant feeling of really noticing/appreciating/embodying my natural beauty in the day-to-day, even if I'm not *trying* to look attractive. Using it every day seems to be rebuilding this relationship that I have with myself, and the way I feel about my body when I look in the mirror.
Also, my relationship with my partner has really deepened since using this body butter. He’s currently in another country and the first time I used the body butter, we had a conversation over text that felt like there was no distance at all. I also love combining this body butter with Regulus to feel more comfortable being seen in general.

As other reviewers have noted, this BB just smells delicious though I am a sucker for lavender-scented items. If lavender isn't your thing, you might want to explore other items in the series, because this is very lavender forward. I found that I really have to reserve this BB for the home space and/or right before bed, because I just can't be bothered with the drudgery and pettiness of the workplace when wearing it (note: this is so not helpful in a very high stress environment!). I think Exalted Venus doesn't play with that sort of space anyway, so consider reserving for times where the space is right to relax and indulge even if you need a bit of a nudge.

For what it's worth, to me, this BB wasn't as relaxing as the Jupiter in Pisces ones (Cloud Kingdom or Ghee of the Sea for example), but your own natal placement might vary! I find it to be more indulgent and self-loving, which is something we all would benefit from too.

I use this nightly to help fall and stay asleep. It's comforting and soft. I also use it during the day in social situations or to soften my interactions, whether social or business. I lean on it often.

I love this body butter so much. It has become a part of my night rituals - I use it to massage my poor tired feet ( because venus is exalted in Pisces which rules the feet) and I use it when I need to open my heart to love.. it has a super comforting scent. I have also used this in my face at night for some extra hydration- so good !

This might be my favorite S+ body butter--luscious and luxurious and oh-so-delightful. I'm on my second jar of this body butter and I think I may need to purchase a third, because it has become an essential part of my self-care regimen.

EVII body butter puts me in a perfect mood for parties. I host them pretty often, but I'm not always in the mood for them by the time the day arrives, and the body butter puts me in the right headspace for socializing/laughter. It feels glorious on the skin, and when it's layered with Luna in Cancer body butter (not just at the same time, but on the same spot on the body), it smells like what I imagine the essence of Taurus would smell like - sweet and sultry and not *like* anything in particular but somehow rapturous.

This body butter totally does smell like lavender snickers. It’s so subtle, but definitely makes me feel like I’m really caring for myself.
