I feel peaceful and at ease after I use this sugar scrub. It's easier than usual for me to relax and unwind. I like showering with it when getting ready for a date night with my husband.

I agree with others that this can be difficult to use because it gets hardened and challenging to manipulate. I'm going to try someone else's suggestion to blend it with a mundane sugar scrub and see if I can get the magical effects with a smoother application.

When this series came out, I purchased many different forms, and this was my first time purchasing a sugar scrub from S&S. The formula of this scrub makes it difficult to use (it accidentally got wet and hardened into a solid rock, pretty much), but I figured out how to hack away at the sugar block and get access again. That's the only reason for the 4 stars. In terms of its magical efficacy, it's just as amazing as other EVII forms, and it is incredibly nourishing for my skin. I LOVE the EVII salve, and having the salve as a base definitely boosts the qualities of the scrub. I love how relaxed it makes me feel and how "in love" I am with my own body and self.

This was such a gorgeous scrub!! I think I would say I prefer(red) this over the EVII scrub {which isn't a constant throughout, i.e., I wouldn't say that I like the EVI series as a whole better than EVII as a whole}. But there was something about this scrub's energy, scent, texture(s), components, etc that really did it for me. I was expecting the same with EVII, but that's not the easiest to use. There seems to be a major issue with hardening no matter what I do, and I don't remember this being the case for EVI.

As for the *magic* of this scrub, it was intoxicating in the best way possible . . . very useful for embodying sexy, sensual energy. Soo pleasurable! And chill as hell. EVII in general, while similar, has a major difference to me: it can sometimes feel "too young" to be this erotic~ but EVI is the original NSFW seductress haha

I like to use this scrap to get rid of any stubborn smells in areas like armpits. It also opens up the flow of energy in the body after use. Feels great to apply it together with bath salt in shower.

I bought this for the year's Venus in Virgo transits after an especially chaotic Venus in Leo time, and it has been so good for keeping up my social energy and a good cleansing/balance.

It was hard to use this scrub at first, the loose sugar went everywhere my first attempt. But I ended up getting a "muggle" sugar scrub as a surprise gift from a client shortly after, which has worked out beautifully as a carrier to the EVII sugar scrub. Doubled my supply and cut out all waste.

I would have never ordered this product on my own but I was lucky enough to snag an altar box for this series when the grace period for members was up and of course that meant one of everything! I put off using it for a few weeks but then realized it would be really nice to have a lil exfoliation when taking my shower prior to doing the ritual bathing (which completely slaps btw). I do find that it's essential that you take a small spoon or knife and scrap whatever amount you want to use into a small bowl in order to mitigate moisture exposure but I don't share the opinion of prior reviews that taking that extra step is a detriment. I found this product to be such an unexpected powerhouse....and it made the ritual bathing that followed even more enjoyable and special. I highly recommend!

I was so lucky to receive this scrub as a gift and, while I have run into the congealing issues that others have noted because I didn't know to prepare/take care, I take the little bit I need from the tin with a pretty silver spoon I've dedicated to the job and it's smooth sailing from there. I gently exfoliate my face with a bit of this scrub (and apply the Exalted Venus beauty oil afterwards if I really want to feel deluxe) and my skin loves it.

I would have to agree with the previous review re: congealing. My first tin was unsalvageable; oddly, it seemed that storing it in a very AC-ed room hardened the product before I even used it. I tried multiple things to fix it, but to no avail.

The next tin I purchased remained in its original/ intended condition for a while, and I was very careful to take care of it properly. The main thing was ensuring not to get the contents wet. In order to do this, I would put a certain amount into a cup & use that in one sitting.

Currently, I'm dealing with extreme hardening of the scrub again. I don't know why, because the first Exalted Venus scrub didn't run into issues like this. Going to try some more things to soften it, and hopefully it will be good as new soon!

Technical specs aside, this is a heavenly-scented scrub & its effects are just as celestially soothing. It feels like providing a buffer between oneself & the rough outside world. It's interesting: I've noticed that, as the scrub eliminates roughness & reveals lovely, smooth, rejuvenated skin, one is left with a sort of "like attracts like" situation; negative, old, difficult energy has been sloughed off, and so you are less likely to draw in more of the same. While a bit more specialty (to me) than other materia Forms, it's such a beauty & delivers the sweetest blessings!

This smelled sweet and sugary and floral, and was a great scrub. However, the oil + sugar did tend to congeal upon itself, and once its into a block, its really hard to parse out. Other than that, its lovely.
