Kama Sutra Honey Dust Body Powder Tropical Mango 1 Oz

If your idea of a good night smells like ripe fruit and sunscreen, start with Kama Sutra Honey Dust Tropical Mango. This 1 oz jar of kissable body powder carries a sweet mango scent and comes with a small feather, so a partner can brush it across your skin and then kiss it away. It's the compact version of the line, easy to slip into a gift bag or a holiday suitcase.

Why a mango body powder works

Kama Sutra sums the scent up as sweet, ripe mango. It's juicy without the sharpness of citrus and a little warmer than the berry flavours. Because Honey Dust is a dry powder rather than a lotion, the fragrance comes across as a soft haze on the skin. Up close it's obvious; a metre away it fades. That makes it easy to wear even if you don't usually like scented products.

A few ways to play with it

The feather does most of the work. Some ideas for an evening in:

• Turn the lights low and dust a trail from one shoulder blade to the other, then ask your partner to follow it with their mouth.
• Let them pick three places to dust on you, then swap.
• Pair it with a massage: once the oil has soaked in and skin is dry again, finish with a light dusting for a smooth, scented layer.

Outside the bedroom, the corn starch base makes it handy for staying fresh and dry on hot, sticky days. Brush off any extra before putting on clothes so it doesn't mark the fabric.

Small jar, big range

The 1 oz size is a low-commitment way to see if Tropical Mango is the scent you'll go back to. It also makes a thoughtful add-on to a gift. If it becomes a regular, the 6 oz Tropical Mango jar gives you a bigger feather and far more powder. Mango fans can also match it with Oil of Love Tropical Mango or the Tropical Mango Weekender Kit, which bundles several Kama Sutra products in the same scent.

What's in it

The listed ingredients are modified corn starch, glucose, corn starch, honey, silica, flavour, sodium saccharin, sodium benzoate and benzyl alcohol. The formula is talc-free. Honey and glucose give the powder a faint sweet taste when it's kissed off. If you know you react to fragrance or any of these ingredients, try a little on your inner arm before using it more widely, and keep it to the outside of the body.

Looking after the jar and feather

Powder and humidity don't mix, so keep the lid closed and the jar out of the shower area. Rest the feather on the powder when you put the lid back on, and give it a gentle shake before each use to fluff it out again. If the powder clumps after a damp spell, a few taps on the base of the jar will break it up. Keep the jar out of reach of pets, who tend to like the smell of honey as much as people do.
