Vanilla is the scent people rarely tire of, which makes Kama Sutra Honey Dust Vanilla Crème a safe pick for a jar you'll reach for again and again. It's a kissable body powder in the full 6 oz size, packed with a feather applicator, and Kama Sutra compares the aroma to sugar cookies fresh out of the oven: warm, creamy and only lightly sweet.
Fruit flavours are fun, but they can clash with perfume, shampoo or a scented candle. Vanilla sits comfortably next to almost anything. That's why Vanilla Crème tends to be the Honey Dust that gets used outside special occasions too: after a shower, before bed, or as a soft base under a light fragrance. It's also the flavour to choose for a gift when you don't know the other person's taste, and it pairs well with a plain, unscented massage oil if you want one consistent note through the evening.
Kama Sutra's own instructions are simple: dust it on with the feather, then follow with kisses. A few ways to make more of that:
Honey and glucose in the formula give a faint sweetness when the powder is kissed off, and the vanilla note becomes more obvious once skin is warm.
Because the base is corn starch rather than talc, Honey Dust also works as a light body powder that helps you feel dry and fresh. Kama Sutra suggests dusting it on before you dress, then removing any excess if you're wearing light-coloured clothing so it doesn't mark. It can stand in as a dry shampoo, too: work a small amount into dry roots and brush out. If you only want to try the scent first, the 1 oz Vanilla Crème jar is the travel-sized version.
Kama Sutra's vanilla runs through other lines. Divine Nectars Vanilla Crème is a flavoured, water-based body glide, and Oil of Love Vanilla Crème is a small kissing oil. Using the same flavour means nothing competes when you move from one to the next.
Listed ingredients: modified corn starch, glucose, corn starch, honey, silica, flavour, sodium saccharin and sodium benzoate. Retail listings describe it as paraben-free, gluten-free and talc-free. It's for the outside of the body only, and if you're sensitive to fragrance, try a little on your forearm first. Keep the lid closed between uses and store the jar away from the shower, as damp air makes powder clump. Kama Sutra advises checking the packaging for the current ingredient list, since formulas can change.

Helpful answers about Kama Sutra Honey Dust Kissable Body Powder – Vanilla Crème 6 oz.
Kama Sutra compares it to freshly baked sugar cookies. It's a creamy, gentle vanilla rather than a sharp extract smell, and it sits close to the skin. Most people find it easy to wear alongside other scents, which isn't always true of the fruit flavours.
It's a safe starting point if you're unsure which flavour you'll like, because vanilla rarely divides people. If you'd rather test it first, start with the 1 oz jar and move up to this 6 oz size once you know you'll use it.
Yes. Dry off fully first, then dust a thin layer with the feather or your fingertips. The corn starch base helps skin feel dry and smooth. Brush away any excess before dressing, particularly with dark or light-coloured fabrics.
Kama Sutra lists it as an option. Sprinkle a small amount into dry roots, massage it in and brush through. Use very little on dark hair to avoid a dusty look. Your hair will pick up the vanilla scent as a bonus.
It's made for the outside of the body, such as the neck, chest, back and thighs. Don't apply it inside the body. If you want flavour for more intimate kissing, a glide such as Divine Nectars Vanilla Crème is the better fit.
Rest it on top of the powder with the lid closed, and keep the jar somewhere dry. Give it a light shake before each use so the fibres open up again. Avoid soaking it, as a wet feather takes a long time to dry and can clump the powder.
No. The ingredient list is built on modified corn starch and corn starch, with silica for smoothness, and retail listings describe it as talc-free, paraben-free and gluten-free. Check the jar you receive, as Kama Sutra notes ingredients can change.
