Mixed opinions on taste and blood red color makes for a bad match [SEP] Hubs says it tastes like Halloween blood capsules, but it tastes like strawberry candy syrup to me. It *is* as some reviews mentioned, a disturbing blood red color (supporting hub's opinion). The "brush" worked okayish, but is a piece of foam tied to bamboo, so it's pretty one time use. Can't speak of aphrodisiac effects, as hubs doesn't like the taste, and he's too hairy for me to try it on.<br />The bottle and presentation is very nice though.
