I Tried Studio Ready’s Sex Drive, and My Neighbor Noticed

Let’s talk about sex. How’s your sex drive? Now that I have your undivided attention, if you’re someone who loves to feel grown and sexy, this one’s for you. Guaranteed? I can’t say that with a straight face, but I’m confident. After the reactions I got, you could be glowing and smelling good, and either you won’t be able to keep your hands to yourself or someone will be taking you home for a test drive.

Disclosure: Studio Ready sent me these products for free to review. The opinions are mine.

My Sex Drive just got an upgrade, and it comes in a bottle. Studio Ready is a Miami brand founded in 2017 by Alex Gimenez. It describes its skincare and fragrance as aphrodisiac, and one of its lines is literally called Sex Drive. Eau de Parfum, body scrub, body oil and deodorant. I got all four, so I took them out on a Friday night to see who would notice.

The brand’s PR contact reached out after the OVAH MAG relaunch. I don’t like writing about something I haven’t tried, so I asked them to send Sex Drive, which fits our After Dark section.

I have to be honest. I’m loving the smell of Sex Drive. But let’s do this in order.

The scrub

The scrub works, and I enjoyed it. I’ve used it on my face since I got it, and each time my face feels like it’s glowing and smoother.

Per Studio Ready, it’s an exfoliant. You should use it two to three times a week on wet skin, rinse well, and stop if irritation occurs.

I even used a little on the palms of my hands. I have roughness in the middle of my hands that lotion hasn’t been able to fix. They came out so soft and smooth that night I couldn’t keep my hands to myself.

I used it on my face and on my feet too. The results left me ready for anyone to touch my body.

The body oil

I’m a fan of the body oil, with one heads-up. It’s on the oily side, so after you apply it, make sure your hands are clear of any residual oil. For my skin tone, I need to use a little more. With lotion, a couple of dabs usually cover me. With the oil, I used more product to cover my body and get those extra spots. Overall, my skin looked good. The oil made me shine.

Here’s what’s in it. It’s made from rice bran, sunflower, jojoba, marula and apricot kernel oils, plus vitamin E.

The deodorant

I’m not a fan of perfumed deodorants. They don’t last, and all you get is a heavy perfume smell. I was a little nervous to wear it. This one is quite different. It stays. The next day I had no body odor. That’s my biggest concern with deodorant, and this one lasted. I was pleasantly surprised.

It’s an aluminum-free spray that uses zinc ricinoleate to neutralize odor. It’s a deodorant, not an antiperspirant, so you’ll still sweat.

The Eau de Parfum

It was a Friday night and I was heading out to meet a friend. It was the perfect chance to spray on some Sex Drive. I was feeling grown and sexy, and I wanted to see what kind of response I’d get.

The scent is very masculine. It has a musk and leather smell. Studio Ready lists the notes as woody, amber and smoky. It’s perfect for the winter.

When I got off the elevator, one of my neighbors was in the lobby. She said, “Hmm, you look good and smell good.” Right then I figured people would be smelling me.

A friend of mine from Barcelona was in town, and I hadn’t seen him in two years, so we met up for dinner. The second we saw each other, I gave him a hug. He said, “What are you wearing? You smell so good.”

“Oh, you’re smelling my Sex Drive.”

He looked at me like, what?

“Yeah, you’re smelling my Sex Drive.”

I started laughing.

Verdict: I’d buy these for myself. The quality is there, and the musk and leather smell was made for winter. The names are fun, too. Sex Drive gets the OVAH Seal of Approval, and yes, we hand that seal out ourselves.

Where to find them: studioready.com. Sex Drive Eau de Parfum ($165), Sex Drive Spray Deodorant ($45), Sex Drive Erogenous Body Scrub ($65), Sex Drive Erogenous Body Oil ($75).

Thank you to the team over at Studio Ready and to their PR contact, Jen Squilla, for being kind enough to send me all four products to test out. My neighbor and my friend from Barcelona noticed.
