Offer them sensuality 

In the spirit of Valentine's Day and romance, here are our favorite aphrodisiac essential oils and some tips on how to use them!

Ylang Ylang

The most famous aphrodisiac scent is Ylang Ylang essential oil. Its calming, floral scent encourages sexual attraction and increases libido by increasing sexual desire. This product enhances circulation and reduces worry, fear, anger, and anxiety - all things that contribute to an increase in libido. Ylang ylang's sweet floral aroma has a relaxing effect, which makes it popular for romance as well as promoting feelings of ecstasy. This exotic fragrance is believed to help relieve stress and increase relaxation. 

Did you know? In Asian countries, newlyweds traditionally scatter petals of the ylang ylang flower on their beds.

Useful tip! During important discussions with your partner, diffuse it to encourage deeper connection and reduce tension.

Cinnamon

Cinnamon essential oil is warming and therapeutic, supporting circulation and libido. This spice has a wide range of benefits, including being a sexual stimulant. This scent stimulates the immune system as well as promoting sexual harmony. Cinnamon encourages a healthy reproductive system and assists in the healing of sexual issues. In addition to being warming, it also increases blood flow and circulation, both of which are crucial for achieving a healthy state of arousal. An excellent libido booster!

Lavender

A popular scent, lavender essential oil has a range of benefits. Its benefits are numerous when it comes to libido and passion, as it promotes peace, produces calm feelings, is incredibly soothing and simply sets a positive mood, bursting with passion and tenderness! 

Bergamot

Bergamot oil is the oil of self-acceptance. As it stimulates and opens up the energy system, it creates a feeling of self-acceptance that spills over to others. Research suggests that bergamot diffused in water may help reduce negative feelings such as anxiety, depression, stress, and tension. As a citrus oil it is energizing and focusing. Your mind may be all over the place and making it hard for you to relax and get in the mood. Bergamot can calm your thoughts and help you relax. 

Tip: Bergamot also works well with woodsy oils (that can stimulate his arousal) like cypress and pine.

Orange, grapefruit or lemon

As with bergamot, wild orange and/or lemon are highly energizing citrus oils. When you're feeling sluggish or disinterested, these scents can be like a little dose of sunshine! 

Tip: This is a great selection of scents to use in oil blends.

Peppermint 

When it comes to making things more exciting in the bedroom, peppermint is a popular choice because it gives skin a cooling, tingling sensation! In addition, it is an oil that focuses and energises. 

Use a few drops of this oil in a carrier oil like Jojoba to create a sensual massage oil! Just keep it away from sensitive parts of your body!
