In a relationship, it is always important to rekindle the flames of love and desire, to look for new adventures together that will help the couple maintain that spark of love and attraction.
One of the easiest and most effective ways is the use of aphrodisiac essential oils to potentiate your love life.
Here’s a list of the aphrodisiac essential oils divided by scent types:
Spicy Scents
These oils are generally warm, like that seasoning that you add to your food for flavor. By using these oils, you are adding heat and spice to your relationship. In other words, these aromas not only warm the body but the emotions, revitalizing and igniting a loving encounter.

Floral Scents
By nature, flowers are feminine, but both men and women can use them. The flowers awaken our sensual side, they allow us to connect better with our environment, help us to appreciate more intensely what we hear, touch, smell, and taste.

How to use them
One of the best ways is to diffuse your erotic essential oils with an aromatherapy diffuser, burner or nebulizer to create a romantic and sensual atmosphere. What is the environment you want to achieve? What is the purpose? What reactions do you want to produce? This intimate moment is a playful experiment for both of you. Talk to each other and choose together what is the aroma that best identifies you as a couple.
To complement the atmosphere, it’s time to get down to business by giving each other a sensual, gentle massage, not a deep tissue massage, but a massage to awaken the senses of touch and smell.
For this you need a romantic massage oil:
- Take a bottle of Therapeutic Carrier Oil
- Add a total of 50 drops of essential oil
- To get a balanced mixture, choose a maximum of 4 essential oils.
*Black Pepper and cinnamon essential oils are irritating to the skin, it’s better to use them in the diffuser rather than in the massage oil.
Here’s an example of a romantic diffuser blend:
2 drops of black pepper
4 drops of bergamot
2 drops of rosemary
2 drops of clary sage
Here’s an example of a romantic massage oil:
15 drops of ginger
5 drops of jasmin
25 drops of orange
10 drops of basil
