With warm, honey-like undertones that can be described as seductive, this oil is said to help decrease distress, to enhance a positive outlook, and to improve focus, confidence, and relaxation. Jasmine Absolute has earned its rank among the stimulants that are referred to as aphrodisiacs, making it ideal for those who need help overcoming the anxiety that can contribute to sensual dysfunction.

 

5. SANDALWOOD ORGANIC ESSENTIAL OIL: With a warm, smoothe, and soft yet lingering creamy, woodsy scent, this sensual oil is reputed to be a popular fragrance ingredient in men’s products.

Its centering effect helps to redirect the focus of the wandering mind away from the chaos of day-to-day nuisances, making it perfect for an intimate night between two lovers.

 

8. FRANKINCENSE ORGANIC ESSENTIAL OIL: The deep, rich, mature scent of this resin inspires a sense of warmth that is reminiscent of the precious wood from which it is derived. Musty, sultry, and luxurious, the oil has undertones of cooling mint, exhibiting a clarifying effect on the mind. As it works to calm and comfort, Frankincense Oil helps to release the daily worries, instead encouraging peace and giving free rein to more passionate thoughts.

 

9. PATCHOULI ORGANIC ESSENTIAL OIL: The deep, earthy, full-bodied aroma of Patchouli Oil has a warm and long-lasting quality that mellows and soothes emotional intensity, increasing feelings of comfort, security, and well-being. The classy and formal yet simultaneously casual nuance of this hypnotic scent creates a penetrating atmosphere of mystery, which tends to be associated with intimacy and sensuality. This grounding and balancing oil is the ideal choice for a romantic rainy night.
