Our search for better sex – is never-ending. For thousands of years lovers have been on the look out for all kinds of magic substances, foods, activities and herbs helping to influence their erotic life. Today these substances are known as aphrodisiacs. Named after Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of sexual love and sensuality, an aphrodisiac is anything that turns you on. The most powerful of aphrodisiacs are those influencing our physiological and psychological state, in other words, body and mind. And it is believed that SCENTS have such a powerful effect...

Why scents worth all of the fuss?

Scent is nature’s secret weapon of pleasure that works naturally and every time. Using scents and fragrances we can influence each other’s sensuality and even activate sexual feelings. The idea is that through inhalation, aphrodisiac fragrances impact on our physiological and energetic centers. I know that it has been scientifically proven that scent has a key importance when it comes to sexual attraction. Some scents are overpoweringly arousing aphrodisiacs for women. Some scents can bewitch the most sober men.

When I inhale even the slightest scent of a men’s perfume with hints of coffee or tobacco notes, or perfume based on sea notes, this is not only a sheer delight for me – there starts a revolution in me. It unblocks all restraints.

Ever noticed the reaction of a woman taking a bouquet of fragrant flowers or inhaling the aroma of chocolate, vanilla, oranges, for example? Unconsciously, she becomes playful, amicable and as a result easily influenced by you. Got the trick of it? It is called aromachology. In such a way, unintentionally we use the power of aromachology or psycho-aromatherapy, the study of the the influence of aromas on mood and behavior! And the scents which have aphrodisiac properties are a part of sexual aromachology. Did you know that? Could you imagine scents are our daily companions and “secret” helpers in the bedroom?

All smells and aromas, from natural body scents to sexually exciting fragrances offered by Mother Nature, play a special role in intimate relationships. Among the many fragrances and aromatic oils that have been reputed to have aphrodisiac qualities are the sweet flavors of cinnamon, bergamot, cedarwood, chocolate, vanilla, lavender, roses, patchouli.



Certain scents and oils are considered to have more powerful aphrodisiac effects.

Basil is known as an aphrodisiac with sweet energizing aroma. Basil can arouse the basic sexual instincts. The essential oil of basil is used for reawakening a sexual relationship, for erotic massage, and as an aphrodisiac for seduction. Blends with bergamot and clary sage.

Jasmine is a heady floral scent and aphrodisiac for both sexes. Due to powerful erogenous effect, it is the most famous fragrance in the perfume industry. The power of jasmine scent is used for gaining the affection and influencing one’s choice. Jasmine fragrance also boosts libido, self-esteem and sexual interest. Note, never use jasmine oil and perfume during pregnancy. Blends with sandalwood, citrus oils and rose.

So what do you do with aphrodisiac scents and oils? These scents and oils can be used alone or in special blends to create the type of sexual atmosphere you want. Use these oils and mixtures for erotic massage. To set the mood, apply aphrodisiac essential oils in oil burners (as an example: 5 drops rose, 5 drops mandarin, 5 drops jasmine; one more mixture: 2 drops rose, 2 drops sandalwood, 3 drops mandarine). A few drops of your favorite oil can be used to fragrance the bathing water. Bergamot oil can be worn on palm of each hand for bewitching potential lovers.

Scent is a big deal. To women, especially. It can make us feel and react a certain way. Personally, I do not disregard the power of fragrances as aphrodisiacs…
