Essential Oils for Sensuality & Romance

If the aphrodisiacs like chocolate, oysters, maca, and asparagus (wait, what?) are passé for the sex drive department, then try a little aromatherapy to rev those cuddly engines.

One thing is clear about aromatic odors: they are personal and subjective. What smells good to me may smell like dirty socks to you. Given this brief disclaimer, test your sniffer on these essential oils to amplify intimate moments.
