Whether used in a diffuser, spritzed on the linens, worn as a perfume or used as an intimate massage oil, essential oils have long been known as potent aphrodisiacs, increasing sexual desire and heightening intimacy.

Soothing Himalayan Cedarwood essential oil produces a calming effect on the mind and body. Alone, the potent oil enhances sensuality, increasing the power of attraction to create a romantic moment with plenty of spark.
