If you want to set the mood, consider the role of aroma in setting the mood for passion. Scientists studying smell believe men and women become attracted to each other due to their emission of chemicals called pheromones. Pheromones are secreted when someone is sexually aroused. When you smell pheromones, sexual arousal is a natural response.

If you want to heighten your lover’s arousal, you may want to learn about how aromas work. After our bodies detect an arousing scent (also called an aphrodisiac), that awareness travels to our brain’s limbic system. The limbic system triggers the libido and we become aroused. Here are some aroma ideas that may appeal to you:

1. Ylang-Ylang

Ylang-Ylang is one of the most powerful aphrodisiacs. Its oil is produced through the flower’s petals. Ylang-Ylang is believed to increase libido and heighten attraction to your partner. If you apply a drop of Ylang Ylang on a cotton ball near your bed, you’ll soon see an increase in desire for both of you. With a scent so powerful, you’d be ready for action. 

2. Lavender

The delicate scent of lavender is soothing and calming, allowing space for arousal. With your inhibitions lowered, you can fully express your desires. As you keep savoring the effects of these blossoms, your mood will turn warm and passionate. Relaxation will then give way to exploration.

3. Rose

The scent of roses is unmistakable. Ayurvedic yoga practitioners use rose oils to enhance the calming effects of yoga. If you’re longing for lovemaking, yet feeling slightly anxious, this may be the aroma to choose.

4. Patchouli

Exotic spices combine with musk to open the channels of comfort. Patchouli has been used for centuries to increase endorphins (the body chemical which simulates feelings of pleasure.) You can begin your night with a massage using Patchouli and let your desires take over from there.

5. Jasmine

Jasmine provides a warm, welcoming aroma that kindles a romantic spark and leads to a night of intimacy. Its flowery fragrance has an arousing effect on males and females. A Jasmine candle opens the door to a loving memory you’ll be sure to cherish.
