Spice it up: Do I smell love?
Filed under: Relationships
Scents play an important part in conjuring up those love vibes. In fact, particular scents have been used for lovemaking ever since people were running around Rome in togas. There is a scientific basis to it – the olfactory part of the brain is very close to the part that drives sexual desires.
To set the romantic scene, choose aromas that you both find appealing. Some scents are known to stimulate desire. Some to try: rose, jasmine, patchouli, ylang ylang and sandalwood. Our friends at DIY Life have a couple of great recipes for room scents and body oils, if you're the DIY type. Mix and match to make your own scent. Eventually, just the smallest whiff will get you in the mood.
