Aphrodisiac Scents

Wonder what candle or oil fragrances are known as aphrodisiac scents? To be clear, I am referring to an agent (such as a scent) that arouses or is held to arouse sexual desire.

which scents are aphrodisiacs?

I am not making any medical claims, nor am I talking about aromatherapy. I’m merely sharing what aromas have been reported to be aphrodisiac scents that tend to get them in the mood for love. Reported by whom? The elusive internet, of course.

A wide variety of fragrances have been reported to have qualities of aphrodisiac scents, with some having more scientific research to support the claims than others. Individual responses to scents can vary greatly, and the power of a scent often lies in its ability to evoke a positive mood, reduce stress, or create a romantic ambiance.

The most commonly reported aphrodisiac scents:

Sweet and Gourmand Scents

  • Vanilla: Often cited as a natural aphrodisiac, vanilla has a warm, comforting, and sweet aroma that is believed to create feelings of euphoria and relaxation. Some studies have shown that it can increase arousal in men.
  • Pumpkin Pie & Lavender: This specific combination has been cited in a study to have a significant stimulating effect on men. Researchers speculate that this may be due to the vanilla and cinnamon in the pie, combined with the relaxing effect of lavender.
  • Cinnamon: This warming spice has a long history as an aphrodisiac. Its spicy and sweet aroma is believed to increase blood flow and can be used to create a passionate atmosphere.
  • Black Licorice: While divisive, the scent of black licorice (anise) has been shown in some studies to increase arousal in men, particularly when combined with other scents like doughnuts.

Floral Scents

  • Jasmine: Known as the “perfume of love” in some cultures, jasmine has a rich, sweet, and intoxicating aroma. It is believed to increase alertness and improve mood, which can contribute to a heightened libido.
  • Ylang-Ylang: This tropical flower has a strong, sweet, and slightly fruity scent. It’s known for its ability to reduce anxiety and promote feelings of euphoria, which can help set a sensual mood.
  • Rose: A timeless symbol of love and romance, rose scents are believed to reduce stress and boost confidence, helping to create a relaxing environment for intimacy.
  • Lavender: While often associated with relaxation, the scent of lavender can also be arousing. It is thought to both calm the mind and body while also stimulating desire.
  • Lily of the Valley: This delicate floral scent is used in many perfumes and has been suggested to have potent aphrodisiac effects.

Earthy and Woody Scents

  • Sandalwood: Used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine, sandalwood has a warm, woody, and creamy aroma. It is often touted for its relaxing and antidepressant properties, which can help create an intimate and trusting atmosphere.
  • Patchouli: With a musky and earthy scent, patchouli has been linked to sensuality and romance for centuries. It’s believed to stimulate the release of endorphins and increase blood flow, which can enhance arousal.
  • Musk/Ambrette: These scents have warm, animalistic aromas that are thought to have pheromone-like properties, enhancing attraction and desire. Ambrette, also known as musk mallow, is a plant-based alternative to animal musk.

Spicy and Citrus Scents

  • Ginger: The warm and spicy scent of ginger has a long history as an aphrodisiac. It is believed to be a circulatory stimulant, which can aid in blood flow to the sexual organs.
  • Orange/Neroli: The scent of orange has been shown to increase blood flow to sexual organs in some studies. Citrus scents in general are known to boost mood and reduce anxiety, making a person more receptive to stimuli.
  • Peppermint: This crisp and invigorating scent is believed to awaken the senses, increase alertness, and stimulate the brain, which can contribute to arousal.
  • Pink Grapefruit: The scent of pink grapefruit is believed by some to be particularly alluring and can also help boost mood and reduce anxiety.

What kind of fragrance oils are used in Scentsy Wickless Candle Bars?

Scentsy uses both synthetic and naturally derived fragrance oils to achieve the highest quality and longest-lasting bar. Synthetic oils are used for several reasons, including:

*When using natural oils results in unrestrained use of limited or endangered natural resources.

*When it isn’t possible to derive the natural oils from nature. For example, synthetic oil is necessary to reproduce lily of the valley because fragrance cannot be extracted from this flower through typical extraction methods.

*When it is cost prohibitive to acquire natural oils and would preclude Scentsy from offering particular fragrances without increasing the price for customers.

What kind of wax is used to make Scentsy Wickless Candle Bars?

We use a custom, high-quality paraffin wax blend designed to give you long-lasting fragrance and selected for its scent loading ability, melting point and firmness.

Why doesn’t Scentsy use a soy- or vegetable-based wax?

Soy- or vegetable-based waxes can produce a quality wicked candle, but not a quality wickless candle.

Are Scentsy Wickless Candle Bars safe?

Scentsy Wickless Candle Bars are safer than wicked candles because no flame is required for the wax to melt and release fragrance. Since the wax is warmed and not burned as with traditional candles, no harmful chemicals or pollutants are released into the air. With Scentsy, there is no flame, smoke, soot or lead.

Do Scentsy Wickless Candle Bars contain harmful phthalates?

Scentsy Wickless Candle Bars do not contain or release harmful phthalates. A small percentage of Scentsy Wickless Candle Bar fragrances contain extremely low levels of non-harmful diethyl phthalate (DEP), commonly used in fragrances to help blend ingredients and to make fragrances last longer. DEP is thoroughly tested and is consistently regarded as safe for use in fragrance by several government bodies including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the European Union Scientific Committee on Consumer Products (SCCP). Scentsy follows all safety standards regulating the use of DEP set by the International Fragrance Association (IFRA).

Are the fragrance ingredients Scentsy uses in their products safe?

Yes! We want you to enjoy our fragrances with total confidence, so we consistently adhere to all local and international regulations. This includes guidelines established by the International Fragrance Association and the Research Institute for Fragrance Materials, which evaluate fragrance ingredients and set standards for fragrance development.

Why can’t I smell my favorite Scentsy Wickless Candle Bar anymore?

Occasionally, you can become immune to a scent or fragrance note by simply warming it too frequently. For example, if you warm cinnamon fragrances all year, your nose may actually begin to filter out the smell of cinnamon. By switching out your Scentsy fragrances regularly, you can prevent this from happening.

Each fragrance has a different level of scent throw depending on the fragrance oil composition. Factors such as weather, humidity, ventilation systems and elevation may alter scent throw.

*Weather and humidity: At higher temperatures, there will be more water vapor in the air. When fragrance and water molecules bind together, the water weighs fragrance down, creating less diffusion of the fragrance into the air. When there is less moisture in the air, fragrance has better diffusion and can be perceived as stronger.

*Environment: Large rooms, ceiling fans and flooring may affect how scent dissipates, as can open windows and ventilation systems.

*Certain fragrance notes can be perceived as stronger than others based on their molecular structure and your sense of smell. For example, citrus notes are top notes and can be considered stronger because your nose detects these notes first. In contrast, musk notes are base notes and are used to create harmony within a fragrance. You can expect citrus-dominant fragrances to be perceived as stronger than musky ones.
