Aphrodisiac essential oils are basically the essential oils that promote the sense and feelings of romance. There are some essential oils that are known for centuries as an aphrodisiacs and that have proven its actions.
Rose essential oils is the first one that comes in mind whenever you think of romance. And there is no surprise in it. The aroma is very sensual and feminine. The scent of rose essential oil is very complex with a lot of aromatic layers in it, it’s like a perfume from the nature. You can smell first a very rosy floral scent, then it becomes deep and rich in its nature, sweet and warm, very inviting and sensual. Rose is one of the most colorful and beautiful middle notes. It blends literally with almost any other essential oil.
Jasmine essential oil has very intense floral scent, it is very rich and warm, heavy and fruity, absolutely very sensual and feminine, it is also narcotic. It is a middle note in perfumery.

It is a thick essential oil and is better used in massage oil blends, body oils, or perfumes. It is wonderful base note that is a long lasting on its own and is also often used as a fixative for other oils in a blend.
