Candles are an excellent way to turn a bland environment into a sexy and romantic one. Many fragrances are designed to evoke different emotions, and they work quite well at doing so. Scent is a powerful thing and has the power to make someone feel sexy, turned on, or calm. But can certain scents really act as an aphrodisiac?
Just like foods can boost sexual desire to men and women, scent can as well. Many perfumes and fragranced body products are designed to do just that very thing. Candle fragrances can act similarly if their scent is potent enough.
Chocolate candle scents are known to be one of the most powerful fragrances. Studies suggest that smelling chocolate alone can increase sexual desire and boost your overall mood. You get all of the benefits of a dark chocolate bar – but none of the calories or fat! How amazing is that for candle and chocolate lovers? Chocolate is also a delicious scent that may trigger your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, or wife to say “Yum what do we have here?”
Another fragrance would be strawberry or exotic scents. Strawberry is particularly interesting because it can go one way or the other. For some people it makes them happy and giddy, but others become quite aroused at the smell of delicious strawberries. Passionflower scents are also great for summertime, and may make you feel more aroused and attracted to your spouse. These are a simple yet sneaky way to create an alluring environment without taking a pill or using food to act as a mood booster.
Exotic scents are likely one of the most sensual. Deep amber, bergamot, and “spicy” things tend to make people feel more sexy and sensual. Many perfumes do this as well, but a candle can emanate through the entire home, making each room fill your head with a beautiful rich scent. This causes a spark in your brain, which tells your body to respond by acting a certain way.
The best part is that soy candles hold their scent quite well. Since many soy based votives and jar candles tend to use natural fragrances, the overall effect is higher than with an inferior candle variety. If you want to boost your mood and create an aphrodisiac for sensual moments then these are highly recommended for your bedroom or bathroom – or anywhere else for that matter.
