Provocative vetiver brings the warmth, and lovely lavender brings the sweet, producing an earthy, smoky, exotic aroma with light grassy-floral undertones and a unisex appeal. It mellows on the skin, blossoming into an oh-so-sultry scent. Couples with a high-stress lifestyle will find this aphrodisiacal blend much to their liking, as it delivers calming, grounding, and centering properties while stirring flames of passion.
Ingredients
- 36 drops lavender essential oil
- 28 drops vetiver essential oil
- 1 cup jojoba oil (or sunflower or almond oil)
- 1,000 IU vitamin E oil
To Make
Combine the lavender and vetiver essential oils in an 8-ounce glass or plastic storage bottle. Add the jojoba oil and vitamin E. Screw the top on the bottle and shake vigorously to blend the ingredients. Label the bottle and place in a dark location at room temperature (between 60° and 80°F) for 24 hours so the oils can synergize. Store at room temperature, away from heat and light; use within 2 years (or within 1 year if you used sunflower or almond oil as the base).
To Use
Shake well before each use. Apply whenever you wish, whether for massage or as a deeply penetrating body oil. For use as a bath oil, add 1 tablespoon to running water, step in, and luxuriate in earthly blissfulness!
