There are classes of fragrance which have an effect on mood. In this article we will discuss how you may be able to mix carrier oils with scented oils to get a specific reaction from your partner. You can use fragrance oils to make a massage sensual, calming, or invigorating. Massage and fragrance are just two parts of an overall package which will include sights, and sounds.

You may use music and situational awareness along with scented oils to gain the desired effect on your subject when you are giving a massage. Colors should also play a major role. If you are giving a sensual or relaxing massage you will use soft lights and soft colors to help your partner to relax or to put him or her in a relaxed or romantic mood. Blue and green are relaxing colors while red will definitely invigorate. As a general rule bright lights and colors invigorate and soft lights and pastel colors help to set a more subdued mood.

Since the brain remembers fragrances you can train your partner to feel aroused or invigorated by the fragrance that you wear. For example, if your partner first associates a fragrance that you wear with a really good time that you had together each time he or she smells that scent on you they will subconsciously associate it with that time. This will train them to respond to that particular scent the same way as when they first smelled it. The drawback is that they will associate the fragrance the same way with whoever is wearing it.

The human brain detects fragrance with the olfactory receptors which are located in the back of the nose. These receptors are connected to the limbic system which controls emotions. When the receptors detect scent they are actually analyzing molecules of the actual substance found in the scented oil. Different substances have different effects on the human brain thus causing emotion. We suggest that you mix the scented oils with pure natural carrier oils to give a better overall effect. The carrier oils are will nourish the body and the skin while the fragrant oils will elicit a pleasant reaction. This is also the reason that you should wear a pleasant fragrance at all times. The fragrance will cause a pleasant response from people when you are around them. This will cause people to always have a good perception of you.

Now I bet that you have been waiting for me to educate you to the fragrances to use for the effect that you wish to elicit from your partner. They are: 1) Romantic Scents, Egyptian musk (this is my personal add), sandalwood (this is a good fragrance to use as a base to add others to), jasmine (very pleasant), rose, and gardenia. 2) Calming Scents, lavender, sandalwood (notice how this scent falls in two categories), bergamont, and chamomile. 3) Refreshing Scents, eucalyptus, mint, pine. 4) Energizing Scents, peppermint, all citrus scents, verbena. When you are considering the effect that you want to achieve consider two things. The first is which fragrances from each class and how much of each one. The next thing that you want to consider is how pleasant is the fragrance? You don’t want to use something in your massage oil (such as eucalyptus) which is unpleasant to the smell.
