Perhaps necking near the woods or lake is your fondest memory? Nothing beats the tantalizing aroma of fresh Lilacs or Honeysuckle, and memory provoking it is for sure! One of the most memorable frolics of your youth might have taken place on the freshly mown lawn of a local golf course.

Be it the stronger aroma of roses or the subtle scent of lavender, many of our sensual encounters can be enhanced with just a little thought.

Make sure the bath water isn’t too warm and be sure to add a few drops of your favorite essential oils to the water. Are citrus and The South part of your honeymoon memories?

Essential oils are very concentrated so a couple drops will be enough to fill the whole room.

Want a little afternoon delight? Surprise your partner on a rainy day by suggesting a nap. Offer a back rub or foot massage after a strenuous workout. Add you or your partner’s favorite scents to enhance your touch. Don’t let a few raindrops spoil the fun.

The ideas above, combined with your own creativity, can take you on a sensual exploration from morning until night! Your love life may never be the same again, or, if the familiar is your turn-on, let the memories flow!
