Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy here means scented body products rather than the lubes and toys nearby: massage oils, massage candles, kissable shower gels and body mists from Shunga, Sensuva, Earthly Body and Kama Sutra. The main thing to weigh is whether you want a scent to wear and share through touch or a product built for internal use.

Aromatherapy Buying Guide
Most of the range is meant for skin contact outside the body. Massage oils and massage candles are the core, and they differ mainly in how they are used: a candle melts into a warm pool you can pour onto skin, while a bottled oil is easier to control and suits longer sessions. Kama Sutra and Shunga make up much of the stock, so comparing their oils side by side is a quick way to see how scent strength and bottle size vary across the line.
Kissable shower gels, body mists and pheromone perfumes work as lead-ins rather than massage tools. A shower gel is for before you get together, a mist is a light top layer you can reapply, and a perfume is the most concentrated option when you want one scent to stay with you. Pick the format first, then choose the fragrance that suits you, since sweet fruit and dessert notes read very differently from woody or lavender ones.
Massage in a Box sets and pre-pack bundles suit a shopper who wants a mix of formats without choosing each one. If you are buying for a partner and unsure which scent they like, a sampler or a set with several fragrances is the easiest way to find out. Otherwise, a single oil in a familiar scent is a simple place to start.
Aromatherapy FAQ
- What is the difference between aromatherapy massage oil and a massage candle?
- A massage oil is poured from a bottle and applied directly, so it suits longer sessions and gives you more control over how much you use. A massage candle melts into a warm pool that you pour onto skin, which makes it feel like part of the massage itself. Both carry scent, so the choice comes down to how you prefer to apply it.
- Are scented massage oils safe to use on the whole body?
- Most scented massage oils are designed for skin contact across the body, but the bottle usually gives the intended use and ingredient list. Check the scent and any notes about the base before use, and avoid putting an oil meant for massage somewhere it was not designed to go.
- How do I choose a scent for body mists or shower gels?
- Think about how strong you want the scent to be and when you will wear it. Fruit and dessert notes like strawberry or cherry tend to be sweet and noticeable, while lavender and mint feel fresher and lighter. Mists are easiest for a subtle top layer, and a shower gel gives the scent a base before you put on anything else.
- Are pheromone perfumes the same as scented massage oils?
- No. A pheromone perfume is a fragrance you wear on the skin, designed to be a personal scent rather than a massage product. Massage oils are for applying over larger areas of skin during touch. If you want a scent to carry through the day, a perfume or body mist fits better than a massage oil.
