Welcome to the first-ever FriYAY! Each weekend, we will showcase three of our amazing products and teach you all about what makes them special and how to put them to use. Plus, you’ll get a discount. That’s a lot to get excited about, so let’s dive in to this week’s FriYAY (Romance Edition).
With Valentine’s Day just a few days away, there’s no better time to shop for some essentials that will make your evening truly special: Sensual, Marvelous Massage, and Rose Absolute.
Sensual
This essential oil blend was created with one purpose in mind: to help couples set a romantic mood in the bedroom. Scents already play a powerful role in setting an atmosphere and sparking pleasant memories. Using essential oils for their natural aroma and therapeutic benefits will only enhance the experience.
The romantic, rich scents of Sensual help you get in the mood by promoting relaxation and stimulating the senses. The floral overtones of Ylang Ylang Complete and Jasmine Absolute give way to the more subtle, woody notes of Australian Sandalwood and Patchouli. Orange Sweet and Lavender round out the blend for an overall balance. The result is a blend that helps you achieve that sexy, feel-good ambiance you’re looking for on your romantic evening in.
In addition to having a rich, pleasing aroma that will help set the mood, the essential oils included in this blend offer their own therapeutic properties to enhance your night. Ylang Ylang, with a cheerful and exotic scent, can help ease worry and stress while promoting a positive outlook. Sandalwood and Patchouli offer their traditionally romantic scents while helping create a calm, relaxing atmosphere.
How to Use
Add a drop or two of Sensual to your diffuser to help set a romantic atmosphere. It also works well in a massage oil (more on that later) or other body care products like lotion or perfume. Just dilute to 2-4% in a carrier oil or lotion.

Marvelous Massage
This carrier oil blend is seriously one of our favorites! The name says it all, this blend was created specifically for bodywork. Once you try it, you won’t want to use any other massage oil. It can be used by itself, but also makes an ideal base for your favorite essential oils. If you’re wanting to be a bit adventurous this Valentine’s, Marvelous Massage can help turn your ordinary massage into an extraordinary sensual massage. Just remember, if you’re using EO’s in your sensual massage oil not to get it in any *ahem* sensitive areas.
Marvelous Massage contains Almond Carrier Oil, which softens and conditions dry, irritated skin. Fractionated Coconut Carrier Oil provides great “slip” and Jojoba Golden Carrier Oil has excellent sebum balancing abilities. Meadowfoam Carrier Oil has superior moisturizing properties and Sunflower Carrier Oil is rich in Vitamins A, B, D and E. The combination of these oils will not only help create an excellent massage experience but also nourish and soften the skin.

Rose Absolute
Instead of a dozen red roses, get your honey something that will last much longer and smell just as sweet: Rose Absolute. This essential oil has a sweet, rich, floral aroma that smells like its floral counterpart. Plant Therapy’s Rose Absolute comes from the Rosa x centifolia, commonly called the Cabbage Rose or Rose Maroc. It’s an old-fashioned style rose, with many layers of thin pink petals, that thrives in long, hot Moroccan summers.
This beautiful oil is prized for its ability to promote relaxation before sleep. It also helps soothe emotions and bring calm in the midst of fresh grief, making it useful for emotionally turbulent times. Rose Absolute is also a great oil to add to your skincare routine! Whether your skin is inflamed, dehydrated, dull or just needs some love, Rose can help. It’s great for all skin types but is especially wonderful for dry, mature, and sensitive skin.
How to Use
Add 2-3 drops to your diffuser and enjoy the fresh floral aroma and the calming, soothing benefits. To take advantage of the skin-loving goodness of Rose Absolute, dilute to 0.5-1% for facial applications or dilute up 2% for full-body applications.
