Are citrus scents suitable for massage? They are, particularly when you want a massage that feels fresh instead of sleepy. Most massage oils lean on lavender, vanilla or musk. A citrus scent lifts the mood of the room and works well in the morning or before going out. Intimate Earth's Awake combines pink grapefruit with black pepper for what the maker calls an invigorating setting. The oil blend itself uses natural oils and certified organic extracts.
Awake: a citrus and pepper massage oil
Awake is Intimate Earth's black pepper and pink grapefruit aromatherapy massage oil. The blend contains natural oils and certified organic extracts and is meant to create an invigorating setting for massage. The maker also recommends it as a body oil after a bath or shower for soft skin, and states that it will not stain sheets. The bottle holds 4 oz.
Best for: For couples who like massage earlier in the day or as a warm-up to a night out, and for people who prefer zesty scents over sweet ones. It doubles as an after-shower body oil. The 4 oz bottle packs easily.

Frequently asked questions
What does Awake smell like?
Black pepper and pink grapefruit. The maker describes the effect as invigorating, so expect a bright, zesty citrus with a touch of spice instead of a soft or sweet fragrance.
Will the oil ruin my bedding?
Intimate Earth states the oil will not stain sheets. A towel under the body is still a good habit with any massage oil, especially on light or delicate fabrics. Wash linens as usual.
How is it different from the Honey Almond oil?
Both are 4 oz Intimate Earth aromatherapy massage oils that can be used daily after a shower. Awake has the fresh pink grapefruit and black pepper scent; Honey Almond is sweet and mild.
