What is the advantage of a massage candle over bottled massage oil? A bottle of oil goes on at room temperature, which can feel cold on bare skin. A massage candle warms the oil for you as it burns. This Shunga mini candle is soy based, and the maker says the melted oil is lukewarm to the touch. You also get the scent and the light of a candle in the room beforehand. And because it is solid until lit, it travels without the risk of a leaking bottle.
Mini Massage Candle in Desire, Vanilla Fetish
Desire is the Vanilla Fetish scent in Shunga's range of mini massage candles. This 1 fl oz candle is soy based and uses 100% natural oils. Burn it for atmosphere, then use the melted pool as a lukewarm oil for a sensual massage. The maker says the oil leaves skin soft and silky and will not clog pores. The candle has a burn time of up to 7 hours and is sized for travel.
Best for: For people who prefer warm, sweet scents over florals or fruit. A good small gift, and a practical choice for trips, since a solid candle is easier to pack than a bottle of oil. It burns for up to 7 hours.
