What makes a good oil for a sensual massage? Three things: glide, feel and scent. The oil needs to let hands travel over the skin without dragging. It should not leave a heavy, greasy coat that makes you want to shower straight away. And the fragrance should set a mood without being harsh. Shunga's Island Blossoms oil is a 100 percent natural, scented oil made for this purpose. It contains vitamin E, uses no mineral oil and is listed as non-greasy and as not clogging pores.

How to use
Pour a small pool of oil into your palm and rub your hands together to warm it. Smooth it over your partner's back, shoulders or legs with long strokes, adding more oil when your hands begin to drag. Lay down a towel first to protect sheets. This is a massage oil for the skin, not a personal lubricant, and oils should be kept away from latex condoms.

- Store upright in a cool place, away from direct sunlight.

Frequently asked questions
Does it leave skin greasy?
The maker describes the oil as gliding easily without leaving a greasy residue, and lists it as non-greasy. Using a little at a time and adding more only when needed gives the cleanest finish.
Can I use it as a lubricant?
It is sold as a massage oil for the body. The product information makes no lubricant or condom claims. As general guidance, oils should not be used with latex condoms, so choose a dedicated lubricant for sex.
What does Island Blossoms smell like?
The product information describes the Shunga oils as having intoxicating fragrances and lists this one as scented, but it does not break the scent down into notes. The name points to a floral, tropical style.
