Is lavender a good scent for a couples massage? Lavender is one of the most familiar massage scents, and many people associate it with winding down in the evening. That makes it an easy choice when you do not know your partner's taste in fragrance. Shunga's Sensation pairs lavender with a base of cold-pressed almond, grapeseed, sesame seed, avocado and safflower oils. The blend is made to slide smoothly over skin, and the maker says it does not feel greasy.

Frequently asked questions
Is the lavender scent strong?
The maker does not rate the strength. The fragrance comes from essential oil extracts, and the scent will be most noticeable when the oil is warmed between the hands and spread over a large area.
Does it contain nut oils?
Yes. Cold-pressed almond oil is the first oil named in the blend, and sesame seed oil is also included. Anyone with a nut or sesame allergy should choose a different massage product.
How does Sensation differ from Desire?
The oil blend described by the distributor is the same for both. Sensation is scented with lavender and Desire with vanilla, so choose between a herbal and a sweet fragrance.
