East India has a rich tradition of intertwining scent, sensuality, and spirituality. The following snippet illuminates the role of scent in love play. It is taken from the classic Indian poem Ritusanhara. "Lovers lie together on their girdled, round hips covered with silken robes, or on sandalwood anointed breasts, heavy with ornaments. They seek help from fragrant flowers, set in coiffures after a bath, to intoxicate and delight their lovers."
A beautiful expression of this energy is from the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, "in the embrace of his beloved, a man forgets the whole world, everything both within and without." "In the very same way, he who embraces the Self knows neither within nor without."
For a moment, close your eyes and take in the warm scented erotism, intwined with spirituality and deep connection, in your minds eye. The following blend brings this languid energy of exploring with delight your beloved into your life.

The orchid has a potent energy and historically has been associated with fertility and sexuality. In ancient Greece, orchids were associated with virility. In fact, Greek women believed that if the father of their unborn child ate large, new orchid tubers, the baby would be a boy. If the mother ate small orchid tubers, she would give birth to a girl. Gaius Plinius Secundus (AD 23/24 – 79) known, as Pliny the Elder was a Roman author, a naturalist and natural philosopher, claimed that even holding the roots of an orchid would stimulate one to ecstasy.
The Latin word for orchid is orchis, which comes from the Greek orkhis, meaning testicle, because of the twin bulbs resembling testicles. The Romans believed that orchids came into being when Satyrs (a male nature spirit with ears and a tail resembling those of a horse, as well as a permanent, exaggerated erection) spilled their seed upon the earth.
