Romance perfume oils can be made for pure pleasure, to entice men, and other reasons with oils like patchouli oil, sandalwood essential oil, vanilla oil, and ylang ylang mixed in Jojoba oil rather than perfume from perfume manufacturers. Jojoba oil is used often by aromatherapists to extend the life of blends, often with the wonderful aroma of ylang ylang essential oil.

Aromas have been used throughout time for numerous purposes. The Egyptians, Greeks and Romans made blends for seduction, to appease the gods, for holiday cheer, to promote aggression before battle, and to encourage thoughtful concentration. Scents have lured the opposite sex  for hundreds of years. King George III forbid the use of perfume as a form of enchantment in the 1700s after becoming aware women with poor reputaions used it to entice men. Science has proven today that perfume does indeed have the power to allure, which is the very reason perfume manufacturers formulate blends.  

Some scents stimulate romance, others business activity. Scents transport messages as they pass through the olfactory nerves and come in contact with the limbic system within the brain termed "old brain".  The limbic system manages spontaneous emotional, sexual, and aggressive reponses. The aroma of jasmine, vanilla, and ylang ylang have the ability to stimulate neurochemical secretions that can cause a sexual reaction. Aroma choices may be affected by pheromones, hardly detectable aromatic molecules present in perspiration.  

Male pheromones, which have a musk-like characteristic due to their acidity, are chemically similar to musk and sandalwood. Because of similar chemical structures to male pheromones, these scents may help women to be amorously attracted to men. Jasmine, patchouli oil, sandalwood essential oil, and ylang ylang perfume blends are often used for allure by aromatherapists. Essential oils are used not only to attract the opposite sex, but  to inspire, and for pure pleasure.

Blend Natural Fragrances
The goal of a winning blend is an "aromatic symphony" that merges the top, middle, and base notes harmoniously. Top notes are sharp, last only briefly, and are the first to appear and disappear. Midway through the drying, the middle notes designate the body and melody. The base notes extend the deep, rich scent. 

Perfume blends may be made by swirling the essential oils together and adding them to a vegetable oil. Jojoba oil works very well as a base since it is in reality a wax that doesn't go bad and will extend the blend's life. Click for a perfume blend recipe.
