February, whilst being the shortest month of the year, is also a month to get loved up and
cosy. Winter is most definitely here, yet Valentine’s Day gives us a chance to express love
and devotion - both for ourselves and for others. What better way to celebrate than by using
the decadent and rare tuberose oil, polianthes tuberosa?
Tuberose oil is highly regarded for its floral, spicy and sensual aroma. It is the most
expensive natural flower oil in modern perfumery as it takes so many kilograms of the
flowers to make just a few grams of the oil, consequently it is not often used. However, if
ever there was a month for a little luxury and romance, then February surely is it. Tuberose is
known as the mistress of the night as the flowers bloom during the evening, releasing their
heady and intoxicating scent into the night.
Treat yourself to a sensual bath: put two drops of tuberose oil into some olive oil, add to
the bath, lie back and allow this lovely oil to warm you up whilst also boosting and enhancing
your mood. Alternatively, a couple of drops in a diffuser in your home will help balance
emotions and spice up the atmosphere, bringing joy to the heart.
For a warming and sensual massage, place two drops in jojoba oil, massage into the body
and let the tuberose oil do its magic.
Do not use directly on the skin. Avoid if pregnant, on young children or
on hypersensitive skin.
