Erotic Massage Candle, Rose, Soy and Coconut Wax, 100 g

A rose for him, massage edition

Giving roses is classic. Letting a warm rose-scented oil run down his back is a lot more effective. The Le Désir rose-scented erotic massage candle starts out as a mood candle: its flame softens the light, its floral scent drifts through the room. Then its soy and coconut wax melts and becomes a soft, silky warm massage oil, ready to glide under your fingers.

It comes in a black metal tin with gold lettering and a rose drawn on the lid: chic, discreet and resealable between uses.

Its strong points

A floral scent that changes the mood. Rose brings an elegant note, less gourmand than vanilla: perfect for a dinner for two, a couple's anniversary or a Valentine's Day that's a break from chocolates.

The warmth of a warm oil. It relaxes the muscles and makes every caress feel more enveloping than with a cold oil.

Silky plant-based waxes. Soy, coconut and essential oil: a short formula and satiny skin after the massage.

100 g to make it last. Enough for several sessions, and to perfume the bedroom between massages.

The ritual for two

Lights off, candle lit, he lies down. Start with the neck and shoulders, where the day piles up, then work down the back in long, firm strokes. Linger on the small of the back, the ass, the backs of the thighs; the scent of rose and the warmth of the oil do the rest. When he turns over, his chest and abs glistening in the flame are an invitation to go further.

A scented massage is also a tender way of saying "I'm taking care of you" before getting down to serious business. Beginner or experienced masseur, the warm oil makes the gesture feel natural: there's no wrong way to stroke a man who lets you.

How to use it

• Light the candle and wait about 10 to 15 minutes for a pool of liquid wax to form.
• Blow out the flame before pouring.
• Do the wrist test: a drop on the inside of your wrist to check the heat.
• Pour the oil into your palm or in a thin stream onto his skin, from higher up if you want it less hot.
• Massage without rushing, then let it cool and close the lid.

Precautions and compatibility

Watch out for latex: like any oil, it weakens latex condoms. Before penetration, wipe the oil off your hands and the areas concerned and use a water-based or silicone lubricant, or polyurethane condoms. This is not a lubricant: keep it away from mucous membranes, eyes and damaged skin.

Keep an eye on the flame and handle the tin with care, the metal gets hot. Keep it away from fabrics, children and pets. On sensitive skin, test a small area first. Do not eat.
