What are aphrodisiacs?
They have been used for thousands of years to boost the libido: so-called aphrodisiacs. These are natural stimulants that stimulate the senses and are intended to increase sexual desire. The name, by the way, comes from Greek mythology and is derived from the goddess of love, Aphrodite. She is said to have known about the eroticizing effect of certain herbs and plants.

When it comes to love, romance, or increased sexual interest, the influence that the scent of rose can exert cannot be underestimated at all.
