Description
This Shunga sensual massage oil embodies the heritage of Eastern traditions. Made with a blend of essential oils — sweet almond, grapeseed, sesame, avocado — combined with pure Ylang-Ylang and Yohimbe essences, it creates a synergy designed to awaken the senses without weighing down the skin. The FETISH VANILLA aroma envelops the moment in captivating sweetness.
Composition and feel on the skin
What I classify as a true massage oil — not a slippery lubricant, but a rich texture that glides generously over the body. The formula has been dermatologically tested, meaning it limits the risk of allergic reactions for sensitive skin. No lingering greasy feeling: it absorbs gradually, leaving the skin soft without an unpleasant oily residue. The natural essential oils (Ylang-Ylang, Yohimbe) add an extra sensory dimension — not just a lubricant, but an olfactory and tactile experience.
Size and practical use
The transparent 240 ml bottle provides a generous amount for multiple uses. For me, it's the ideal size for couples: enough for several sessions without being too bulky to store. I recommend warming the oil slightly between your hands before applying it — this intensifies the aromas and improves the gliding sensation. Compatible with latex condoms (unlike silicone lubricants), it can be used for both sensual massage and foreplay.
Shunga brand: the Oriental heritage
Shunga literally means “spring picture” — a poetic way of referring to intimate relationships. The brand draws inspiration from Japanese erotic traditions (the ukiyo-e paintings of the 16th–18th centuries), translating this ancestral art into modern cosmetics. Natural ingredients combined with active compounds create formulas designed for intimate well-being, not just marketing. Between us, I like this approach, which blends cultural history with product effectiveness.

Who it's really for
Ideal for: couples looking for sensual moments, solo users seeking intimate relaxation, those who prefer rich textures to synthetic lubricants, and people with sensitive skin (dermatologically tested). If you're looking for a product that combines relaxing massage with sensuality, this is a suitable choice.
Consider something else: if you want a lubricant for intense penetration (the oil glides well but doesn't last as long as a proper lubricant), or if you use polyurethane/nitrile condoms (check compatibility with the manufacturer). For specialized penetration lubricants, visit our intimate wellness collection, where you'll find other options.
Friendly tip — Warm the oil for a few seconds between your palms before applying it: this releases the aromas and creates a more pleasant gliding sensation. Store it away from direct light to preserve the properties of the essential oils.
