Saturday night, the dishes are staying in the sink, and your partner has stripped off and flopped onto a towel on the bed. You squeeze a dollop of this into your palm, rub your hands until it's warm, and begin at the base of their neck. Wicked's Orange Blossom + Patchouli Sensual Massage Cream is an ultra-rich cream made for slow hands on bare skin, and for wherever those hands wander next.
Patchouli without the Nimbin market stall
Say "patchouli" and some people picture a hemp-shirted stallholder flogging dreamcatchers. This one's far classier. Orange blossom brightens it up, and a blend of natural oils including sweet orange, bergamot, ylang ylang and sandalwood gives it a warm, grown-up scent that hangs about on the sheets afterwards.
Cream that stays put on skin
Because it's a cream, it doesn't run down someone's ribs and onto the doona the second it lands. Coconut, sweet almond and sunflower oils plus cocoa and shea butter give your hands proper slip, and vitamins A and E and added electrolytes help hydrate. Knead the knots out of their shoulders, press into the dip low on their back, then take the long way down each thigh. Wicked warns it may lead to increased desire, and hell, we're not going to argue.
It's just as good solo. Heads up: it contains coconut and sweet almond oils, so check nobody reacts to them, and keep it away from eyes and broken skin.
One 120 mL tube, and "just a quick back rub" becomes a bloody obvious lie.
