Origin & Lore
Aphrodesia oil is a love and passion formula named for Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, beauty and desire. It belongs to the tradition of lust and romance condition oils, and is worked to open the heart, stir passion and make intimate moments more charged.
The goddess Aphrodite rose from the sea foam, and her name gave us the word aphrodisiac.
Aphrodite was worshipped across the Greek world, with great sanctuaries at Paphos in Cyprus and Corinth, and myrtle, roses, doves and sparrows were sacred to her. The word aphrodisiac comes directly from her name, through the Greek aphrodisios, “belonging to Aphrodite”.
Did You Know?
Hesiod’s Theogony explains Aphrodite’s name through aphros, the Greek word for foam, from which she was born off the coast of Cyprus.
