It tells the story of Jean-Baptise Grenouille. The man who created an irresistible aphrodisiac perfume. It was so strong that the women and men he poured it on tore out into full on sex hunters in lusty orgies. The right dosage of course is the trick. But too much of a good thing can’t be all bad. In the Middle Ages scents weren’t the only aphrodisiacs. Also thought to be aphrodisiacs were various herbs and spices like nutmeg and parsley. Kale was also considered to be one.

That means you'll want to check any lube or lotion that you plan to use around the genital area before or during sex and make sure it is clearly marked as "water-based." Generally, anything you buy made from latex needs a lot of care. Any clothes or toys should be washed with water-based soaps after use and then rubbed dry with talcum powder or a special silicon oil.
