Massage Candle Island Blossoms 170 ml

Why we stock it

A massage is the easiest way to slow an evening down, and a candle that doubles as the oil means one less bottle on the bedside table. It also makes a thoughtful gift that is not too forward.

It costs ₹2,199. Shunga's packaging takes its look from Japanese erotic prints, so it looks good on a shelf, not hidden in a drawer.
