Natural Aphrodisiacs

Bois bandé, also known as muira puama, is an Amazonian bark traditionally used to support libido and vitality in both men and women. Depending on the person and the form chosen, its effects are generally felt between thirty minutes and one hour after taking it. We mainly offer it in capsules, the most practical and most requested form, and as an alcohol-free liquid for a freely adjustable dose.

Peruvian maca is the tonic root of the Andes: as concentrated Dynveo capsules, the most practical format, or as yellow, black or red powder, taken as a one- to three-month course. Red ginseng, here as a standardised Dynveo extract with 20% ginsenosides and as Korean IL HWA capsules, taken as a short three-week course, supports energy and vigour. Organic tribulus terrestris rounds out the family, alongside pure Himalayan shilajit (a longer three-month course), KSM-66 ashwagandha and, for women, organic shatavari from Ayur-vana, the great feminine herb of Ayurveda.

You will not find “aphrodisiac honey”, attoto or yohimbe with us: these products are regularly flagged by the authorities for adulteration with hidden pharmaceutical molecules. Our selection is limited to plants authorised for sale in France — one of the strictest regulatory frameworks in Europe — with compliant labelling and identified suppliers. That has been our approach since 2006.

Liquid acts faster and can be dosed freely; capsules offer a discreet, consistently dosed intake, practical for a course; powder (maca, shatavari, bois bandé) mixes into a juice or smoothie and remains the most economical option. For more detail, see our full guide to natural aphrodisiacs — and in our Paris shop, we’re happy to help you choose based on your needs, whether occasional or ongoing.

Since 2006, our shop at 10 rue Théophile Roussel (Paris 12th) has supported customers with discreet, straightforward, judgement-free advice. All the stock shown on this site is the shop’s own stock, updated in real time: check availability online, then come in — Ledru-Rollin metro (line 8), exit 3 “Rue Traversière”, head towards the Animalis store and it’s on the same side of the street, to the left — or have it delivered anywhere in France and Europe.

Which natural aphrodisiac works fastest?

Bois bandé liquid extract is traditionally the fastest-acting form: depending on the person, effects are generally felt between thirty minutes and one hour after taking it. Maca, red ginseng or shilajit are better suited to a longer course, taken over several weeks.

Are your aphrodisiacs legal in France?

Yes, all of them. We turn away products regularly flagged by the authorities as risky (“aphrodisiac honey”, attoto, yohimbe), and we limit our selection to plants authorised for sale in France, with compliant labelling and identified suppliers.

Can I collect my order directly in-store?

Yes: in-store collection is free and immediate as soon as your order is confirmed. The shop is at 10 rue Théophile Roussel, Paris 12th, 2 minutes from Ledru-Rollin metro (line 8), Tuesday to Saturday, 9:30am to 6:30pm.
