I haven’t heard of this trait of lavender. Frankincense and Myrrh has the biggest influence on testosterone and oestrogen basically producing “fake” hormones. Anyway, most essential oils seems to rather have a balancing effect on hormones rather than stimulating the one or the other. If you are worried about lavender then go for Patchouli. It’s basically the male version of lavender.
Further, I have to say that even though I do use lavender it is certainly not my favourite. It’s just not how a dick should smell.
