Goddess on rug absorbed by a dodgy, sensual treatment (12)

I believe the answer is:

aromatherapy

'sensual treatment' is the definition.

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for aromatherapy that I've seen before include "healing process? That's disputed" , "Use of essential oils to instil well-being" , "treatment" , "Remedial use of essential plant oils" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
