Frangipani

Frangipani, also known as the Hawaiian Lei flower or Plumeria, has been used in perfumery since the 16th century, usually as a top or heart note. The flowers from a frangipani tree are either white, yellow, pink, or multi-color. The name, frangipani, comes from the Italian nobleman, Marquis Frangipani, who created a perfume used to scent gloves in the 16th century. When the frangipani flower was discovered its natural perfume reminded people of the scented gloves, and so the flower was called frangipani. Radiant and captivating, Frangipani is an irresistibly, timeless and enticing fragrance. Nothing evokes that tropical feeling like the serene scent of Frangipani. Frangipani also known as Plumeria, is perhaps the queen of all tropical flowers. For centuries, Frangipani has been one of the great plants for human adornment. In modern Polynesian culture, the Frangipani can be worn by women to indicate their relationship status - over the right ear if seeking a relationship and over the left if taken.

Natural or Synthetic?
Frangipani oil is extracted from the flowers of the Frangipani tree. Synthetic versions are created to replicate its exotic, floral, and sweet fragrance, often used due to the high cost of natural extraction.
