TIARE de SANTAL : Frangipani Essential Oil in vintage Sri Lankan Sandalwood

The flower of everlasting love

Frangipani, also called plumeria, tīpaniē (and dozen other vernacular names), is the Queen Flower of the tropics, deep lush gorumand floral, extrovert, sensual and strongly active on the heart. Thought by scholars to be native of the Caribbean, it travelled all the way to the Pacific via indigenous travels routes.

Frangipani is also one of the favourite flowers traditionally uses to make the lei, beautiful fragrant garlands & wreaths in found in Hawaii, and in several Pacific islands, such as Tahiti, Fiji, Samoa, Hawaii, New Zealand, Tonga, and the Cook Islands, etc. 

A very special oil

In perfumery, frangipani, when not from synthetic sources, is always in found the form of an absolute, never an essential oil. The oil used in this attar (that you can find pure here) is a rarity, and a remarkable oil that transcends the realm of florals.

The association with sandalwood makes it into a delicate atter.

The scentient experience

Very warming, deep, grounding, incarnated, hypnotic, inebriating, soothing and a major activator of the heart energy (so it can provoke a roller-coaster of emotions at first - like good rose does)
