West Indian Jasmine
Calling all jasmine fans! There is a new tropical flower trending in perfumery that you will love. In fact, it is so fragrant, it is called ‘West Indian Jasmine’. Introducing frangipani flower.
If you’ve ever vacationed in Hawaii or attended a traditional luau celebration you’ll recognize this flower. Frangipani, also known as plumeria, is used to make colourful and fragrant leis and floral garlands. The plumeria originates in Southeast Asia and is the national symbol of Bali. Locals say it symbolizes good spirit.
The yellow, pink and white blooms boasting five petals, grow on tropical trees in very warm, tropical climates releasing an intoxicating aroma that smells like jasmine and gardenia with a hint of citrus. Perfumers love it as when paired with jasmine, it adds a sensual and alluring aroma. This is an ingredient to look for if you want a truly sexy eau de parfum for date night.
