✦ FRANGIPANI ATTAR - The Flower of the Tropics ✦

Frangipani is one of the most universally beloved and instantly recognisable flowers in the world. With its distinctive five-petalled blooms in shades of white, cream, and soft yellow, and its extraordinary sweet, tropical fragrance, frangipani has been treasured across South and Southeast Asia, the Pacific Islands, the Caribbean, and Central America for centuries - worn in the hair, offered at temples, and celebrated as a symbol of beauty, devotion, and new life. Frangipani Attar captures the true, living scent of this extraordinary flower in a pure, alcohol-free perfume oil of exceptional warmth and sweetness.

Known botanically as Plumeria, frangipani holds particular significance in Hindu and Buddhist traditions, where it is offered at temples and shrines as a symbol of immortality and divine grace. In Bali it is considered sacred, and across much of Southeast Asia the flower is synonymous with spiritual devotion and natural beauty.

THE SCENT PROFILE

Frangipani Attar opens with a warm, sweet, intensely tropical floral - rich and luminous, with the characteristic creamy sweetness that makes frangipani so instantly recognisable. As it develops, soft hints of coconut, jasmine, and warm spice emerge from within the florals, adding depth and a gentle exotic warmth. The sandalwood base anchors and extends the fragrance, slowly drawing the sweetness of the flower into a warm, creamy, and deeply intimate dry-down.

ORIGIN & PRODUCTION

Frangipani Attar is crafted in Kannauj, Uttar Pradesh - India's historic perfume capital, with an attar-making tradition stretching back over 400 years. The fragrance is produced using the traditional deg-bhapka method of hydro-distillation, recognised by UNESCO as part of India's intangible cultural heritage, with frangipani materials carefully distilled over pure sandalwood oil to preserve the full tropical sweetness and complexity of the flower. No alcohol, no synthetic fixatives - only the finest natural fragrance materials and time.
