Dr. Nick's Notes

Plumeria is a stunning flower shrouded in beauty with legendary around Hawaii and various islands. These gorgeous flowers grow on the small Plumeria alba tree native to the Caribbean, Mexico, and Central America ~ Frangipani oil is now cultivated in tropical areas around the world. In mythology, Plumeria is seen as a symbol of peace and tranquility. Some Indian philosophy seems this as the “Tree of Life”, and associates Plumeria flowers with death and funerals. Malaysia considers it’s fragrance reflective of the undead. These beautiful frangipani flowers have developed a tradition for use in tropical islands (Hawaii & Tahiti) for making ceremonial leis.

Our Plumeria Oil is authentic solvent-extracted Plumeria Absolute - Our Plumeria Absolute (aka Frangipani Absolute) is derived from the tropical five petaled flowers of the exotic Plumeria alba. These flowers are creamy white and spiral open to reveal a soft yellow/orange shading towards its center. The scent whispers shades of vanilla, creme with a dry undertone ~ our Sri-Lanka Plumeria Absolute extract is quite thick, some batches are waxy and semi-solid, and not much of a liquid oil solution. Frangipani Absolute seems to add beautiful notes combined with other flowers, waxes, resins & essential oils. I prefer this beautiful extract with other exotic extracts to add rich creamy dimensions in botanical perfumery. To enjoy Plumeria Oil on it's own, I will take a tiny scoop of this semi-solid extract and apply a small smudge along my wrists and neck to be fully adorned in this sweet powdery magick.

Our latest batch (2025) of Plumeria Absolute is absolutely heavenly, and is quite liquid in nature. Sourced from a lovely Thai family who has been producing botanical extracts for decades, this has a very creamy, sweet and sultry aromatic smell, and is quite attractive worn on the body or infused into your favorite homemade perfume blends!
