Plumeria (Floral)

Our Plumeria oil has a fresh picked, subtle and sexy fragrance. It is perfect for light and airy blends, but also makes a fabulously darkened fragrance when added to any of the Woodsy scents.

Plumeria is a flowering tree, or bush, discovered by a seventeenth century French botanist named Charles Plumier. It is native to Central America, Mexico and Venezuelaand is also grown in Australia and the Cook Islands. It generally grows no more than 2 feet tall and has dark green, shiny leaves. There are four variations of plumeria: white flowers with yellow centers, yellow flowers tinged with pink, a deep pink flower with yellow centers, and white flowers with yellow centers and red or pink tips.

Plumeria is often called Frangipani because it is reminiscent of a fragrance developed in the sixteenth century by Italian perfumer, Marquis Frangipani. Urban Botanic has both Plumeria and Frangipani—and they are delightfully different.
