Frangipani, often confused with Plumeria, was developed in the 16th century by Italian perfumer, Marquis Frangipani. He marketed this to women of the upper class as a fragrance for scenting glove boxes 100 years before the plumeria flowers were discovered. However, when these flowers became popular among the elite, it reminded them of the frangipani fragrance, and therefore plumeria was nicknamed "frangipani."This can make for a lot of confusion in the world of perfumery. Plumeria is more of a floral scent, while Frangipani has a slightly more fruity base. Urban Botanic has both Plumeria and Frangipani—and they are delightfully different.
Our Frangipani oil is very delicate and pretty. It blends well with every single UB scent! Use it to calm a dominating Herby or Spicy, or to cut down excess citrus in your scent.
A funny story: At one of my parties, a guest used Frangipani in her signature scent. She struggled with the pronunciation. When I said "frahn--juh--pah--nee" she responded, "What? French panties?!" Guess what she ended up naming her scent?
