Couldn't load pickup availability
Java Frangipani Absolute is a luxurious floral aromatic material obtained from the blossoms of Plumeria alba, prized for its rich tropical floral character and smooth, creamy depth.
Its fragrance is lush, sweet and exotic, with a distinctive combination of creamy white florals, soft tropical sweetness, subtle green facets and a gentle balsamic warmth. Compared with sharper white florals, Frangipani tends to feel rounder, softer and more velvety, with an almost nectar-like richness.
The aroma is highly evocative of warm tropical gardens, fresh flower garlands and creamy floral perfumes, making it especially valuable in exotic florals, tropical compositions, attars, solid perfumes and luxurious botanical fragrance blends.
