Tiare Flowers
Tiare flowers are an exotic and creamy floral fragrance note with a lush, tropical scent profile that carries subtle sweet and coconut-like undertones. Their aroma is soft, intoxicating, and deeply feminine, adding a luxurious and sensual quality to perfumes. Tiare flowers impart a smooth, creamy character and are often used as a middle note to create depth and warmth in fragrance compositions. They pair beautifully with fruity, vanilla, and woody notes, contributing to fragrances that are opulent, romantic, and full of tropical allure.
History & Production: Tiare flowers (Gardenia taitensis), also known as Tahitian gardenias, are native to French Polynesia and are traditionally used to make Monoi oil by soaking the flowers in coconut oil. In perfumery, the scent of tiare is often recreated using synthetic accords or gardenia-like notes to capture its creamy, exotic aroma. Tiare flowers are prized for their ability to add a tropical, floral richness that enhances the warmth and luxury of fragrances, evoking a sense of paradise and island beauty.
