Synthetic Alternatives

Synthetic versions of frangipani aim to replicate its lush, creamy floral sweetness and are often used in perfumery due to the challenge of extracting oil directly from the flowers.

Perfumer's Tips

Use sparingly in the heart of a composition to add a rich, tropical floral note. It can be an excellent complement to other florals, providing depth and complexity.
