Plumeria, also known as frangipani, Hawaiian flower or tipanié, is a tropical plant belonging to the toadflax family (Apocynaceae). Named after the French botanist Charles Plumier, it is popular worldwide for its beautiful flowers and intense, exotic fragrance. This flower is especially grown in the tropics, where it is popular for its beautiful bloom and fragrance. It is a typical plant for the Caribbean, Mexico, Central America or Florida. Plumeria flowers form large clusters with a fragrance that is strongest in the evening.
One of the main uses of plumeria is in the cosmetic industry. Due to its intense, pleasant and fresh scent, it is often used in the production of perfumes, fragrances or body creams. It is also used to make scented candles and fragrance oils, which are used in aromatherapy for their calming and relaxing effects. The Hawaiian flower is also used in traditional medicine, where it is used to treat various skin problems, colds or high blood pressure. In Hawaii, for example, the plumeria is traditionally used to make floral wreaths called lei, which are worn around the neck as a symbol of hospitality.
