The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2003 by Ormonde Jayne, Frangipani was crafted by perfumer Geza Schoen and stands as an ode to tropical florals and citrus freshness. The fragrance opens with a burst of lime and linden blossom, creating a vibrant and zesty introduction that quickly gives way to the rich and creamy heart of magnolia and frangipani. These floral notes are complemented by water lily and plum, adding depth and a fruity sweetness. The base notes of tuberose, rose, musk, Madagascar vanilla, amber, and cedar provide a warm and enveloping finish that anchors the composition with its sensuous undertones.
Apply Frangipani in light layers — the citrus top notes are bright but fleeting. Allow it to develop on your skin for about an hour before reapplying if needed. It’s best worn during warmer months when its tropical florals can truly shine.
