Frangipani


 - Plumeria alba or obtusa - also known as Plumeria,  

Flowers are most fragrant at night in order to lure sphinx moths to pollinate them. The flowers have no nectar, and simply dupe their pollinators. The moths inadvertently pollinate them by transferring pollen from flower to flower in their fruitless search for nectar.  Used almost exclusively in the perfume industry with a musky, floral, peachy, creamy, lush, soft, fruity and slightly sweet scent.  Exotic smell similar to "lei" garland.

Extracted by Food Grade Solvent or steam distillation. Most commercial “frangipani essential oil” is actually a frangipani absolute or infused oil, not a steam-distilled essential oil.
