ABOUT

Monoi Oil is a luxurious fragrance note derived from soaking Tahitian gardenias (Tiare flowers) in coconut oil, resulting in a rich, creamy scent that combines tropical florals with a warm, coconutty sweetness. It evokes images of sun-drenched beaches and exotic island paradises, offering a smooth, velvety aroma that is both sensual and soothing. In perfumery, Monoi Oil is often used as a heart or base note to impart a creamy, exotic floral character with a subtle gourmand touch, enhancing compositions with its lush, tropical warmth and natural softness.
