Tiaré de Tahiti

“When Paul Gauguin discovered French Polynesia, it wasn’t just the light that fascinated him, but also a discreet and enchanting flower. White, sensual, and intensely fragrant, the Tiaré blooms like a secret under the Pacific sun. Worn behind the ear or woven into the hair, it whispers stories of sweetness and distant lands — a fragrance that stays with you long after…” [travel notes]

Tahiti, the largest island in French Polynesia, is located in the heart of the South Pacific Ocean: an unspoiled paradise characterized by volcanic landscapes, lush vegetation, and crystal-clear lagoons. Its unique geographical isolation and rich, fertile soil create the perfect environment for the growth of natural raw materials of exceptional quality.

Among these treasures are some of the most precious ingredients in perfumery. Tahiti has already inspired us with the richness of its Tahitian Vanilla. Today we continue this journey, drawing once again on the island’s extraordinary biodiversity, where nature expresses itself in its most authentic and radiant form.

The inspiration for this fragrance comes from its source: the Tahitian tiaré flower.

The tiaré flower holds deep cultural and emotional significance. It is a symbol of purity, hospitality, love, and welcome, often used in traditional ceremonies, perfumes, and as personal adornment. Worn behind the ear, it can even indicate one’s relationship status — on the right if single, on the left if in a relationship — making it a subtle language of love and connection.

This fragrance is centered on that essence: a tribute to the raw material in its most authentic expression.

More than a composition, it is an immersion. A journey to Tahiti, guided by the unique beauty of the Tiaré.

Traditionally, it is obtained by allowing fresh flowers to macerate in coconut oil to produce monoi, a method that captures its most delicate and velvety facets.

In perfumery, we use the essential oil extracted from the flower.

Hand-picked at dawn, when its fragrance is at its most delicate and intense, the Tiaré reveals a creamy and one-of-a-kind floral profile. Its aroma encloses the softness of the white petals, the warmth of the tropical air, and a subtle sweetness that is at once pure and enveloping.
