"The lid was unscrewed and it leaked in the box"
Frangipani Cologne Spray
The Scent: Nothing evokes that tropical feeling like the serene scent of Demeter’s Frangipani, also known as Plumeria, and perhaps the queen of all tropical flowers. Radiant and captivating, Frangipani is an irresistibly, timeless and enticing fragrance.
The Inspiration: A classical fragrance note we have always admired, but had great difficulty getting just right.

"Not bad! Not exactly frangipani (plumeria) but at least something tropical and breezy about this scent. Does smell like a car air freshener in Hawaiian Breeze."
"Scent was horribly wrong"
Sandalwood, powdery flower petals, and spice
"Plumeria is much milkier and headier. Maybe I detect sandalwood, nutmeg, and just on the drydown allspice with the slightest bit of powder but more like a plasticy baby powder scented babydoll type of smell?... I expected it to be more powdery. Maybe blending Frangipani with Condensed Milk will bring it closer to the heady, rich, intoxicating scent of those plush plumeria blossoms. This certainly smells more antique, as another reviewer mentioned. That's still neat! Personally, I blended Kitten Fur with Saffron and Frangipani and created the scent of a sunflower and rice water bath oil that I remember from my childhood. Definitely the comfort scent I needed, and I will be blending my 3 scents together to relive that delightful core memory every day. I ordered the 1/2 oz humongous cologne splash and it's perfect if you don't care for a spray. You need to apply a lot to get it to last. Thank you Demeter for the super fast 2 day shipping and great packaging with the storage boxes to organize all the colognes! Also the gifts I received with my $100+ order were a full 4oz pick me up cologne spray bottle of Cherry Blossom and Wet Garden 1/2oz roll-on perfume oil! Love them!"
Very powdery
"It doesn't smell like plumeria to me. It's very powdery and floral, like baby powder and the potpourri that's been in your grandma's bathroom since 1997."
Nice but not plumeria
"Smells like baby powder."
Frangipani
"The best new scent from my last order---i have several different kinds of plumeria and frangipanI, from designers and Bath and Body works, but this one is just gorgeous!! Rich, sweet, slightly spicy and, unlike a lot of Demeter florals, it has great silage!! This one is a keeper for me!!"
Big note, very heady
"I sought this scent because of my travels to the Caribbean, where I got to smell the flower on the tree. The real life bloom is not strong, the white flower is also small and delicate. You got to get right up to it and inhale. This scent nails that fragrance from the flower, but beware: this is a walloping strength compared the the live flower. A little goes a long way."
Awesome
"I love this one."
Smells like our vacations!
"This flower reminds me of the Caribbean resorts I have visited with my husband, and we both agree that this fragrance is spot on. I do thinks it's a little strong though, so I will probably order this in the rollerball so I can apply lightly."
