Monoi is a lush, exotic note in perfumery, evoking the sensuality of sun-warmed skin, tropical breezes, and the languid luxury of island life. Deeply connected to Polynesian culture, monoi is a fragrant oil made by infusing Tiaré flowers (Tahitian gardenia) in coconut oil, creating a creamy, floral, and slightly solar aroma that embodies warmth and relaxation.
Monoi de Tahiti has been handcrafted for centuries in French Polynesia, where it is considered sacred. It is used in beauty rituals, massage, and even spiritual ceremonies, symbolizing purity, protection, and connection to nature. The scent is synonymous with golden beaches, sunlit lagoons, and a carefree, sun-drenched elegance.
