CULTURAL MEANING: |
Frangipani Oil is an ingredient of the popular Nag Champa incense combined with Sandalwood and Magnolia (Champaca). It is the national flower of Laos, known as Dok Champa and a symbol of luck. In modern Polynesian culture, the flower can be worn by women to indicate their relationship status—over the right ear if seeking a relationship, and over the left if taken. Among the Maya, plumerias have been associated with deities representing life and fertility, and the flowers also became strongly connected with female sexuality. |
