Frangipani Hydrosol

The scent is creamy, sweet and unmistakably tropical — a true white floral rather than the fresh green character that most aromatic waters carry. It reads as a holiday rather than a garden, and it is different enough from rose or lavender that people notice it and ask what it is.

Misted over the face after cleansing, it goes on cool and dries within seconds, leaving no film at all and nothing to wipe away. It sits comfortably under a moisturiser or over makeup, and the scent settles quickly rather than competing with whatever perfume you might happen to be wearing.

A few sprays through the hair or across the shoulders leaves a soft tropical scent that lasts a couple of hours. It is alcohol-free so it will not dry out the hair, it leaves no stickiness behind on skin, and it will not stain a collar or mark a light-coloured shirt.

Unlike a concentrate, this hydrosol needs no dilution and no carrier at all. It is the water phase of distillation, carrying only trace aromatics, which is what makes it gentle enough to spray straight from the bottle onto clean skin as often through the course of a day as you like.

Toners, facial mists and post-cleanse sprays all take frangipani hydrosol well, where the sweet tropical character gives a range a scent signature quite unlike the rose and lavender waters that fill the category. It blends readily with jasmine, neroli, rose and ylang ylang hydrosols in more or less any proportion you like.

Alcohol-free body sprays, hair mists and layering waters use frangipani for a white floral note at a fraction of what an absolute would cost. Its scent is soft rather than sharp, which makes it usable as a base for a composition or as a finished product in its own right.

Body mists, cooling sprays, bath products and treatment-room linen sprays all carry the frangipani character very well indeed. Spa brands use it for a tropical signature that reads as considered rather than generic, and its water base means it disperses evenly right through any aqueous system without needing a solubiliser at all.

As a water-phase ingredient, frangipani hydrosol replaces part or all of the aqua in creams, lotions, gels, sheet masks and cleansing wipes, adding both scent and a genuine botanical provenance to the formulation. Batch aroma stays entirely consistent, and full COA, MSDS and TDS documentation supports all your own labelling requirements.
