The Vintage Body Wash Selection:

Plumeria--Also known as Frangipane, Plumeria is the iconic lei flower of Hawaii…Island girls are known for plucking Plumeria blossoms straight off the tree and tucking them behind their ears.  Plumeria is soft, sweet, fruity and floral.

Gardenia--Tahitian Gardenia or Tiare is derived from “tiara” hinting at its royal history. In ancient Polynesian mythology, the god Atea would offer the tiare to mortal men as a gesture of peace. Because of its connection to the gods, Tahitian Gardenia was reserved for the elite, to be owned and harvested only by royalty. The queen of all Tahitian flowers, gardenia is exotic, complex, intense and richly floral.

Pikake--Princess Kaiulani loved Pikake so much that the Hawaiian name for the flower came from the princess’ favorite bird, the peacock.

The bright fragrance of Pikake, also known as tuberose, is one of Hawaii’s signature scents:   complex, sweet, strong and floral.
