Heady and hypnotic, tiare embellishes fragrances with decadently creamy facets. An intoxicatingly floral note likened to gardenia, tuberose and ylang-ylang that blends well with coconut notes and white floral notes, as well as marine and sweet accords. Its facets are succulently sweet yet mellow—inspiring a warm serenity.
Native to eastern Polynesia and its namesake of Tahiti, the Tiare shrub belongs to the gardenia species. Its white flowers and dark, green glossy leaves are appreciated as both a symbol of the tropics and for their decidedly lush fragrance—of which is obtained through volatile solvent extraction or reproduced synthetically.
The tiare flower has a long history as the soul and symbol of Tahiti. Both men and women adorn themselves with the fragrant white flowers during special ceremonies and holidays. The flower is a sign of greeting to foreign visitors and is believed to promote attachment and loving sentiments. In some Pacific Island traditions, the ear with which the flower is worn indicates one’s relationship status.

Even if the smell of the sun is closely linked to our culture and to the sunscreens we used in our childhood, NUXE captures the incandescent spirit of summer. Its sparkling harmonies of sweet orange and petitgrain dazzle and take you off to the tropics through its nuances of coconut and tiare flowers, caressed by a lascivious accord of vanilla and musks.
