The Tiare flower, with its sweet fragrance and beautiful white petals arranged like a star, is the emblem of Tahiti. Its fragrance - very similar to jasmine - is exotic, and its softness conveys tranquility and tenderness. Tiare flower is believed to have many soothing and purifying properties.
Worn in the hair, behind the ear, as necklaces or crowns, these flowers are the daily decoration of the "Vahine" - the Polynesian women.
A Tiare Tahiti flower is in each bottle of Monoi de Tahiti Anakena.
