Tiare Monoi Oil: the classic
Tiare Monoi Oil ($15, 4 oz) is the monoi that started it all. Parfumerie Tiki has made it in Papeete since 1942 by soaking hand-picked tiare blossoms in refined coconut oil. The result is a light, silky oil with the scent of a fresh Tahitian lei. It is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 13 reviewers on our site.
- Skin: a few drops on damp skin after a bath or shower.
- Hair: one or two drops between the palms to finish dry ends.
- Bath: a little in warm bath water.
Vanille Monoi Oil: the warm one
Vanille Monoi Oil ($15, 4 oz) starts with the same Monoi Tiare Tahiti and adds a soft, sweet vanilla. It has been one of the most-loved Monoi Tiki Tahiti scents since the 1980s, and it is rated 5 out of 5 by 5 reviewers on our site. Choose it for someone who loves warm, cozy scents more than florals.
The Oil Duo: both in one gift
Can't decide? The Monoi Oil Duo Gift Set: Tiare & Vanille ($30) has one 4 oz bottle of each, priced the same as the two bottles bought separately, and at $30 it ships free in the U.S. Two scents to try side by side, or one to keep and one to give.
Matching soaps: the stocking stuffers
Tiare Monoi Soap and Vanille Monoi Soap ($6 each, 130 g) are French-milled bars made with Monoi Tiare Tahiti. Use the bar in the shower, then the matching oil on damp skin, for the same scent from head to toe.

Good to know
Monoi is a coconut oil, so it turns solid below 68°F (20°C). That is normal; set the bottle in warm water for a few minutes to melt it. Monoi oil is not a sunscreen. Every order ships from Honolulu, Hawai'i, by Hawaiian Resources Co., the official U.S. importer of Monoi Tiki Tahiti.
