‘Though tropical countries are all very different & diverse, some special things unite them. There is a laidback joy behind living in tropic climes. There are many of the same plants that love hot humid weather. Whenever I am lucky enough to come across a frangipani tree in the wild, I know I’m in for a good time. I’ve sampled them all over, but in Turk & Caicos I found a giant tree with pink blossoms. I was bowled over how narcotic the flowers were & immediately made some aromatic copies of it. I like to think of these trees as portals that link the Caribbean to Australia, India, and anywhere else you can find these beauties beaming brightly.’ – D.S. & Durga
