Plumeria

Plumeria is a traditional tropical plant with strongly scented flowers. 

Plumeria is also called Francipani, in reference to the 16th-century Marquis Francipani, the Italian inventor of perfume based on the aroma of this plant. Since its invention, the aroma of this plant is still used in the perfume industry. A original plumeria is found all over the world in tropical areas and has different meanings in different countries. 

In Hawaii, for example, women wear this flower behind their ear, on the right when they are looking for a husband and behind their left ear when they are married.
