The flowers are a gift to welcome visitors. Upon arrival in Papeete, passengers from the Marquesas Islands are immediately immersed in the Umuhei tradition and its characteristic notes that are diffused throughout the airport. It is actually a mixture of aromatic plants and fruits such as pineapple, ylang ylang, blue Ageratum, Miri, Rea Tahiti and Sandalwood. This aromatic plant bouquet has been made by the Marquesas women for generations, and is macerated in coconut oil or Monoï to maintain its strong scent.
