You can't help but be struck by the wild beauty of this island, a veritable rocky bastion with deep, green valleys overgrown with banana, lemon and mango trees. One of the local specialities is the bouquet parfum\u00e9 (<em>umuhei <\/em>or <em>kumu hei<\/em>). Depending on the function it is supposed to fulfil (attracting a lover, a future husband, etc.), the vahines use a skilful blend of different flowers, plants and essences and wear it in their hair or as a crown on their head to develop their sensuality and arouse male ardour. The idea is not to combine these fragrant plants in any old way, but to create an olfactory harmony with some of them, without any one fragrance overpowering the others.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/N05858-Copier.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-2\" data-rl_title=\"\u00celes Marquises.

In 1985-87, as part of the Programme de Sauvetage du Patrimoine Ethnographique (PSPE-CPSH) (Ethnographic Heritage Rescue Programme), tapa-making techniques were collected from the last remaining elderly tapa-makers.
