Since its founding, Malie has been on a mission to give back to the community. Our ‘Iolani Palace Maile Collection reflects an ongoing commitment to preserving the sanctity of Hawaiian culture.
Once the home of Hawaiian monarchs King Kalākaua and his sister and successor, Queen Lili‘uokalani, ‘Iolani Palace is a National Historic Landmark. As the only royal palace in the United States, this building and its grounds serve as an enduring symbol of Hawaiian independence. The structure has undergone several evolutions throughout its history, many of which threatened its existence. Today, The Friends of ‘Iolani Palace provide caring stewardship of this treasured Hawaiian landmark.
The Friends of ‘Iolani Palace holds tours, educational programs, and regular events to preserve the Palace and its rich legacy. A nonprofit organization, the ongoing work of The Friends of ‘Iolani Palace is only made possible with contributions from caring patrons. That’s where the ‘Iolani Palace Maile Collection comes in.
Mission of the ‘Iolani Palace Maile Collection
Malie’s devotion to culture and community extends far beyond providing high quality island-inspired hair care, home, and beauty products. The ‘Iolani Palace Maile Collection was especially developed as a unique opportunity to give back—with 100% of the proceeds from this collection going directly to The Friends of ‘Iolani Palace. Our contributions help fund ongoing programs, staffing efforts, ground and building maintenance, and the overall preservation of the Palace.
Products in the ‘Iolani Palace Maile Collection
This elegant line contains two fragrance products, a Reed Diffuser and a specialty Cologne. It is also rooted in history. King Kalākaua was noted to have carried bottles of maile cologne on his 1881 trip around the world, bringing the fresh scent of Hawai’i’s lush maile vines along with him. Now sales from these new products—derived from nature and inspired by royalty—will help support The Friends of ‘Iolani Palace, and the nonprofit’s mission to act as a “living restoration of a proud Hawaiian national identity.”
‘Iolani Palace Maile Collection Reed Diffuser
Perfect for the home, reed diffusers are a simple and natural way to infuse a gentle aroma into any space. Diffusers can scent a whole room without combustion or electricity. Malie’s reed diffusers are made of authentic rattan reeds, which come from the inner core of the rattan palm. Naturally porous, these reeds can be used for weaving wicker furniture, making baskets, and diffusing reed oils. Their porous, highly absorbent nature makes them ideal carriers for fragrance.
‘Iolani Palace Maile Collection Cologne
Our perfumes and colognes bring natural island scents straight to you. Malie’s colognes are noticeable without being overpowering, making them ideal for use both day and night. Best of all, our tropical perfumes are 100% guilt-free. They are vegan, never tested on animals, and are free of parabens, sulfates, phthalates, petrochemicals, mineral oil, silicone, talc, and gluten.
All purchases and all proceeds from the ‘Iolani Palace Maile Collection directly contribute to The Friends of ‘Iolani Palace. Interested parties may also make direct gift donations to The Friends of ‘Iolani Palace, purchase artifacts and memorabilia from the Palace Shop, or schedule a tour of the Palace and its grounds in ‘Oahu. Please support the preservation of the spiritual and physical multicultural epicenter of Hawai‘i—‘Iolani Palace.
