🌿 Introduction
Durian Extract (Aroma) — obtained from the flesh of Durio zibethinus, the legendary “King of Fruits” — is one of the most intriguing and complex tropical aromas in the world. It carries a deep, creamy, and savory-sweet scent that is both polarizing and fascinating — buttery, sulfuric, fruity, and custard-like, with a warm undertone of caramelized banana and roasted almonds.
This extract is not for the timid nose — it is a true statement ingredient in natural perfumery, gastronomic fragrance design, and conceptual aroma art.
At Herbsmetics, Durian Extract (Aroma) is presented in our Perfume & Botanical Composition Workshops in Phuket as an example of olfactory courage and tropical authenticity, teaching guests how even the most unusual natural aromas can be transformed into artful compositions with balance and creativity.
🌸 Aroma Profile
Top Notes: Sharp, fruity, sulfuric, and fermented.
Heart Notes: Sweet, creamy, custard-like with tropical fruit warmth.
Base Nuance: Musky, nutty, and faintly leathery — reminiscent of toasted sugar and vanilla.
The result is provocative yet addictive, offering both challenge and depth to the adventurous perfumer.
🌍 Origins & Cultural Heritage
Origin: Indigenous to Southeast Asia, especially Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia.
Historical Use: Revered in Southeast Asian culture as the “King of Fruits”, Durian has been a delicacy and cultural symbol of abundance, boldness, and indulgence.
Cultural Symbolism: Represents luxury, fertility, and tropical pride — a fruit so rich in flavor and aroma that it commands awe and respect.
Modern Application: Used creatively in avant-garde perfumery, gastronomy, and spa concepts, where it embodies tropical authenticity and fearless sensuality.
⚗️ Production & Extraction
Extraction Method: COâ‚‚ or solvent extraction of ripe durian pulp, carefully processed to capture its aromatic sulfur compounds and creamy esters while softening harsh top notes.
Key Compounds: Ethanethiol, diethyl disulfide, acetoin, and esters — responsible for its complex, savory-sweet, and creamy-fruity aroma.
Quality: Thick golden-brown extract with bold aromatic intensity and exceptional longevity.
Distinctiveness: Unlike any other fruit aroma — a paradox of decadence and fermentation, blending the sensual with the primal.
