🌿 Introduction Butterfly Pea Extract (Aroma) — obtained from the vivid indigo-blue flowers of Clitoria ternatea, known in Thailand as อัญชัน (Anchan) — is a delicate, dewy-floral essence with gentle notes of fresh petals, green stems, and soft sweetness. Its scent is subtle yet enchanting — airy, powdery, and quietly floral, evoking the serenity of Thai gardens after rainfall. Famed for its color-changing blue pigment in teas and skincare, Butterfly Pea now reveals its aromatic personality — a scent of tranquil elegance and natural purity, harmonizing beauty, wellness, and artistry. At Herbsmetics, Butterfly Pea Extract (Aroma) is featured in our Perfume & Botanical Composition Workshops in Phuket as a representation of Thai botanical grace — showing guests how gentle flowers can create emotional calm and sensory depth in natural perfumery. 🌸 Aroma Profile Top Notes: Fresh, green, and lightly floral. Heart Notes: Softly powdery, petal-like, with hints of sweet pea and violet. Base Nuance: Clean, musky, and faintly woody. The result is a peaceful, translucent floral aroma — a perfect symbol of serenity, balance, and quiet beauty. 🌍 Origins & Cultural Heritage Origin: Native to tropical Asia; cultivated across Thailand, Myanmar, and India. Historical Use: For centuries, Anchan flowers have been used in Thai herbal traditions to promote calmness, enhance hair strength, and symbolize inner clarity. Cultural Symbolism: Represents peace, creativity, and spiritual awakening; often used in temple offerings and celebratory beverages. Modern Application: A rising star in natural perfumery, spa rituals, and botanical skincare, blending sensory pleasure with cultural authenticity. ⚗️ Production & Extraction Method: Hydroalcoholic or CO₂ extraction of dried Clitoria ternatea petals. Key Compounds: Anthocyanins (ternatins), flavonoids, and minor terpenes — contributing to its floral-green, slightly sweet aroma and vibrant blue hue.
