๐ฟ Introduction Mangosteen Peel Extract (Aroma) โ derived from the thick purple rind of Garcinia mangostana, known in Thailand as เธกเธฑเธเธเธธเธ (Mangkhut) โ is a rare tropical aromatic that captures the essence of the โQueen of Fruits.โ Its scent is fruity, sweet-tart, and slightly woody, with juicy berry-like brightness balanced by subtle resinous depth. This exotic extract evokes the feeling of opening a fresh mangosteen under tropical rain โ lush, vibrant, and mouthwateringly natural, yet refined enough for fine perfumery and wellness formulations. At Herbsmetics, Mangosteen Peel Extract (Aroma) is celebrated in our Perfume & Botanical Composition Workshops in Phuket as a symbol of tropical elegance and sensory abundance, showing guests how fruit peels โ often overlooked โ can offer uniquely sophisticated aromatic experiences. ๐ธ Aroma Profile Top Notes: Bright, tangy, red-fruity โ reminiscent of lychee and plum. Heart Notes: Sweet, creamy, with subtle tropical florality. Base Nuance: Soft woody-resinous tone with a hint of honeyed warmth.
