About

Mangosteen is the ripe fruit of Garcinia mangostana, native to Southeast Asia. Extraction gives little, so its scent is built from aroma compounds and accords. It smells juicy and tropical, balancing tart and sweet, with peach, lychee and pineapple tones. A creamy undertone and a faint floral note follow. It opens bright and tangy and settles to a rounded fruitiness.

Origin

Mangosteen is sourced from the ripe fruit of Garcinia mangostana, native to Southeast Asia. In perfumery, its scent is typically recreated using aroma compounds and accords, as direct extraction yields little usable essence.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers employ mangosteen primarily as a top or heart note to impart a fresh, exotic fruit character. It blends well with other tropical fruits, white florals, and green notes, and is used to add vibrancy and complexity to modern fruity compositions.
