Chin-Suchin Kaewudon
Chin‑Suchin Kaewudon, known in the niche community as Chin, steers Butterfly Thai Perfume from a modest studio in Bangkok. He first tasted the chemistry of scent while assisting a local fragrance lab, where he learned to balance raw botanical extracts with synthetic accords. After years of apprenticeship, he launched his own label to give Thai ingredients a global voice. The brand’s debut collection arrived in 2019, and the following year his fragrance Kali Girl captured the Niche Perfumer Award, cementing his reputation as a fresh Asian talent. Interviews reveal that his daily challenge lies in guiding a small team that shares his vision of authentic, layered compositions. Though still early in his career, Kaewudon already commands attention at regional trade shows and invites collaborators to explore the soft, warm side of Thai heritage.

How Chin-Suchin composes
Kaewudon favors a layered approach, building scents from the ground up with a focus on balance. He often begins with a heart of jasmine, frangipani, or lemongrass, then grounds the composition with sandalwood, teak, or ambergris‑inspired synthetics. Light, warm accords emerge through careful modulation of spice and sugar notes, creating depth without heaviness. He prefers to let each ingredient breathe, adjusting ratios until the fragrance feels both intimate and expansive. The result is a soft, warm profile that feels unmistakably Thai yet comfortably global.
Philosophy
What drives Chin-Suchin
Kaewudon believes perfume should feel like a quiet conversation between tradition and modernity. He treats each accord as a memory, letting native Thai botanicals speak alongside familiar Western bases. Authenticity drives his work; he refuses to chase fleeting trends, preferring instead to honor the textures of his homeland while inviting a broader audience to experience them. Representation matters to him, and he sees each bottle as a small step toward greater visibility for Asian creators in the global fragrance arena.
