Queen Soma-Devi, the first legendary ruler of the Khmer kingdom of Funan, was a Nagini — a serpent deity in human form, born of the Naga King who ruled the sacred waters of the Mekong. By marrying the foreign prince Kaundinya, she united land and water, giving rise to the ancient Khmer Empire. Inspired by her myth, Soma is a perfume of contrasts — a dance between light and depth, softness and strength

The fragrance opens with the luminous sweetness of lychee and wild berries, sparkling like morning light on river waters. A bright shimmer of bergamot lifts the spirit, inviting joy and playful curiosity. As the scent deepens, the lush heart of rose unfurls — soft yet commanding — echoing the beauty and power of Soma herself. Finally, the perfume sinks into a bed of resinous amber, earthy patchouli, and precious agarwood, leaving behind a hypnotic trail that is rich, grounding, and eternal, like the whispered legends of the Mekong

Soma is both a tribute and an offering — a scent for those who move between worlds, who carry light within their depths.
