Noème Paris Soma is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Amélie Bourgeois. Soma opens with Heliotrope and Tonka Bean, settles into a heart of Chocolate, Vanilla, and Caramel, and dries down to a base of Suede, Labdanum, and Rum. Noème Paris's Soma carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Soma is a divisive beast: some rave about its luxurious, boozy gourmand depth, while others can't get past its medicinal cherry and suede facets. Definitely not a blind buy.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

With its long-lasting performance and moderate sillage, Soma leans towards evening and special occasions. The rich, boozy gourmand profile is perhaps too opulent for a casual office setting, but perfect for making a statement on a date or formal event.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

About

Soma opens with a comforting embrace of heliotrope and tonka, hinting at a nuanced sweetness. As it evolves, a decadent heart of chocolate, vanilla, and caramel unfolds, rich and inviting. The journey concludes with a sophisticated base where the smooth texture of suede intertwines with the boozy warmth of rum and the resinous depth of labdanum, creating a complex, dark gourmand experience.
