Kurma
Kurma is a creamy green woody scent with an unusual mix of soy milk, pandan, shiso, violet leaf and kiwi over fig, pistachio and seaweed. It smells cool, smooth and quietly distinctive. Rather than turning dessert-like, it keeps its sweetness subtle and its texture airy. This suits shoppers who want a modern unisex fragrance with fresh lift, soft woods and a more.

Wear evidence is still very limited, so strong claims would be premature. Based on the structure, Kurma may come across as more refined and close-wearing than bold, with freshness and creaminess carrying the scent rather than heavy resins or dense sweetness. Sample first if projection or all-day longevity matters to you.
Notes Pyramid
Search these notesChoose where each note belongs.
Kurma smells creamy, green and woody with a fresh aquatic breeze running through it. The opening looks leafy and milky, touched by kiwi and pandan, then shifts into a softer fig and pistachio heart with cedarwood and seaweed adding shape. The base should feel smoother, mossier and lightly sweet from sandalwood, oakmoss and tonka bean.
Main Accords
11 MAPPEDThe woody accord seems to give Kurma its backbone, while the fruity side stays light and natural rather than syrupy. Aquatic, ozonic and marine facets likely create the cool space around the greener notes, and the sweet tones appear restrained. Moss and sandalwood in the base should keep the fragrance grounded instead of airy all the way through.

Fragranxe Review
EDITORIAL“Kurma Review”
Kurma is one of those compositions that looks unusual on paper and still manages to sound coherent in wear. The idea is built around creamy, green and woody textures, but it is not a dense comfort scent. It comes across cooler and more polished than that, with a mix of leafy freshness, airy fruit and soft milky smoothness.
The opening is where Kurma makes its point. Soy milk, pandan leaf, shiso, violet leaf and kiwi give it a very distinctive first impression. The milky note suggests softness rather than dessert sweetness, while pandan and shiso add a green aromatic angle that feels modern and a little unexpected. Kiwi brings a light tropical sparkle, but the fragrance does not read like a fruity cocktail. The supplied review describes it as creamy and coolly sophisticated, which fits the structure well.
As it settles, Kurma becomes more textured. Fig and pistachio deepen the creamy effect, but cedarwood and seaweed stop the scent from feeling too plush or overly edible. That contrast matters. Instead of moving toward a thick gourmand profile, it stays balanced between green, woody and aquatic tones. The fig note likely adds softness and a natural fruitiness rather than jammy sweetness. Seaweed, paired with the aquatic and ozonic accord profile, should give the middle a mineral breeze that keeps everything lifted.
The base looks calmer and easier to read. Oakmoss, sandalwood and tonka bean suggest a drydown that is smoother, earthier and slightly sweeter than the opening, but still grounded. Sandalwood should round the sharper green edges, oakmoss adds a mossy natural feel, and tonka probably contributes a gentle creamy sweetness instead of turning the fragrance heavy. On balance, Kurma seems more about texture and atmosphere than obvious projection.
Performance is the biggest unknown. There is not enough community wear data here to make strong claims about longevity, sillage or trail. The composition suggests a scent that may wear closer and feel more about personal space than room-filling impact, but that should be treated as an informed expectation, not a proven result. If performance is a deciding factor for you, this is one to sample on skin rather than buying on note pyramid alone.
What makes Kurma interesting is that it avoids easy categories. It is not a standard fresh aquatic, not a fig soliflore, and not a straight milky gourmand either. It sits between those spaces, which will be the main appeal for some buyers and the main risk for others. If you enjoy fragrances that feel cool, creamy, green and slightly coastal without becoming salty or sugary, Kurma looks promising. If you prefer simpler structures or a more obvious payoff, it may feel too subtle or too unusual.
FAQs
What does Kurma by SIAM 1928 smell like?+
Kurma smells creamy, green and woody with a cool aquatic edge. The opening suggests soy milk, pandan, shiso, violet leaf and kiwi, then moves into fig, pistachio, cedarwood and seaweed before settling into a mossy sandalwood and tonka base.
Is Kurma sweet?+
Only mildly. There is some soft sweetness from kiwi, fig, pistachio and tonka bean, but the review evidence suggests it stays controlled and does not read as heavily sugary.
Does Kurma smell gourmand?+
Not fully. The soy milk and pistachio can give it a creamy edible tone, but the green leaves, woods and marine facets stop it from becoming a straightforward gourmand fragrance.
Is Kurma more fresh or warm?+
It reads fresher than warm overall. The green, aquatic, ozonic and aromatic facets give it a cool feel, while sandalwood, tonka and moss add a softer base underneath.
Is Kurma unisex?+
Yes. The fragrance is presented as for women and men, and its balance of green, woody, creamy and aquatic notes makes it easy to wear across styles.

The unusual contrast between soy milk, pandan and shiso is the main hook. That creamy green opening is paired with fig, pistachio and seaweed, which gives Kurma a distinctive modern texture.
Is Kurma a good summer fragrance?+
It may suit warm weather well because of its airy green and aquatic character. The available seasonal signal points toward summer, though wear feedback is still very limited.
Would Kurma work for daily wear?+
It looks well suited to daytime use if you enjoy understated niche scents. Its note structure suggests a polished, calm style rather than something dense or overly dramatic.
Is Kurma office friendly?+
Potentially yes, especially if applied lightly. Its profile sounds smooth, cool and refined rather than loud, but performance data is too limited to make a firm projection claim.
How does Kurma develop on skin?+
It appears to open green, milky and slightly fruity, then turns woodier and more textured through fig, pistachio and seaweed. The drydown should feel smoother and earthier with sandalwood, oakmoss and tonka bean.
