Meet the Curator Prin Lomros

I have always loved the part of the city where The Peninsula Bangkok is located: Charoennakorn Road, alongside the Chao Phraya River. It is a place deeply infused with history, but also with thriving modern luxury. My signature scent for the hotel aims to capture this distinctive confluence of past and present, epitomised by both the area and the property.
FRAGRANCE NOTES
Mango, Lotus, Orchid
DESCRIPTION & INSPIRATIONS
Top Notes: Pineapple, Mango, Mint
Middle Notes: Orchid, Rose
Base Notes: Sandalwood, Cedarwood
This fragrance’s fruity top notes of mango and pineapple are enhanced with floral essences of lotus and orchid, and further nuanced by underlying notes of mint and sandalwood. The resulting scent is warm, blissful, and inviting – almost “golden” in character.
The “golden” fragrance pays tribute to the history of Thailand, whose original name, Siam, was Sanskrit for “Land of Gold.” It also nods to Bangkok’s Chao Phraya River, whose waters glitter gold in the sunlight, a sight enjoyed by guests of The Peninsula Bangkok, which sits along the riverfront.
“With this scent I hope to conjure the feeling of sipping a cocktail on the hotel terrace, while watching the sun’s rays play across the surface of the river at sunset,” said Prin Lomros, Fragrance Curator at The Peninsula Bangkok. “The fragrance, like the experience, should be luminous.”
