Our Story

What is SōmaScents

Derived from the ancient word “Sōma”—a sacred elixir in Sanskrit and Tibetan lore known for granting vitality and spiritual clarity. Our incense is designed to calm the mind and nourish the spirit. We offer a carefully selected range of oriental incense sticks, cones, and handmade accessories from Japan, Nepal and China—each created to help you pause, breathe, and reconnect. Every item is more than just a product; it’s a gentle ritual for everyday life.

 

Who We Are

SomaScents was founded in England by Ryan Huang, a creator shaped by both Eastern and Western cultures. Born in China and educated in the UK, Ryan blends Eastern wisdom with Western design to create a brand that feels both grounded and unique. This mix of backgrounds gives SomaScents a multicultural spirit and a thoughtful style. With simple designs, raw textures, and a focus on mindfulness, we aim to bring a sense of calm and purpose into modern living.

 

Our Values

We believe in the power of slowing down and finding meaning in small, quiet moments. Our values are expressed through three core ideas:

Sō Pure
We care about the planet and your wellbeing. That’s why we use clean, sustainable ingredients and eco-friendly packaging—keeping things pure and intentional.

Sō Simple
Our products are designed with simplicity and honesty in mind. With minimal and raw aesthetics, they create space for quiet thinking and inner peace.

Sō Natural
Nature is at the heart of everything we do. From the way we source our materials to how our incense smells and feels, we honour the natural world and its calming influence.
