Nagi are divine female half-human, half-serpent beings from Hindu and Buddhist mythology, revered as guardians of treasure. The Nagi opens with the creamy sweetness of coconut and the verdant freshness of fig leaf, evoking the primal vitality of the serpent. Steamed Indian rice and spicy clove create a scent of profound warmth and comfort. Clean musk unfolds like the softness of a serpent’s renewed skin after shedding, blending seamlessly with sun-kissed warmth — tender, pure and familiar.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
An unhurried afternoon at home, with the window open and rice still warm in the kitchen. Green fig leaf keeps the creamy coconut from feeling heavy, while clove and musk suggest a close, tactile presence rather than a dressed-up entrance.
How to wear
Try it in mild weather or on cooler days, when the contrast between green freshness and warm rice can feel especially inviting. Start with one or two sprays on skin; in hot weather, apply lightly so the coconut and clove remain a soft accent rather than dominating.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to savory gourmands rather than confectionery sweetness. Its combination of coconut, steamed rice and green fig leaf suits a taste for creamy textures, restrained spice and soft musk, with comfort taking precedence over overt richness.
Release year
2025 (or 2026)
The nose
Maxime Exler and Véronique Nyberg are jointly credited with The Nagi, although the attribution is not unanimous. Nyberg brings a background in chemistry and an approach that combines technical precision with expressive contrasts of texture and warmth.
Param Sara’s story
Founded by Ankita Gill, Param Sara draws on Indian roots and experiences across Asia to explore fragrance as cultural storytelling and self-discovery. Its mythology-led compositions connect introspection with renewal, while the house advocates combining natural materials with biotechnology and green chemistry.
The Nagi’s concept
The Nagi belongs to Season 002, where it forms a complementary pair with The Naga. Its concept, “Cold to Heat,” translates transformation into a progression from green fig leaf and coconut to warm rice, clove and soft musk. The imagery draws on the Nagi, a female serpent being in Hindu and Buddhist traditions, and the tenderness of newly shed skin.
Extra info
The Nagi is offered in a 12 ml “Red Book” format as well as a 50 ml bottle. It also shares a two-sample Duality Set with The Naga, allowing the pair’s opposing cold-to-warm and warm-to-cold concepts to be explored together.
