Senteurs d’Angkor Botanic Garden

Siem Reap


The botanic garden of Senteurs d’Angkor is a sort of Willy Wonka’s for the senses, where you can sample infused teas and speciality coffees in the on-site cafe. More a laboratory than a garden, the operators also make soaps, oils and perfumes here. It recently relocated to a stunning new centre near the Angkor Golf Resort.
