ANCIENTS ° CANDLE

Hikes inside an ancient redwood forest, with evergreen notes of cypress, balsam pine, rosewood and California bay laurel punctuating the cool wetness of dew-soaked ferns and soil. Notes of lavender, geranium absolute and violet leaf evoke the bright green notes of these surreal coasts.

Burn time: 50 hours

*Our candles are made with uplifting top notes, so there is a variation from the perfumes, which contain many more natural ingredients.

TANAÏS is a Brooklyn-born fragrance and beauty house founded by Hi Wildflower, a Bangla-American writer, perfumer, and activist. Each scent is a story drawn from South Asian heritage, diaspora memory, and the sensory landscapes of travel, devotion, and desire.

The collection spans extrait de parfum, perfume oils, and candles alongside color cosmetics, all crafted with intention and rooted in the belief that fragrance is a form of literature. Evocative names like Mala, Mojave, Pilgrimage, and Heart Chakra speak to a world where beauty is both personal and political.

An independent house with a singular voice. TANAÏS makes scent for those who wear their story on their skin.
