ANCIENTS ° EXTRAIT DE PARFUM

Vibe ° Fougère ° Evergreens ° Woods ° 

Inspired by the eternal quietude of coastal forests of California, a constant source of insight. Bathe in the stillness of ancient redwoods, cypress and fir held by the fresh wetness of fog, soil, and fern. Ancients is a bhumigandha, an earth perfume, a naturalist’s fougère, a meditation of evergreens on the skin.

“In my perfume, head notes of evergreens, fir, cypress, pine—oils that evaporate quickly off the skin—represent thousands of years of knowledge imprinted in our consciousness...”—Tanaïs, “Ancients,” In Sensorium: Notes for My People

AVAILABLE IN 30 ML and 50 ML EXTRAIT DE PARFUM

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.
