Description

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

What is ANCIENTS ° EXTRAIT DE PARFUM and what notes does it feature?

ANCIENTS ° EXTRAIT DE PARFUM is TANAÏS's naturalist fougère, inspired by California coastal redwood forests. The composition bathes the wearer in ancient redwoods, cypress, and fir held by the fresh wetness of fog, soil, and fern. Founder Tanaïs calls it a bhumigandha, an earth perfume.

What is ANCIENTS ° EXTRAIT DE PARFUM made of?

ANCIENTS ° EXTRAIT DE PARFUM is composed at extrait de parfum concentration, higher than eau de parfum, meaning less fluid delivers more scent from evergreen essences, absolutes, and resins. TANAÏS offers it in 30 ml and 50 ml glass flacons with a spray applicator.

How do you apply ANCIENTS ° EXTRAIT DE PARFUM?

Spray ANCIENTS ° EXTRAIT DE PARFUM onto pulse points where skin runs warm: inner wrists, throat, and behind the ears. One to two sprays usually suffice at extrait concentration. Avoid rubbing the wrists together, which crushes the top notes of fir, cypress, and pine.

When should you wear ANCIENTS ° EXTRAIT DE PARFUM?

ANCIENTS ° EXTRAIT DE PARFUM wears well in cool, damp weather, at dusk in the woods, or as a grounding fragrance for meditative work. Extend the accord into your space with TANAÏS's ANCIENTS Candle, which carries the same coastal-redwood evergreens into the room.

What pairs with ANCIENTS ° EXTRAIT DE PARFUM?

ANCIENTS ° EXTRAIT DE PARFUM pairs with TANAÏS's ANCIENTS Candle for room-plus-skin continuity on the same evergreen accord. For a woodier companion on skin in your rotation, layer with TANAÏS's SÁNDALO Extrait de Parfum, which brings paired Royal Hawaiian and Mysore sandalwoods with volcanic-ash depth.
