Ancients

$75.00

From Tanaïs:

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
