The Eau Arborante trilogy is dedicated to the majesty and power of ancient trees, and Tellus, the first from the series, takes that responsibility literally. This is a fragrance of strength, earth and soil, where rich patchouli meets moss and dirt, vegetal costus root and balsamic labdanum. But true to the name, Tellus is neither overwhelmingly dark nor heavy; it pulses with the natural electricity of growth and decay, of the self-contained ecosystem of the tree, reminding us that energy is never used up- only transferred. A naturalistic fragrance of extraordinary power, Tellus is a mystical introduction to the Eaux Arborantes.
