The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2015 by Les Liquides Imaginaires, Tellus was crafted by Nadège Le Garlantezec as an ode to the earth itself. The fragrance opens with a rich patchouli note that anchors the composition, creating a deep and grounding foundation. This is complemented by mossy undertones and woody accords, giving the scent a robust and natural feel. The base notes of amber and musk add warmth and complexity, making Tellus a unisex fragrance that resonates with earth's primal essence.
Apply Tellus lightly to your pulse points — it blooms slowly over time. Due to its earthy richness, it’s best worn in cooler weather when you want a scent that feels intimate and grounding.
