Tellus (EDP)

"Tellus EDP is a unisex woody aromatic fragrance released in 2015 by Liquides Imaginaires as part of the Les Eaux Arborantes trilogy. Its concept centers on earth and roots, presenting a dark, grounded, telluric character built around patchouli, earth, moss, balsamic woods, and mineral-amber facets. The opening is notably earthy and patchouli-forward, with a damp-soil impression that quickly establishes its subterranean mood. In the heart, cashmeran, lily, and costus soften the structure slightly while preserving a vegetal, rooty, and somewhat musky texture. The drydown leans mossy, resinous, woody, and ambroxan-tinted, giving the fragrance a modern diffusion over an old-earth core. Overall, Tellus is one of the more introspective and atmospheric entries in the house, appealing to wearers who enjoy dark patchouli, forest-floor nuances, and conceptual niche perfumery."
