Surreal, psychedelic, sultry scentscapes—inspired by Tanais' ancestral and spiritual homes: Bangladesh, New York City, India, Hawaii, Bali, and California.

Everything—every place on Earth and each one of us—is connected. When you smell a Studio Tanaïs perfume, you understand intimately, instantly, that these olfactory odes are drawn from a deep well, imbued with the ancestral, with a reverence for ritual, lineage, spirituality and history, all while being modern, sexy, and transcendent. These are opulent, original works of art.

Scent travelers, this one's for you, a self-made discovery set, meant to take the wearer on a sacred journey.

Each of these six singular perfumes are designed and handcrafted by Tanaïs in NYC. Using rare and hypnotic resins, absolutes and oils from around the world, along with the finest perfumer’s grade raw materials, these mixed media compositions are works of art, for your body and soul.

"In overwhelming accordance, we selected In Sensorium by Tanaïs as the winner of the 2022 Kirkus Nonfiction Prize for its daring, inventiveness, vision, and lyrical eloquence. Using the framework of fragrance and scent, the author's work confronts aspects of our society related to women, gender, and people of color. Seductive, vital, and incomparable, this is a reading experience that endures."
