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

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.

Tanaïs is a multidisciplinary artist, writer and perfumer. Their book In Sensorium: Notes For My People, won the 2022 Kirkus Prize for Nonfiction. Their critically-acclaimed novel Bright Lines, was a Finalist for the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize, the Edmund White Debut Fiction Award, and The Brooklyn Public Library Prize. Their forthcoming novel, Stellar Smoke, will be published by Dutton Books.

A hypnotically original and lush speculative novel from award-winning author Tanaïs about technology, sex, spirituality, family secrets, and the mother–daughter bond across generations—ultimately blurring the boundary between past and present, human and machine.
