Community take

Yes, if you appreciate earthy, niche fragrances that stand out.

Tellus by Les Liquides Imaginaires has a unique earthy and woody profile, with many users describing it as reminiscent of damp soil and forest floor. The patchouli and moss notes are prominent, creating a rich, grounded scent that some find comforting and others consider too heavy or challenging. It tends to appeal to those who enjoy niche fragrances and earthy accords, while more casual fragrance wearers might find it overwhelming or off-putting. Commonly recommended for fall and winter wear, it is often seen as suitable for intimate settings rather than loud environments. Some users note that it can be polarizing due to its strong, earthy character and lack of traditional floral or fruity elements.
