ANCIENT GROUND
Alcohol-Free Eau de Toilette · Earth Element
Jasmine & Orris · Sandalwood & Oud · Dark Amber
Some places are remembered before they are discovered.
Ancient Ground is the deepest and most textural expression of Earth within Elemental Reverie. It is a sophisticated composition of luminous florals, creamy woods, dark resins and unexpected gourmand shadows.
Its opening is intriguing and deliberately difficult to categorize. Pear and green leaves bring a fleeting freshness, and bergamot lends a subtle brightness before the fragrance begins its descent into something warmer and more mysterious.
At the heart, jasmine and rose meet the velvety softness of orris. Beneath them lies an unexpected darker accord of dark chocolate, vanilla and aged rum. These are used not for sweetness, but to give the fragrance richness, warmth and remarkable depth.
Then the earth reveals itself.
Sandalwood, oud and warm amber emerge through a soft veil of musk, creating a smooth, almost tactile foundation. A lingering trace of jasmine brings light to the darker woods, while vetiver gives the composition its root-like, mineral character.
Ancient Ground feels at once botanical and architectural. It is the fragrance of flowers growing beside weathered stone, polished temple woods, and incense lingering somewhere beyond view.
Rich without becoming heavy, sensual without obvious sweetness, it seems to carry a memory within it: ancient, grounded and strangely familiar.
Composed in a water-based, alcohol-free base, it reaches the skin without the sharp note of alcohol. From the first breath, what you meet is the fragrance itself.
Wear it when you need to feel rooted: cool evenings, slow mornings, the moments you want to return to yourself.

Let customers speak for us
from 89 reviewsI was just mentioning today about the new " winter solstice " Candle I had received - and how unique the soft blend of pleasant, fragranced cocoa nut and apricot was - and I absolutely loved the unique combined fragrances .
I am such a huge fan of Inner Candescence products! I've ordered and re-ordered their amazing candles (the scents last forever); the bath salts and soaps (such lovely scents and I wish they were even stronger, but that's just my love for these inspired scents and how they make me feel); the room sprays (I find I can't live without using these in my home, now. My favorite scents are the Celestial bloom and Forest bathing); and now, the wonderful new fragrance collection of Eu de toilettes! I bought the Discovery set of sample bottles, and each one is not only uplifting for me and the people around me, but swoon worthy!
I also love the scented lotions and am still using my first bottle of Celestial Bloom scent.
Finally, I have purchased several canvas prints in many sizes. I truly feel that as soon as I open them up and look at them, I feel such a high vibrational field emanating from them. I have "The Crystalline Heart" and the "Unity Field Healing template" in my meditation room; and gracing my living room is the stunning deep colored Lotus in a nice large size, as well as the lighter colored Lotus in a medium size in my bedroom.
Being surrounded by and interacting with all of these amazing products that are clean and handmade with such loving care has been healing and joyful for me as well as so uplifting and calming. They are a visual and energetic blessing for all of the 5 senses and for making my home a true sanctuary!
I have enjoyed exploring the Discover set. However, I am having a difficult time finding the ONE. So, I will continue to play around with them. I seem to be going more by the name than the scent. Which is my problem. So, I will continue. Wrapped beautifully, arrived in great shape. Thanks for putting this together. Keep on, keeping on with this great new adventure.
Shopping experience always faultless; the care obvious.
Enjoying my second Celestial Bloom Lotion! Perfect ingredients and the perfume is perfect for me.
Aqua Solace is an absolutely gorgeous candle — fresh, clean and beautifully scented without ever becoming overpowering. I especially love knowing that it’s hand-poured using coconut-apricot wax, a cotton wick and phthalate-free fragrance rather than the toxic ingredients found in so many mass-produced candles. The quality really shows in the way it burns: clean, even and remarkably long-lasting. I’ve burned mine for hours at a time and am genuinely impressed by how slowly it disappears while still filling the room with this beautiful, fresh scent. It feels luxurious, lasts beautifully, and has quickly become one of those candles I never want to be without.
I have extremely sensitive skin, so finding a soap that cleans well without leaving my skin feeling dry, tight or irritated isn’t always easy — these bars have been an absolute find. They’re incredibly gentle, create a beautiful creamy lather, and leave my skin feeling genuinely soft and clean rather than stripped. I love the different scents, but what impresses me most is how luxurious and nourishing the bars feel while still being gentle enough for my skin. I’ve actually started using them in my hair as well, and love how clean and soft it feels afterward! These have completely changed what I expect from a bar of soap, and I honestly can’t imagine going back to ordinary commercial soap.
Ocean of Stars is unlike any fragrance I’ve worn before — fresh and clean, but with a beautiful warmth and depth that makes it incredibly unique. I love that it’s alcohol-free, because there’s none of that harsh initial alcohol scent; you notice the fragrance itself right away. It has this gorgeous balance of fresh, earthy and subtly woody notes that feels sophisticated without being overpowering. I’ve found myself reaching for it every day and I absolutely love the way the scent develops after it’s been on my skin for a while. If you’re looking for something truly different from the typical department-store fragrance, (and many, MANY compliments) Ocean of Stars is absolutely worth trying
Always sent efficiently, quickly and as care-filled as the products are made. What a joy they are to receive and use!
I bought Ancient Ground as a gift but have been so beguiled by it I have kept it fas a light and lovely companion to the UFH Essence which I have always used. So I had to buy another for my Gift!
The whole process of ordering and all associated communication was so thoughtful and kind! The item arrived quickly, well and attractively packaged with little a lovely note that made the experience feel very personalized. I really appreciated the extra touches!
This is the most lovely fragrance imaginable! A blend of scents that’s both calming and alluring. Just like its name (between worlds) you can’t quite put your finger on what it consists of but the combination really works! It lasts for hours and hours which is amazing! Love it!
I have enjoyed every product that I have purchased from your site. The candles, especially because I cannot manage scented candles from the stores. They don’t work for me. Daily I use the mineral bath salts. I also would like an opportunity to have a face-to-face, maybe a Zoom call with Dr. John Ryan. I was in his class last April and May and it has been life-changing and I would love an address where I could contact him and share thank you Gail Batten.
Customer service was impeccable! Attention to detail. An expression of gratitude from the owner and a gift of a small bar of soap as a token of appreciation as well as an opportunity to experience the product, are gestures that made the experience memorable. Thank you!
