Deep in Oaxaca's sacred valley stands El Árbol del Tule—an ahuehuete (Nahuatl for cypress) that has witnessed over two thousand years of history. A natural colossus born from an Aztec priest's planted walking stick.
The Zapotec people named it "the tree where life began," its massive trunk now wide enough to embrace 30 people at once.
DOS MIL AÑOS opens with bright grapefruit interwoven with cypress and cardamom, lifted by the sparkle of Timut pepper – evoking morning mist around the tree's massive trunk. The heart reveals warming spices of nutmeg and clove bud, complemented by roasted hazelnut and sustainable eucalyptus, representing the deep connection between earth and sky. The base pays homage to the Ahuehuete itself, supported by earthy vetiver and rich labdanum, capturing the tree's resinous strength. This gender-fluid fragrance bridges traditional perfumery with indigenous botanical heritage from Oaxaca

EMOTIONAL RESPONSE: Like standing beneath the sacred canopy of a two-thousand-year-old giant, DOS MIL AÑOS surrounds you with whispers of ancient wisdom and enduring strength. Bright grapefruit and warming spices dance through cypress-scented mist, while roasted hazelnut grounds you in the rich soil of heritage and tradition. This is the scent of time made tangible—of stories preserved in resinous bark and prophecies carried on the wind—a fragrant testament to nature's perseverance and the profound connections between past and present that define who we are.
Breathe in the resinous aroma of cypress as it exhales and quiets the mind.

INGREDIENT SOURCING
Since 2012, Givaudan has been collaborating with a local supplier to support a cooperative of 250 vetiver root producers from 3 villages: Together, they have achieved the Ecocert Fair for Life Certification, which ensures minimum prices, improved working conditions, and validates the social and environmental responsibility of the production. Members of the cooperative also receive training on good agricultural practices, particularly on how to limit soil erosion and improve the quality of the roots, as well as health and safety measures to consider in the field. The farmers benefit from a premium on the price of vetiver essence which feeds a development fund that is used to support different projects such as the construction of a new road, better electricity network, social infrastructures & capacity building supporting a cooperative of vetivers growers and their families.
