Here’s some beauty eras I’m currently in:
My red lip era, my serum foundation era and my niche fragrance era which has kind of led me to my ‘revisiting Aesop’ era.
As a beauty editor, I’m always in some sort of temporary beauty era as we are often tasked with road-testing and reviewing different products.
And admittedly, although I work in marketing, even I occasionally get lured in (influenced) by beautiful packaging and spa-like smells that instantly conjure a relaxing, sensorial experience.
That’s something Aesop products do very well - (smell luxe) but also summon a peaceful, spa-like moment into your home and onto your body.
Whether that comes in the form of an incense stick that’s made in Kyoto, Japan (how cool?) or some ‘Post-Poo’ drops that help mask any odors after ‘vigorous activity’ in the bathroom.
So in the last couple of months I’ve added three Aesop products to cart based purely on smell (and making my tiny Sydney bathroom look cooler).
1. Aesop Eidesis Eau de Parfum.

Considered a warm and earthy scent that develops into a 'deep spice, damp earth and dry woods'.
My mini Aesop Eidesis Eau de Parfum review:
I often talk about how much I love Aesop Marrakech; I first sniffed the spicy and kind of enigmatic unisex scent in my cousin’s room and instantly fell in love with it.
It’s a very “Sadaf” smell (I would even say it’s my top Aesop fragrance pick), however it has a little too much bite for everyday wear.
I was on the hunt for something that equally captures that typical Aesop spa-like scent, with slightly less intensity.
For me that is Aesop Eidesis. It's just as earthy, herbaceous and smells like an expensive spa.
The same cousin who owns Marrakech always compliments me on it when I have it on, so that's how I know it’s the right pick.
I've been spritzing (more accurately, dousing myself in it) everyday, and its uplifting smell always makes me feel super fresh and amazing.
