I used to work at Aēsop, and I love their body products. There is some really good skincare, too, although I tend to not put essential oil containing stuff on my face anymore. But the original deodorant, the violet leaf hair balm, all the body balms, the body and hand cleansers, etc are so incredible. I miss getting that stuff for free haha. Also, Sebastian, if you tell an employee something you wish the brand had, they’ll probably make it. We had a couple meetings a year to get together and tell headquarters what clients want or what we want. For example, we (and clients) were asking for a body wash version of the Rind Concentrate body balm, and they made it a thing! They really listen to customer feedback.
Finally someone who appreciates Eremia as i do! Have been seeing so much reviews rating eremia as generic and boring. While i find it full of surprises! Was going to get Karst, because i love its freshness, which according to aesop’s description, simulating the feeling of standing on a sea cliff, with the breath of fresh air crashing onto your face. But I picked up samples of both Karst and Eremia, and finds myself having that ‘oh wow i smell good’ moment wearing eremia. It is calm and ethereal, reminds me of something sad and beautiful, something melancholic! just like the official description, a lost, abandoned city! I went straight getting the full size.
I know Hwyl is their most popular scent but I prefer Tacit. It's citrus spices combo wears great on me and with great longevity. I haven't tried the three new ones. I might have to stop in soon.
I've gone through 3 bottles of Marrakech Intense, it's a feel-good fragrance for me, for sure. I like Tacit, but it was so fleeting. I like their shampoos and conditioners, but they have been out of stock on shampoo for 6 months. I was told at the store that they are reformulating the shampoos and ran into supply problems.
I love their personal hygiene products. Mouthwash ,toothpaste and deodorant are so good. Also love their hand soap and rose shower gel. I’m Trying to buy the oil burner made of solid brass sold out everywhere. Love the fact every store around world is different and unique
Mystra (discontinued) is a great myrrh and incense fragrance; very dry, arid scent. Marrakesh was reformulated as Marrakesh Intense; not sure what the difference was. Hwyl is lovely but after your review, I'm interested to sample Eremia now. Sadly, the prices have been creeping up lately as well...
Tacit is very good in hot weather. I like Hwyl but too smoky on me. Rozu is too spicy but not sure about the Marakesh. Out of these new three I like the sound of Karst. I don't mind aquatic.
Karst is my favorite. I got a bottle recently. If you’re into really dark and heavy fragrances I can see why you wouldn’t care for it, but it is very fresh and sparkly and a little powdery in my opinion
I've tried so many of their skincare products because they smell so nice and feel luxurious, but ultimately their formulations are not good for your skin. I do love their bodywash/hand soap, anything that you wash off does OK but don't expect any of their leave on products to do your skin any favors. Therefore, I'm glad they're going more into perfume, I love Hywl and also find Rozu and Tacit really nice but not quite worth the price.
It's not a leave on product but I really like their face scrub. I agree though, that some products seemed off regarding the ingredients like SLS in a sensitive skin shampoo or alcohol in toners...
My favourite is Rozu. I love the way the rose smells. It doesn't smell like the conventional rose, instead i can smell the whole life cylce of the plant, i.e. flower bud, leaves, stems, then a very subtle blossom to dried rose
I love Marrakesh Intense and it's the least pricey in their collection. They are priced high yes and I wish they were less expensive but I do occasionally get deals from the Saks I shop at. Great video.
Awesome video Sebastian...I was thinking when you mentioned marrakech intense hinted at l'air du dessert marocain - "Wow! L'Air..Marocain seems so unique to me - I didn't think there were any cousins of it out there!" Would you consider a comparison video for these two? (maybe throw in 1 or 2 more if they exist)? Like you did for POAL - where you introduced me to Belgravia Chypre (like 90% identical to POAL)! Thank You...You are the best!
Thank you Sebastian for the video! Been waiting eagerly for this. Karst is definitely in the last place for me as I find it the least interesting among the collection. My top pick has to be Marrakech Intense, it's tried and true, with Eremia coming in 2nd. Miraceti is so unique, but it doesn't sit well in humid Asian climates so I'm still getting used to it.
Hi Sebastian! Thanks for presenting us this new line! I recently tried All Saints Incense city and I love it. I would like to see you review all All Saints fragrances 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for the amazing video! Do you believe in seasonal fragrances? Actually I love Hwyl so much but don’t know if it’s too heavy during summer so I’m considering getting either Eremia or Miraceti instead. Because I know once it gets colder outside I will get Hwyl anyway.
I am a huge fan of Aesop but the new fragrances are just way too expensive I feel like...I was really exited for them to be released but unfortunately they didnt give me any WOW effects. I will just stay with Tacit.
That Miraceti is a sleeper beast. It grows and definitely gets dark. Loved the opening...then it turned to a scrubber for me. I don't think I was the target audience for this one!
195$? For a 50 ml, Omg sometimes i wonder what goes into these perfume that makes them so expensive i mean is it the ingridient ? Or is it the marketing? Or is it just the prestige of the brand ?
Aesop has always been expensive. The most ridiculous one is their sanitizer. I must say though, their store ambiance is the best and the stores here in Sydney even serve wine. Their fragrances are also in a different section where you can have your zen moment and test the fragrances at your pace.
I have Hywl and really wanted to try these and don’t live near an Aesop,but they’re so tight they don’t have samples available to buy. So shortsighted and kind of ruined my opinion of the company. 👎🏽
I used to work for this company and it’s the most toxic and discriminatory company I have worked for. The products are above average but the company culture is revolting.
Nah Sorry, but it's not worth it imo Aesop perfumes smell just like soap or shampoo, essential oils or aromatherapy, not real perfume. It would be great if the prices were more reasonable, but the cost performance ratio is pretty bad.
