Resolute Facial Concentrate—modern science and time-honoured botanicals. Formulated to support the skin through time, the sumptuous oil-serum combines a refined form of Retinoid with a generous dose of barrier-reinforcing Squalane, and Cedar Atlas—an essential oil known for its comforting properties.
Resolute Facial Concentrate represents years of meticulous research and refinement at our Melbourne laboratory—all to achieve a Retinoid-enriched blend of remarkable efficacy, comfort and compatibility with the skin.
Beyond strengthening the skin with HPR—a skin-supportive Retinoid—Resolute Facial Concentrate provides sensory pleasure with a sumptuous oil-serum texture that easily sinks into the skin. Night after night, massage three to five drops into freshly cleansed and toned skin before following with a preferred hydrator.
For renewed, replenished, resilient skin. Each droplet of new Resolute Facial Concentrate carries within it a potent, skin-supportive Retinoid, barrier-reinforcing Squalane and comforting Cedar Atlas—all working in unison to help expedite the skin’s natural surface renewal and enhance its resilience.
Resolute Facial Concentrate is enriched with an unprecedented ingredient in our range: HPR, a Retinoid of remarkable efficacy and compatibility with the skin. Equally distinctive is the formulation’s texture: a hybrid between an oil and a serum, comforting and readily absorbed, that leaves the skin feeling nourished, smooth and supple.
From renewal, resilience. Introducing Resolute Facial Concentrate, enriched with a gentle yet potent Retinoid, barrier-reinforcing Squalane and comforting Cedar Atlas—for maximum performance and minimal irritation. Discover more at the link in our bio.
A few tips for burning an Aromatique Candle: Trim the wick between to minimise soot. Use a match just for the feel and sound of it. Allow the wax to melt across the entire surface every time. Pause to note the distinctive aroma. Now, let your mind wander. Discover the range at the link in our bio.
Each Aesop Eau de Parfum has a particular—some might say ‘peculiar’—source of inspiration that its aroma intends to conjure: a person, a memory, a place. Take, for instance, our latest fragrance, Above Us, Steorra, which is inspired by the sense of awe and possibility felt when looking at a star-strewn sky. Explore the range via the link in our bio.
Aesop Bordeaux: evergreen depths, golden memories. This French store, designed in-house, occupies a stately corner building on a tranquil square, seeking to recapture the original spirit of the space. Original timber parquet was discovered underneath tiles and restored—some imperfections preserved as markers of faded glory—while the gold-veined marble added to counters heightens the warmth of the velvety clay walls. The cabinetry’s rough grain emerges through pine-green paint, tracing years gone by.
In just a few spritzes, Olous Aromatique Room Spray offers any interior an immediate enhancement. Its name honours a city of ancient Crete long lost to the Mediterranean seabed; its aroma is defined by a confluence of Grapefruit, Bergamot and Jasmine, balanced by breaking waves of Cedar, Galbanum and the refreshing spice of Cardamom.
Seven Rooms in Tokyo: the poetry of the everyday. Until 1 March, @skwat.site hosts an Aesop ode to quotidian rhythms. Within a distinctly domestic landscape, a curious itinerary unfolds in a series of meticulously designed rooms and events. Anyone planning to stop by is encouraged to bring along a volume for a book exchange—then hopefully depart with a new tome of their own.
Gifts radiating with warmth. A well-chosen gesture can both express and induce appreciation. Our sensorial formulations are equally suited to welcoming guests or conveying gratitude to generous hosts.
Aromas to awaken a world within. Fragrance can transform a space and transport the mind, providing moments of escapism and inspiration. Whether from flame, spritz or smoulder, our scents for self and surrounds—candles, incense, room sprays, oil burner blends and Eaux de Parfum—share an ability to stir the imagination.

Ginger Flight Therapy—a trusted companion for seasonal journeys. Roll on at the pulse-points to bring aromatic comfort amid crowded cabins and bustling terminals.
Each Aromatique Candle bears a quotation on the inside lip of its alabaster ceramic vessel—just one reason why they pair particularly well with an afternoon of reading, or pondering.
Bringing complex aromas to any enclosed space, our Oil Burner Blends can be used with any diffuser—though our substantive Brass Oil Burner makes a suitably poetic vessel. With names that may bring to mind certain inspirational female performers, Catherine, Béatrice, Simone and Joséphine Oil Burner Blends set the scene for relaxing moments.
Aesop Tainan Nanshan: monumental domesticity. Recently opened, the store takes cues from the modest grandeur of Tainan’s historic courtyard compounds built by prominent families—later known as Xie houses—with a blend of familial warmth and ceremonial precision. The ceiling and walls echo the cabinetry’s rhythmic repetition of slatted lines, while the trio of basins invites the type of leisurely conversation that might normally take place at home around the kitchen sink.
Inspiration for the inseparable. For those wishing to strengthen intimate ties or rekindle old flames, our fragrant pairings and home assortments may prove suitably sensuous and sensorially rewarding. Follow the link in our bio to explore gifts for those you hold close.

Explore and experience the compelling selection in-store.
An aromatic, customised keepsake. Not long ago at Aesop Sendlingerstrasse in Munich, Aromatique Candles were decorated by local artist Ina Streit. With each unique, meandering brushstroke (not dissimilar to ribbons of smoke unfurling after a candle is blown out) the ceramic vessels became one-of-a-kind centrepieces for the home—and perhaps inspiration for any budding painters out there. Those in the area are welcome to stop by Aesop Sendlingerstrasse on Saturday 7 February from 11am to 5pm, when more candles will be customised by Ina Streit.
To herald the Year of the Horse, swathes of Chinese calligraphy brushes have appeared behind select Aesop windows around the world. Arranged to mimic the sweeping motion of the animal’s tail, these forms capture the sense of an unbridled spirit, extending wishes for a year of confidence, power and poise.
Our Aromatique Room Sprays swiftly uplift a room—with three transportive scents to choose from. Spray with abandon before guests arrive.
Aesop Broadway Market: what walls have to say. The floral motifs of certain nineteenth-century English wallpapers may seem innocuous today, yet at the time they had a distinctly political edge. William Morris, the designer behind many of these patterns, was also a staunch defender of workers’ rights who argued for the value of craft and the handmade. The recent redesign of our Hackney store nods to the neighbourhood's countercultural spirit, and place in the Arts & Crafts movement. The interior is clad in a spectrum of yellow which, like botany-inspired patterns of old, alternates between textures and depths. A glossy ceiling catches the light from the street, spilling across the back wall to form a luminous relief against matte yellow planes.
