AÄ“sop’s first foray into the world of interior accessories is undoubtedly a step into the future – one that illustrates the joy of Scent, and teaches the importance of Sensibility.

It’s late autumn in Sydney, and there’s a mellow crispness in the air that betrays just a hint of something better to come – something fresh and verdant green, something amazing. Across the street of Victorian style terrace houses off Darling Street in Balmain, Aesop Chief Customer Officer Suzanne Santos waves us over.

Jasmine flowers creep unrestrained between a wall and gate, the blooms soft and velvety against the grunge green backdrop. She leans forward to take a breath, and beckons for us to do the same. It’s a small gesture, to be certain, but one that speaks volumes of the brand’s storied history. The distinctive fragrance – sweet and fresh and green – fills the air and captures the senses, evoking a sense of wonder at this beautiful world and all it has to offer.

A quiet the acknowledgement of the importance of respect – not just for the world and her resources, but also for communities and their cultures. To live well, and to be sensible about it all. These lessons reverberate throughout our time together, prominently featured at every turn.
