A Floral Fragrance of Strength and Delicacy
EDITOR'S EYE
Aesop’s fourth fragrance, "Rose Eau de Parfum," has arrived
Inspired by the life, work, and passions of modernist designer Charlotte Perriand, this fragrance is an homage to the Japanese rose that bears her name.
It romantically captures the life cycle of a rose, from its time growing in the earth to its blooming into a magnificent flower with a captivating scent, and finally, its ephemeral scattering.
Aēsop introduces its fourth fragrance, "Rose Eau de Parfum." This scent was born from a partnership with Barnabé Fillion, a long-time collaborator who also worked on Marrakech Intense, Hwyl Eau de Parfum, and the Aromatic Room Sprays series.

A Fragrance of Strength and Suppleness for All Genders
Born from the life, work, passions, and the Japanese rose named after her, of renowned French modernist designer Charlotte Perriand, "Rose Eau de Parfum" is a fragrance that evokes strength and suppleness. It is delicate yet expansive, with a lasting scent. Its appeal lies in its unisex nature, suitable for all genders.
This fragrance offers a unique interpretation of the rose, depicting its life cycle from the earth in a greenhouse to the blooming of a luxurious flower, and its eventual ephemeral scattering. It evokes contemplation of where roses bloom, while also recalling the works and legacy of Charlotte Perriand.
The top notes feature the captivating scent of rose, enhanced by petitgrain, bergamot, the invigorating zest of pink pepper, and the fresh aroma of shiso, inspired by Japan, a country Perriand was fascinated by throughout her life. The middle notes reveal a heady floral bouquet. While the dry, stimulating woody notes of ylang-ylang are present, jasmine enhances the rose's aroma alongside the light, smoky guaiacwood. The base notes offer a subtle hint of deep, powdery sandalwood, combined with the soft, woody, and earthy notes of vetiver, the warm, sweet herbal notes of patchouli and amber, and the balsamic notes of myrrh. A faint whisper of musk envelops it all.
"Rose Eau de Parfum" comes in a 50mL amber glass bottle, presented in a sophisticated box inspired by a photo collection of Perriand's past works.
