Aesop Eidesis, Sample
Eidesis by Aesop is an Amber Woody fragrance for women and men, launched in 2022. This rich, opulent spicy scent showcases a mesmerising combination of spices and precious woods. The fragrance opens with the vibrant and invigorating scent of black pepper, which adds a dry, spicy sharpness, balanced by the fresh, slightly bitter aroma of petitgrain. The olibanum, present from the start, envelops these top notes in a resinous, exotic warmth, creating a mysterious and captivating introduction.
As the fragrance unfolds, the heart reveals a blend of cedar and cumin, providing a warm, woody depth with a touch of earthiness. The olibanum continues to weave its exotic magic, accentuating the heart with a subtly smoky and slightly sweet undertone. This combination creates a rich, textured layer that is both intriguing and comforting, evoking a sense of timeless allure.
In the dry-down, the base notes of sandalwood, cedar, and vetiver come to the forefront. The sandalwood contributes a creamy, soft woodiness, while the cedar adds a dry, resinous quality. Vetiver introduces an earthy, green complexity, grounding the composition with its robust, grassy character. Together, these notes create a lingering, sophisticated finish that leaves a lasting impression of elegance and depth. The exotic resinous beauty of olibanum adds an exotic and mysterious nuance to a fragrance that fans of serious niche perfumes must try.
