Fragrance
Aesop Ouranon, Sample
Ouranon by Aesop is an Amber Woody fragrance for both women and men, introduced to the world in 2023 by the perfumer Barnabé Fillion. This scent is inspired by the final chapter in the story of Othertopias, evoking a journey home that prepares the spirit for new beginnings. The fragrance opens with the invigorating sparkle of citrus, encapsulated by an aromatic bouquet of lavender and elemi. Petitgrain adds a crisp, green facet to this lively opening, setting the stage for a rich olfactory experience.
As the scent unfolds, the heart notes emerge, where the dry, grassy aroma of hay intertwines with the soothing depth of chamomile. Frankincense imparts a smoky, spiritual undertone, adding a layer of mysterious warmth. Together, these elements create an aromatic heart that is both herbaceous and resinous, evoking a sense of earthy tranquillity and introspection.
In the dry-down, Ouranon reveals its base of myrrh, patchouli, and tonka bean. Myrrh provides a balsamic sweetness that melds with the earthy richness of patchouli, while tonka bean adds a creamy, soft finish. The mineral earthiness present throughout the fragrance is accentuated in the base, grounding the scent with a comforting depth. This fragrance embodies a serene and reflective atmosphere, capturing the essence of a peaceful retreat into nature's embrace.
