Fragrance
Aesop Virēre, Sample
Virēre by Aesop is a Woody Aromatic fragrance for women and men that evokes the serene freshness of a Mediterranean escape. It opens with the invigorating and verdant scent of galbanum, a note that is both resinous and green, paired with the crisp brightness of petitgrain, which brings a citrusy elegance. This lively introduction is enhanced by a burst of zesty bergamot, adding a touch of sparkling vibrancy that awakens the senses.
As the fragrance unfolds, it reveals a warm, enticing heart of herbaceous green tea, offering a soothing and refined softness. This is artfully contrasted with the piquant and slightly spicy hint of pink pepper, which adds a touch of warmth and intrigue. The inclusion of resin provides a subtle depth, enriching the heart with a smooth, balsamic quality.
In the dry-down, the scent settles into an earthy and rich base, where the woody notes of cedar lend a grounding, aromatic strength. The infusion of green mate adds a slightly bitter, tea-like nuance, complemented by the sweet, hay-like undertones that bring a comforting and natural finish. This fragrance is a testament to the dynamic complexity and modern creativity of the niche brand, Aesop.
