Aesop’s Aurner Eau de Parfum draws on the poetic tensions between tenderness and strength to subvert the expectations of a floral fragrance. In an arrangement of unexpected contrasts, rousing spice and metallic notes converge with herbaceous depths, while a resonant floral heart finds roots in sumptuous woods.

Created with Aesop’s long-term collaborator Céline Barel, the fragrance combines key ingredients of Magnolia Leaf, Roman Chamomile and Cedar Heart for a resolutely unorthodox aroma. Central to the fragrance’s unconventional character is the use of Magnolia Leaf, rather than the flower petal, which brings a deeply nuanced luminosity to the scent, described by Céline as ‘complex, bright, somehow tea-like’.
