The Aesop Shelf Everyone's Obsessed With: 15 Cult Hand Balms, Parsley Seed Serums & Amber-Bottle Splurges Worth the Apothecary Price
15
items The Aesop shelf that turns a bathroom into a boutique hotel. Inside: the cult Resurrection Aromatique Hand Balm and Hand Wash, Reverence and Eleos, the Parsley Seed Anti-Oxidant Intense Serum, Resolute Facial Concentrate, Lucent Facial Refiner, Purif...
The cult one. A thick rosemary-and-cedar hand balm in a tube that people buy for the scent as much as the hands. Easiest first Aesop purchase.
Resurrection Aromatique Hand Balm - Luxury Hand Care
The amber pump bottle you have seen in every nice restaurant bathroom. Same rosemary, cedar and bergamot scent as the balm and it makes a plain sink look expensive.
Resurrection Aromatique Hand Wash - Luxury Hand Care
The woodier, smokier sibling to Resurrection. Vetiver and sandalwood with a fine pumice grit, so it actually scrubs garden dirt and garlic off. My pick for a kitchen sink.
Reverence Aromatique Hand Wash - Luxury Hand Care
Lighter and greener than Resurrection, with citrus and a sinks-in-fast finish. The one to buy if heavy balms make you feel like you cannot touch your keyboard.
Eleos Aromatique Hand Balm - Luxury Hand Care
A hand serum rather than a balm, so it absorbs in seconds with no slick film. This is the splurge for anyone whose hands look older than their face.
Solais Replenishing Hand Serum
Aesop's antioxidant workhorse. A light, fast serum aimed at dullness and environmental stress rather than one single fix, and it layers under everything without pilling.
Parsley Seed Anti-Oxidant Intense Serum | Facial Serum
The priciest face step here and the one built for firmness and visible slackening. Treat it as a considered splurge, not a starter buy.
Resolute Facial Concentrate - Concentrates & Serums - Aesop Skin Care
A leave-on chemical refiner instead of a scrub, so it works on texture and dullness without the sandpaper feeling. Start twice a week.
Lucent Facial Refiner - Exfoliants & Masques - Aesop Skin Care
The manual scrub with quartz and lactic acid. Gritty but fine, and the tube lasts forever because you only need a pea. Good before a big night out.
Purifying Facial Exfoliant Paste - Cleansers - Aesop Skin Care
A vitamin B and C gel moisturiser that is genuinely weightless, so it suits oily or combination skin that hates creams. Sits well under sunscreen.
B Triple C Facial Balancing Gel | Facial Moisturiser
The green, herbal body wash that turns a normal shower into the hotel version. Foams well and the scent hangs around the bathroom afterwards.
Geranium Leaf Body Cleanser - Luxury Bath & Body
The heavier-duty body cleanser, sharper and more citrus-driven than Geranium Leaf. Better after the gym or a long day than as a relaxing soak.
Antithesis Intense Body Cleanser
Aesop's forest-floor fragrance, all vetiver and damp green woods. Unisex, quiet rather than loud, and the one people ask about without guessing the brand.
Silently, Hwyl Eau de Parfum
The warm, incense-and-amber one from the Othertopias line. Richer and more nighttime than Hwyl, and it wears beautifully into autumn.
Above Us, Steorra Eau de Parfum - Opulent - Aesop Personal Fragrance
The cheapest way into Aesop and the funniest housewarming gift on this list. A few drops in the bowl before you go, and the little bottle looks good sitting out.
