First established in Melbourne in 1987, every Aesop store offers an unrivalled the multi-sensual experience. It’s a beautiful and unique scent, compounded by their cool and clean aesthetic, which these days, is such a given that it’s easy to forget the work required to create such a look. There are several stores (11 not including department store counters or stockists) across Melbourne and while no two are the same, each is clearly an Aesop store – testament to the genius in the brand’s design sensibility.

Shop tip: try the fragrances, which are not like your average department store perfume; with clove, cardamom and infused-chai scents, they are accessible, yet like nothing else on the market.
