A new version of Virere (2024). Part of the repackaged/rebranded 2026 Fragrant Fables collection.

‘A fragrant fable of citrus, green, woody notes, recalling a Mediterranean summer. Seeking Virēre evokes scenes of summers past—perhaps an intimate conversation in sun-dappled shade. A fable about kindness told through scent, with a carefully balanced bouquet of Maté, Petitgrain, and Mastic brewing up the comforting impression of Warm Tea, sipped beneath a canopy of calming Cypress. All of this is contained in a newly redesigned bottle with an embossed Aesop insignia, and a pleasingly textured cap inspired by basalt—a rock on which our hometown of Melbourne was quite literally built.’ – Aesop
