One of three ‘Othertopias’ by Aesop, the Karst Eau de Parfum transports you to an otherworldly realm — one that’s inspired by the inhalation and exhalation of the shore, with its rugged cliffs, herbaceous flora and salty, metallic wind howling among the waves.

An ode to water — nature’s most skilled architect — and its rhythmic tides, this elixir celebrates the undulating waves as they lick the land and carve into its stillness. Rather than creating this ethereal olfactory offering for a specific person or gender, Aesop forged this androgynous fragrance for the likes of pragmatists, prospectors and existentialists. Moody and fresh, the marine-like aroma is reminiscent of the seashore, with mineral top notes and stormy, metallic base accords.

Start by spraying it on your pulse points: behind the ears, wrists, ankles. It will rise in spirals around your body. Then spray a scent halo around your neck, head and hair.

A trio of fragrances inspired by places that blur the boundaries between the real and unreal, ‘Othertopias’ by Aesop transport the wearer to a faraway landscape, sparking a sense of wanderlust that throws the wearer into a passionate, unearthly reverie. Blending calcic and verdant accords with notes of juniper, pink pepper and bergamot, this aromatic elixir boasts a profile of rosemary, sage and cumin on a bed of vetiver, sandalwood and cedar.
