Aesop

Steorra

[steh-OH-rah] Old English, noun: stars.

Above Us, Steorra

A star, steady in the sky

Thought it was the only light

Solitary in its glow

But then a fire cut the dark

Disrupting certainties

A glimmer of possibility

And so it took the chance

Ignited with an amber glow

Illuminating the unexplored

Charting its own course

Seeking its own story

Propelled by a question:

Shall we trust in the unknown?

The fabulist accord

Glowing amber

A unique ‘fabulist accord’ of Frankincense, Labdanum and Vanilla Bean conjures the imagined scent of Amber, making the unscented, aromatic.

The radical ingredient

Sizzling Cardamom

A radical streak of Cardamom, unfiltered and unrounded, soars
from incandescent spice in the opening notes to glimmering warmth in the
base.

The blend

A compelling constellation

The fabulist accord and radical ingredient combine to create a
distinctly modern amber signature, which long-term fragrance collaborator
Céline Barel describes as ‘something incandescent—hot and cold at the same
time, a complex bouquet of spice.’

Inspiration

A story told through scent

The fable-like poem that evokes the fragrance’s point of inspiration nods to our namesake, Aesop the Fabulist, whose yarns have provided life guidance for over 2000 years.

‘The effect is to give us a glimpse of the meteor’s tail—incandescent radiance set against the cool, dark vacuum of space.’
