AESOP

Aesop’s latest fragrance release, Tacit, was formulated in collaboration with perfumer Céline Barel. It was born of two key inspirations: the fresh notes found in traditional colognes; and the Mediterranean coast, for its culture, topography, and fragile, perfumed vegetation. The title refers to knowledge that is implicitly understood rather than communicated directly, and alludes to an elusive, almost indefinable quality that is more readily experienced than articulated. Remarkable for its innovative construction, the formula blends refined ingredients sourced from around the globe, including Vetiver Heart, whose distillation process cleans the aromatic root of its earthy aspect. In keeping with Aesop’s aesthetic preferences and Barel’s flair for innovation, Tacit is at once familiar in its Yuzu-inspired citrus notes and distinctly contemporary in liberal use of Basil Grand Vert, which lends subtle warmth with delicately spiced undertones of Clove.
