A new chapter unfolds in Aesop’s aromatic story as the brand’s latest Eau de Parfum—a glowing constellation of Amber, emblazoned with a radical streak of Cardamom—takes the form of a fragrant, thought-provoking fable.
From 30 September to 5 October, visitors are invited to the exhibition space of Bookand—a long-time partner and artistic outpost in Macau—where the worlds of literature, lifestyle and café culture converge. Here, visitors will have the opportunity to navigate through star-strewn skies aglow with possibility, where questions are posed through scent, an unexpected trajectory emerges, and olfactory answers are revealed. At the end of the journey, a small token awaits.

Harnessing Aesop’s unique olfactory signature—noted for its depth and complexity—Above Us, Steorra illuminates an enduringly nonconformist approach to fragrance creation, and a yet uncharted realm for amber fragrances. The story began with an abstract set of inspirations that Aesop shared with long-term fragrance collaborator Céline Barel: a poem by Mayuzumi Madoka titled ‘Shooting Star’, a photograph of the night sky, and imagery detailing the various hues of amber. This characteristically unconventional starting point led to discussions about the sense of awe and possibility one feels when looking up at a star-strewn sky—an experience that often leads thoughts to follow unexplored trajectories. Beyond the artificial lights, noise and routines that often define modern, metropolitan living, a moment when one might ask: shall we trust in the unknown?

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 unknown

Charting its own course

Seeking its own story

Propelled by a question:

Shall we trust in the unknown?

When:    

30 September – 5 October

Where:  

Bookand – Em Macau Rua De Inacio Baptista The Premier Court 4b, Macau
