A new fragrance, infused with possibility
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. 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.
From inspiration, creation Barel explains how she interpreted the various points of inspiration and how a visit to an Aesop store also influenced the blend: ‘I wanted to create a “Celestial Amber”—an idea that came from looking at the ceiling of the Aesop Collins Street store in Melbourne, which is coated in salvaged and crushed Aesop bottles mixed with render. This instantly gave me the impression of a beautiful star-dusted sky. Above Us, Steorra is not just a star, it is a shooting star. It is something incandescent—hot and cold at the same time, a complex bouquet of spice—leaving a luminous trail in darkness. A transportive fragrance for nonconformists—and for conformists secretly longing for something gently subversive.’

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?
Above Us, Steorra Eau de Parfum will launch globally on 1 September 2025.
