Fabled brand
There’s much excitement in Edinburgh’s Stockbridge as the Aesop store has opened its doors. As far as the hipster aesthetic is concerned, this brand, which was established in 1987, was way ahead of its time, with plant-based unisex formulas and neat black and cream labels on amber packaging. We’re especially devoted to the Camellia Nut Facial Hydrating Cream (£33) and the Coriander Seed Body Cleanser (£17, pictured) with ingredients including black pepper and patchouli.
