Above Us, Steorra

I'm going to go against the grain and say this is one of my favorite fragrances of the year, if not the last several years. I do not get unbalanced cumin, or sweat, or BO -- I get a warm, inviting mix of spices and resin and vanilla. It's a great soft, enveloping scent for daily wear -- doesn't project too aggressively, but you still get whiffs of it on yourself and on your clothes throughout the day. I think it's an absolutely perfect daily driver for late fall and early winter. I'm honestly distressed by how quickly I'm going through my bottle, because I know I'll restock and drop another $200 :P Just test it out and don't let the naysayers here dissuade you, lest you miss out on this beautiful, cozy, sexy fragrance.

I received a parcel from Aesop scented with Above Us, Steorra and both me and my boyfriend were instantly captivated by the scent. Can’t speak about the opening but the dry down is fenomenal and seems to last, at least on fabric, for ages. For me this is the Aesop equivalent of Diptyque 34 Boulevard St Germain. The entire Aesop universe in one scent, in the very best way. Cozy, sexy, luxurious. Needless to say we have a bottle coming soon. If I for some reason don’t like it on my skin I’ll drench my entire wardrobe in it instead.

Absolutely gorgeous. Feels like a cousin of Liis Bo but with more warmth. I'm surprised by so many of the low reviews - maybe it's because this one doesn't lean as avant-garde as many of Aesop's scents, but either way this one is a hit in my books. A fall/winter wear for sure but I think this one will be dear companion as things cool down. The scent is rather linear, but by no means simple. I imagine this will smell so good on a heavy wool sweater.

Absolutely love this scent. Very unisex. Just a beautiful warm, vanilla, spicey glow. Absolutely can not stop smelling my wrist from the couple of times that I’ve tried it. Initially put off by the asking price, however from a fair bit of research, similar scents, of which there don’t seem to be many, are even more expensive. After reading reviews I suppose I can kind of understand the stinky comments. Only kind of. But I kind of like it anyway.

this is it for me. i feel like i found my fragrance for this colder season.... it is beautifully warm, cozy but spicy, like a spiced chai latte. it does remind me of zielinski & rozen’s pink pepper perfume, which is similar but more sharp, spicy, attention seeking. this is more suitable for everyday. the scent is really light and subtle.
