About
Hwyl by Aesop is a Woody fragrance for women and men. Hwyl was launched in 2017. Top notes are Spices and Thyme; middle notes are Cypress and Woody Notes; base notes are Olibanum, Vetiver and Oakmoss. "The passing impression of Hwyl Eau de Parfum’s smoky introduction folds aromatic spices into fresh Thyme Extract.
