About
Tacit by Aesop is a Woody Aromatic fragrance for women and men. Tacit was launched in 2015. The nose behind this fragrance is Céline Barel. Top notes are Yuzu and Citruses; middle note is Basil; base notes are Vetiver and Cloves. The new fragrance Tacit was launched as a contemporary interpretation of classical colognes. The new creation by Aesop was developed in collaboration with perfumer Céline Barel. Two key inspirations lie behind the fragrance: the fresh notes found in traditional colognes; and the culture, topography, and fragile, perfumed vegetation of the Mediterranean coast. Tacit Eau de Parfum was created of the most precious ingredients collected worldwide, to provide a refreshing composition which would unite aromatic spices and earthy components in a unique blend. The fragrance starts with refreshing citrus notes, among which the most prominent one is yuzu. To provide the scents of the Mediterranean the heart offers intense green basil. The spicy, long-lasting base closes with vetiver and cloves flavor to ensure subtle warmth.Tacit Eau de Parfum is packed in a simple, yet elegant flacon hiding orange-shade fragrant liquid to depict the warmth of the composition. Advertising campaign for the fragrance is accompanied with a photo by Australian photographer Jonathan McCabe. Tacit by Aesop can be purchased as 50 ml Eau de Parfum, and will be perfect for men and women.
