The crisp air of a late afternoon hike, where thyme and cypress mingle with the earthy scent of moss-covered rocks.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2017 by Aesop, Hwyl is a woody aromatic fragrance that balances fresh spicy notes with earthy depths. The composition opens with thyme and cypress, creating an herbal freshness that transitions seamlessly into the warmth of spices like olibanum and vetiver. Oakmoss adds a grounding element, rounding out the scent with its rich, earthy undertones. Hwyl's blend is both invigorating and comforting, reflecting Aesop’s commitment to quality and elegance.

How to wear it

Apply Hwyl to pulse points for an optimal experience. The fresh spicy notes are most prominent in the first hour, but the woody base continues to evolve throughout the day. It's best worn during cooler weather when its warmth and depth can be fully appreciated.
