The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2021, Karst by Aesop is a fragrance that combines fresh aromatic notes with woody undertones, crafted by perfumer Barnabe Fillion. The scent opens with the sharp freshness of juniper and bergamot, followed by pink pepper and rosemary, which add a spicy complexity to the composition. Vetiver, sandalwood, and cedar form the earthy base that grounds the entire fragrance, creating an intriguing contrast between its bright top notes and deep, woody warmth.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points for a balanced experience. The fresh top notes will last about an hour before giving way to the deeper, more woody base notes. This fragrance is best suited for daytime wear when its aromatic freshness can shine.
