The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2024 by Aesop, Virēre is a Woody Aromatic fragrance crafted by perfumer Barnabe Fillion. The composition opens with the bright zest of bergamot and petitgrain, giving way to the fresh, green complexity of galbanum and green tea. Pink pepper introduces a subtle spiciness, while mate adds depth and warmth. The base notes of hay and cedar provide a grounding earthiness that ties the entire composition together.

Virēre captures the essence of Aesop's commitment to elegance and simplicity, creating a fragrance that is both fresh and enduring. It seamlessly transitions from day to night, offering a sense of quiet confidence.

How to wear it

Apply Virēre to pulse points for a lasting effect. The citrus and green notes are most prominent initially, so if you prefer the woody base notes, wait about an hour before reapplying lightly. This fragrance is best suited for daytime wear as it captures the freshness of morning.
