Act II: Karst

‘The Shore’ signals a landscape sculpted by nature’s most skilled architect: water. The rhythmic coming and going of the tide creates a world in which inhalation and exhalation, departure and return, exist in a constant loop—where time is both accumulating and transitory. It is the impermanence of what’s to come, as undulating waves carve the land’s stillness and grasp the ground beneath.

Karst is but one fragrance in the Othertopias range—a collection inspired by worlds within worlds. Discover the other fragrances: resinous, woody, spicy Miraceti and green, floral, citrus Erémia.

Building Othertopias

Creating unorthodox fragrances requires an equally unorthodox approach. Here, Barnabé Fillion, Aesop’s long-term fragrance partner and the nose behind Karst, recounts this olfactory journey.
