by Aesop
Eremia by Aesop is a soft, green, and introspective fragrance with sharp citrus and herbal notes that evoke fresh-cut grass, rain on concrete, and wild vegetation. The opening is bright and clean — bergamot, grapefruit, and yuzu combine with a green galbanum accord to create a highly distinctive, almost cinematic effect. As it develops, a powdery iris and delicate mimosa emerge, warmed by guaiac wood and patchouli, forming a refined, meditative scent that lingers on skin and clothing with moderate subtlety. It combines the wildness of an untamed forest with the softness of a quiet country estate, making it especially evocative for those who appreciate abstract, narrative-driven perfumes. Despite its complex olfactory concept, the fragrance feels one-dimensional to some, lacking depth or decay that might have made it more immersive. Its performance is modest and fleeting, with most users noting it fades within an hour on skin and roughly half that on clothing.
