Aesop

Fitzroy, Collingwood & Abbotsford


This homegrown empire specialises in citrus- and botanical-based aromatic balms, hair masques, scents, cleansers and oils in iconically simple packaging for both men and women. There are plenty of branches around town (and plenty of opportunities to sample the products in many of Melbourne's cafe bathrooms).
