Petitgrain, nutmeg, and lime open it fast and a little sharp, more citrus-green than sweet, with the nutmeg keeping it from reading as a generic aromatic spray.

Eucalyptus, geranium, and lavandin make up what Aesop calls its "Pure Air" accord: cool, slightly medicinal, the kind of green that feels like walking into wind rather than standing near a garden.

This one comes with a story. Aesop built it around a fable about a wind that's afraid of the disruption it might cause. According to outlets covering the launch, it also doubles as the brand's first bottle redesign in roughly two decades, part of a wider relaunch of its fragrance range under the name Fragrant Fables. It's priced in line with the rest of Aesop's fragrance line.
