Echoes of you: Eidesis Eau de Parfum

In Eidesis—the next chapter of the Othertopias fragrance collection—woody, spicy and ambery accords collude to enthral the senses.  The first three Othertopias Eaux de Parfum—Miraceti, Karst and Erémia—were inspired by journeys to places both real and imagined. From high seas to the shore, each scent explores worlds within worlds and was created in collaboration with Aesop’s long-term fragrance partner, Barnabé Fillion. Eidesis—the fourth chapter, also realised in partnership with Fillion—takes the wearer to an imaginary world beyond the surface of the mirror where they may reflect on the complex nature of desire.

Retold through the centuries in painting, dance and song, the story of Narcissus and Echo is a universal tale of longing and loss, desire and deception. In Eidesis, these innate emotions are evoked through a beguiling blend of woody, spicy and ambery aromas, lending notes of provocation to the everyday. Here we narrate this experience of the scent as a captivating myth unfolds in the modern day.
