About
A frosted amber glass flacon rises from a matte charcoal carton, both labelled in Aesop’s restrained sans-serif. Twist off the deep-black cap and an atomiser releases a cool mineral opening of juniper, pink pepper, and bergamot that suggests wind over coastal limestone.
Herbaceous thyme follows, settling into a long, resinous dry-down of cedar and vetiver that lingers close to the skin. The 50 ml bottle fits palm or pocket, its cylindrical form free of decorative flourishes apart from a subtle bevel at the base, allowing it to display upright without a visible seam. A fine-mist spray delivers a uniform cloud—no sputter, no overspray—so a single press behind the ears or over a freshly laundered collar suffices.
Karst is neither overtly masculine nor floral; instead, it offers a clean, atmospheric impression that complements understated style rather than competing with it.
