Aēsop Above Us, Steorra is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Céline Barel. Aēsop's Above Us, Steorra carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one is divisive: some find it a gorgeous, cosy spiced vanilla, others say it's too heavy on the cumin and smells of body odour. Definitely one to try before you buy.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

With moderate longevity and sillage, it's suitable for various settings, though the prominent spice and resin might be a bit much for a formal office. Its warm, inviting nature makes it perfect for dates and cosy casual wear, while its complexity elevates it beyond simple daily use.

About

Steorra opens with a potent, almost fizzy burst of spice, led by peppery cardamom and cinnamon, quickly followed by a controversial hint of cumin. As it settles, a warm, inviting vanilla emerges, balanced by resinous frankincense and elemi, creating a subtly sweet, incensy amber profile that clings to the skin. It feels like an Aesop fragrance, blending familiar notes with an earthy, complex undertone.
