Aēsop Karst is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2021, created by Barnabé Fillion. Karst opens with Bergamot, Pink Pepper, and Juniper, settles into a heart of Cumin, Rosemary, and Sage, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Aēsop's Karst carries a Favourite verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

A truly unique scent that divides opinion; those who love it, really love it. Expect a fresh, moody marine aroma that evokes stormy coastlines and wild apothecary gardens, but be prepared for its notorious disappearing act.

About

Karst opens with a vibrant, zesty burst of bergamot and juniper, underscored by a sharp hit of pink pepper. This swiftly mellows into an aromatic heart of cumin and herbal notes like rosemary and sage, giving it a distinctive salty, almost mineralic edge. The journey culminates in a grounding base of cedar, sandalwood, and vetiver, leaving a sophisticated woody trail that hints at ancient trees and damp earth after a bracing sea storm.
