"...In a world where scent is the ultimate statement, Aesop’s latest fragrance, Aurner Eau de Parfum, dares to challenge conventions. Created by master perfumer Céline Barel, this exquisitely layered fragrance defies expectations, fusing the delicate allure of florals with the grounding depth of rich, woody notes. And because true luxury is in the details, Aesop has collaborated with renowned jewellery designer Patcharavipa Bodiratnangkura to bring the fragrance to life through an exclusive, sculptural jewellery collection..."
“Roman Chamomile plays a key role in the fragrance, to intensify the bloom…Due to its olfactive complexity, it bridges the floral, spicy, aromatic facets together, going from top to heart of the fragrance.” says Céline Barel, a visionary in Aesop’s olfactory universe.
At first spritz, Aurner opens with a luminous burst of citrus, cardamom, and pink pepper, shimmering with freshness before giving way to the delicate yet complex warmth of Roman chamomile. As it unfolds, the fragrance’s heart blooms—magnolia leaf intertwined with geranium—before settling into a sensual base of sandalwood, cypriol, and cedar heart. The result? A floral fragrance unlike any other, effortlessly balancing lightness with depth, vibrancy with sophistication.
Named after the Old Norse word for "to be adorned with flowers," Aurner is more than a fragrance—it is an experience, an intimate ritual of self-expression. To amplify this ethos, Aesop enlisted Thai fine jewellery designer Patcharavipa Bodiratnangkura to create an exclusive, limited-edition ear cuff, inspired by the raw, sculptural beauty of the magnolia petal. Meticulously handcrafted in 925 sterling silver, plated in rhodium, only 200 pieces will be available worldwide in select Aesop boutiques—marking the brand’s first venture into jewellery.
A trailblazer in contemporary jewellery, Patcharavipa is celebrated for her ability to find beauty in imperfection, a philosophy deeply rooted in Wabi-Sabi aesthetics. Her designs are bold, textural, and unapologetically modern, yet they honour the traditions of Thai craftsmanship. For Aurner, she translates the perfume’s evocative contrasts into sculptural forms—delicate yet powerful, organic yet strikingly refined.
Completing the collection, an exquisite magnolia-inspired necklace mirrors the very essence of Aurner. Designed to rest at the pulse point—where fragrance is traditionally applied—its statement petal pendant captures both the sensuality of scent and the intimacy of adornment. This one-of-a-kind creation also takes centre stage in Aesop’s campaign, an ode to the beauty of contrasts.
“I have always seen the magnolia as a symbol of power and purity. When one thinks about designs derived from florals, one might often think of something feminine or overtly sweet. I see florals differently. I see them as something very sculptural, very strong, and naturally perfect.” says Patcharavipa.
Encased in Aesop’s signature amber glass bottle, Aurner Eau de Parfum is an invitation to indulge in a new kind of floral—one that is bold, modern, and unforgettable. Much like the exclusive Patcharavipa jewellery collection, it is not just something you wear. It is something you embody.
