Aesop reviews and discussion

Aesop products are a great treat. They all smell scrumptious and they’re great on my sensitive skin. I’ve had great experiences with the hand soap, lotion, body wash, shampoo, and conditioner. I would definitely recommend any of their products for daily use or a guest bathroom to upgrade your home or short term rental.

Great products, they smell great, they clean well. Website, customer service is all great. I'd also recommend their perfumes they stay fragrant and is an easy smell to have on all day. Highly recommend all their products.

I first discovered Aesop in a restaurant bathroom and I remember immediately thinking how lovely both the hand soap and moisturizer were. The scent was distinctive and the whole experience just felt elevated. I held off on buying it myself because it is borderline absurdly expensive for a hand wash and moisturizer set. I’m using the Reverence scent, and I love the gentle exfoliation. It’s just enough to feel like a mini reset for your hands without being harsh. Over the winter, I noticed my hands stayed a bit softer than usual. I’ve already had to replenish the hand soap, but the moisturizer seems like it will last quite a while. All in all, it feels like a small daily luxury that I’ve come to really enjoy.

I purchased a hand soap and some lotions. I had been wanting to try the brand for a while after hearing so much about it. I was frankly a little disappointed. Whole the lotions are nice, they aren't much nicer than other brands that have similar scents. The scents of the lotions and soap remind me of walking through the lotion area of Whole Foods. I don't doubt that they are great products, but for me, the quality can be matched elsewhere with scents that I like more. I will say that I got a perfume sample that I really liked called Aurner-it was probably my favorite scent of the batch. I also purchased the eye makeup remover which worked reasonably well.

I have really dry hands and my boyfriend always complains about it. I have tried a variety of different lotions but a lot of them always leave a oily residue which makes it hard to hold on to anything without it slipping out of your hands like a cartoon. This means I tend to be picky about what I use. I was really interested in using this hand balm as it contains a lot of ingredients that will help with dry hands without the oils. I love the smell of this balm, it is awesome. The woody/spicy scent reminds me of being out side in the woods. I love the product but at the price point I couldn't justify making this a regular purchase.

I got the pink Resurrection Aromatique Hand Balm as a present. It does feel luxurious and smells amazing, a bit sweet and citrusy. I don’t think it’s that moisturizing though, especially for the price. Great as a present, but wouldn’t buy for myself

Aesop is a well-known "IYKYK" of luxury, especially when you see the hand wash displayed in a home or restaurant. One of my beloved items is their Geranium lead body cleanser because it literally smells like a spa treatment. I was happy to see they have a hydrating body treatment now so I can continue my shower ritual to include more steps of this fragrance. It's a brand that's really nice to gift, but be sure your recipient is ok with essential oils. I try to avoid the skincare because you never know, but there are many options such as their hand lotions that make luxurious gifts.

These feel just ask expensive as they are. I was very reluctant to buy from this brand because of the cost, but I’m glad that I did. I’m not sure I would buy them at full price, but for Black Friday I think it’s worth it.

I think good things are popular for a reason, especially after a long time! Aesop has been the GOAT forever, and I get why. I absolutely love the soaps and the hand cream is really great value for the price— lasts forever. The hand sanitizer is one of my favorites as well. Most of all, I feel like Aesop has been consistently great for decades, which is increasingly rare.

I really like the feeling and scent of the hand soap and hand lotion. They are pricey so I don't buy them very often for myself but the nice packaging and luxury feel make them perfect for gifting. Visiting the stores in person is even better - they have such a cool vibe!

smells amazing! the hand soaps are luxurious and only need a pump so will last a while. the geranium body treatment is a standout - I use it as a hand balm during the winter and it really help with dry cuticles without feeling sticky or greasy. you only need a couple drops so it will last a long time!

I recently placed a fairly sizable order from Aesop, and it delivered the experience I’ve come to expect from the brand. The hand and body products like Reverence and Resurrection Aromatique Hand Washes, along with the Geranium Leaf Body Cleanser, are nuanced and fresh/clean. I know some would like the scent to last longer, but I don't think it's necessary for a soap to have such fragrance longevity. I also enjoyed the Refresh Bar Soap and Olous Aromatique Room Spray, which further that cohesive Aesop atmosphere. The fragrance sampler set (Anthology I) was a nice way to explore their scent world, though not every fragrance felt like something I’d wear regularly. As always, the presentation and branding are beautiful, but the pricing does keep this from being a no-notes experience. I love having Aesop in the mix, just not for every single category— definitely a special gift option though for those luxury fragrance friends in your life.

There's a reason this soap has a cult following, and even though it's pricey it is one of those small pleasures you can make last over many months. I also love to gift the Aesop gift boxes to friends and folks who are impossible to find gifts for... or who live in small apartments... or who have it all. They're pricey, but a small luxury that really makes someone feel special I think.

Wow the smells! I love the smells! Very woodsy if you’re into that. I have used so many things, hand creams, skincare etc. I recommend it all except the shampoo and conditioner did nothing for my hair.

Always great scents, branding, and vibe in store. I particularly love their hand lotions and soaps, but the perfume is also nice. Nothing more disappointing than an Aesop soap bottle refilled with dove- this stuff is really a treat, not buying just for the aesthetic of the bottle. Took off a star because purchased by L’Oréal

I love all of the fragrances that Aesop carries. I own karst and bought my boyfriend viviere and it smells so good and lasts all day! The bottle is beautiful and simple and I love the look of the packaging as well.

Was skeptical if this product would live up to the hype, but it definitely did! I love the fresh and herbaceous scent and it kept my underarms odor-free for the whole day! Wish it was made in a larger size!

I love Aesop products. The scents are so good and the branding looks beautiful. Do I need an incredibly expensive hand soap in my powder room, or a fancy hand cream to keep on my nightstand? No I do not, but I love having them.

Your opinion on Aesop is going to depend on what kind of expectations you have! I don't think their products are the best on the market in terms of results. However, they deliver a luxury experience for sure. Aesthetically & scent wise, they're tough to beat. I wish more of their products were packaged in glass. Some notes: their fragrances are incredible but not long lasting, the lotion has a very strong scent (which personally, I like!), and the lip balm has a gross taste. My favorite product is the hand sanitizer/rinse free hand wash. The bottles are cute and easy to refill and stash in your purse, car, etc. Value wise, the price point is steep so it's up to you to decide!

So fun to use these products that add small luxury moments to your day. The Resurrection scent is my favorite and I was initially wishing I’d gotten the hand balm in the same scent. However, after using the Reverence Balm - which smells slightly grassy woody to me - I quickly came to love it as well. It smells so warm and refined on the skin. My hands feel moisturized without being greasy. It moisturizes and disappears at the same time. Didn’t think I’d like that feeling - I prefer thick moisturizers - but I actually love it. Skin feels and smells wonderful.
