Aēsop's Above Us, Steorra launches September 1 as an Eau de Parfum that reinterprets amber through a cosmic lens. Céline Barel created the composition from inspirations including Mayuzumi Madoka's Shooting Star, a constellation photograph, and the golden tones of fossilized resin. The opening delivers bergamot, cardamom, and peppery elemi for meteor-like brightness. A resinous heart of cypriol, labdanum, and frankincense evokes timeless amber while spicier cardamom returns for movement. A woody, vanilla-bean and rum-like base amplifies resinous warmth without cloying sweetness. The overall effect presents a modern, multidimensional amber Aēsop calls Celestial Amber.
Aēsop is preparing to launch its newest Eau de Parfum, "Above Us, Steorra," an olfactory journey that reinterprets amber in a way unlike anything in its collection. Set for release on September 1, the fragrance invites wearers to pause, lift their gaze, and place their trust in the mysteries of the unknown. More than just a perfume, "Above Us, Steorra" reflects the brand's ongoing commitment to storytelling through scent.
Created by long-time collaborator Céline Barel, the fragrance was shaped by three abstract inspirations: the Japanese poet Mayuzumi Madoka's work Shooting Star, a photograph of a night sky filled with infinite constellations, and the golden shifting tones of fossilized resin. With this foundation, Barel drew on the star-dusted design of Aēsop's Collins Street boutique in Melbourne, capturing a sense of cosmic wonder that transcends traditional perfumery. She describes the composition as "Celestial Amber," a phrase that conveys both its radiant warmth and subtly subversive nature.
At its opening, "Above Us, Steorra" ignites with the energy of a meteor streaking across the sky. Notes of bergamot, cardamom, and peppery elemi deliver a fiery brightness that immediately commands attention. These sparks set the stage for a heart defined by complexity and depth. Cypriol Heart, labdanum, and frankincense form resinous layers that echo the timelessness of amber, while subtle accents of spicier cardamom reemerge to create a sense of movement within the composition.
