Above Us, Steorra
Above Us, Steorra by Aesop is an unisex eau de parfum in the premium price tier. It opens with cardamom, bergamot and elemi, moves into frankincense, labdanum and cypriol and dries down to vanilla, cinnamon and cypriol. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects softly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Elemi Peppery resin with a lemon-pine lift. Bright and dry.
Heart
- Frankincense Bright, peppery, church-like resin. Lifts and cools a fragrance.
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
- Cypriol Also called nagarmotha. Smoky, leathery, earthy — a vetiver relative.
Dry-down
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
- Cypriol Also called nagarmotha. Smoky, leathery, earthy — a vetiver relative.
