Gloam
Gloam by Aesop is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with pink pepper, cardamom and orange blossom, moves into saffron, sambac jasmine and mimosa and dries down to iris, patchouli and copaiba balsam. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects softly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
Heart
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
- Sambac Jasmine Greener, more tea-like jasmine. Less indolic than grandiflorum.
- Mimosa Soft, powdery, honeyed yellow flower. Gentle and comforting.
Dry-down
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Copaiba Balsam A soft, woody Amazonian resin. Smooth, slightly peppery and long-lasting.
