Karst
Karst by Aesop is an unisex eau de parfum in the premium price tier. It opens with juniper berry, pink pepper and bergamot, moves into rosemary, sage and cumin and dries down to vetiver, sandalwood and cedarwood. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects softly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Juniper Berry Gin, basically. Piney, dry and bracing.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Heart
- Rosemary Sharp, camphorous herb. Bracing and clean, borders on medicinal.
- Sage Dry, herbal and slightly bitter. Adds a grown-up, aromatic edge.
- Cumin Warm, spicy and unmistakably sweaty. Divides rooms.
Dry-down
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
