Tacit
Tacit by Aesop is an unisex eau de parfum from 2015 in the premium price tier. It opens with yuzu and basil, moves into clary sage and violet leaf and dries down to vetiver and musk. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Yuzu Japanese citrus — like grapefruit and mandarin crossed. Crisp and clean.
- Basil Peppery herb with an aniseed lift. Culinary but wearable.
Heart
- Clary Sage Softer, sweeter sage with an ambery undertone. Warm and herbal.
- Violet Leaf Crisp, watery green with a metallic edge. Cool rather than fresh.
Dry-down
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
