Eidesis means mental imagery - the ability to form a vivid picture in the mind. This fragrance earns its name. Opening with bergamot and clary sage, it settles into a dry, contemplative base of hinoki wood, vetiver, and cedarwood. It wears close to the skin without disappearing, lasting through a full day without demanding attention. The 50ml bottle is characteristically Aesop: weighty amber glass, minimal labelling, nothing superfluous. A considered choice for anyone who finds most fragrances too loud.
