As a Melburnian, I’m proud that Aesop has taken to the world providing niche beauty products to those who like something a little different. Everything from Aesop smells amazing thanks to the botanical ingredients. Beautifully packaged, typography and design nerds will love having these items on their bathroom shelves, but most importantly their skin will love being lathered up with quality ingredients that are adjustable depending on the climate and skin type. Every Aesop store is designed to reflect the local surroundings, and the one here at Marina Bay is like walking underneath the ocean, long dangly ropes hanging from the ceiling as if walking through seaweed. The staff are delightful and will be happy to give you a cup of tea, show you products and send you home with some testers, even if you don’t decide to purchase during your visit.
