Aesop Opens the Door to Its Most Expansive Holiday Collection Yet

There’s a ritual to gifting season that Aesop understands better than most. The Melbourne-born skincare brand has turned the act of giving into an aesthetic pursuit—quietly luxurious, deliberate, and deeply sensorial. This year, the brand unveils its largest festive range to date, under the theme “From Our Home to Yours.” The collection brings Aesop’s design-led minimalism into focus, with each kit conceived as an object of both utility and beauty.

At the heart of the launch is The Aesop Abode, a sculptural house-shaped gift filled with thirteen of the brand’s most beloved formulations. Think of it as an advent calendar for grown-ups—except, in true Aesop fashion, the numbers are odd, the layout unpredictable, and the design strikingly architectural. It’s a collection that’s less about countdowns and more about ritual, with each compartment revealing a new sensory experience: from Geranium Leaf Body Cleanser to Marrakech Intense Eau de Parfum.

The rest of the range reads like a map of the Aesop household. Party in the Greenhouse brings together the refreshing trio of Geranium Leaf Body Cleanser, Scrub, and Balm—ideal for a post-celebration reset. Too Many Cooks in the Kitchencaters to those who take hosting seriously, with the Reverence Hand Wash, Balm, and Bar Soap designed to revive hands after an evening of stirring, slicing, and shaking cocktails. Dignity in the Lavatory, meanwhile, offers a practical pairing of Istros Room Spray and the cult Post-Poo Drops—Aesop’s tongue-in-cheek approach to olfactory diplomacy.

The collection’s design continues the brand’s architectural sensibility. Each kit arrives in packaging inspired by domestic objects—watering cans, showerheads, window frames—with a colour palette borrowed from Le Corbusier’s Architectural Polychromy. The result is packaging that feels as collectible as it is recyclable, built from FSC-certified paper and intended to live on as a keepsake box once emptied.

Aesop’s visual storytelling extends into film, where a meticulously built miniature house plays host to the brand’s full-sized products—each one brought to life through subtle movements and gestures. It’s a surreal nod to the idea that, within every well-designed home, beauty lives in the details.

From the stocking-filler Helping Hands trio (£40) to the indulgent Aesop Abode (£425), this year’s offering covers every level of gifting. Elegant, understated, and unmistakably Aesop, it’s less about the flash of festive excess and more about the considered art of giving well.

Available globally from 3 November in Aesop stores and online.
