While we may not all be able to pull off Rick Owens like Hunter Schafer did at the Oscars after party, we can certainly fantasise about such a thing. But wouldn’t you rather dream of Rick Owens whilst at least smelling like Rick Owens? Me too. Well, the wonderful Aesop has collaborated with Rick Owens to give a chance to do just that with a limited edition collection of intriguing scents, including body and hair care products, to help us feel just that one step closer to being in a Rick Owens gown.
Through this sensory collaboration, Owens has captured the essence of his namesake brand in a new way. The collection includes a Stoic Aromatique Candle (available in three sizes) and a Travel Kit, which contains a very special and exclusively created Stoic Eau de Toilette. As a brand that Owens swears by, it was only a matter of time before the two came together. “Aesop’s products represent such a calming vibe that I can’t live without, both in my home and on the road”, said Owens on the collaboration. The Travel Kit does just that, allowing you to easily bring along your products wherever you go! The kit consists of Owen’s favourite formulations: Coriander Seed Body Cleanser, Resolute Hydrating Body Balm, Classic Shampoo and Classic Conditioner.

If this wasn’t already more than we could dream of, the kit also includes a beguiling fragrance that was made in collaboration with perfumer Banabé Fillion. Bringing spiced aromas of black pepper and coriander together with notes of Aesop’s signature incense and wood, the fragrance encapsulates the very essence of both brands into a bottle. To bring a ritualistic quality to the collection, the fragrance is accompanied by 10 porous ceramic beads which, if used in the application process, can extend the longevity of the scent on the skin. A very thoughtful and considered touch.
This collaboration is one that builds a bridge between fashion and fragrance, portraying how the two can be intimately intertwined.
