A contemplative deconstruction of rose through a Japanese botanical lens, where the flower meets herb garden and forest floor
Era & Context
Deconstructed
Aesop's first fragrance developed with perfumer Barnabé Fillion, Rozu reinterprets rose through East Asian herbal traditions. The shiso leaf—central to Japanese cuisine—anchors the rose in something vegetal and unexpected, reflecting Aesop's philosophy of functional beauty drawn from botany.
