Aesop’s brand-new 2023-24 Gift Kits just launched, taking inspiration from waves of sound that touch the skin and uplift the spirit. Collectively titled ‘Resonant Gestures’, and each named after one of five qualities that give music its magnetism, the quintet of kits act as a thoughtfully orchestrated ode to the power of song. Each kit is accompanied by a specially composed piece by Kiala Ogawa: Based in Paris, Ogawa is influenced by the music of her childhood, mixing soulful jazz with afrobeat and Japanese funk to create soothing and intriguing soundscapes. The tracks are available at aesop.com/soundscapes.
The concept is further amplified in stores through a series of installations created entirely from the kits’ packaging, which each carry a soundscape pattern printed directly onto the recycled-paper boxes.
Personalised Gift Kits: For those wishing to improvise a selection of gifts tailored to the recipient, expert consultants are on-hand to provide insightful guidance on formulations for the skin, hair, body and home. A limited-release gift box is available for such occasions, helping to underscore these gestures of thoughtfulness. For gift inspiration online, the Gift Finder offers personalised recommendations based on replies to just a few questions.
