Aesop

Aesop

A stylish Melburnian bathroom fixture, Aesop (found in the fashionable QV and on Acland Street, St Kilda) sells aromatic cosmetics, earning kudos for using botanical extracts and natural preservatives where they can. Apothecary-style concept boutiques dispense sweet- smelling shampoos, conditioners and body washes. Metre-long slabs of soap add to the good, clean fun. The facial treatments rate a special mention, such as the vitamin-C based Ascorbic Action.
