A fragrant fable of smoky, woody, spicy elements, transporting the mind to the serene depths of an ancient Hinoki Forest.
Silently, Hwyl traces tranquil steps below the tree canopy as wreaths of mist whirl and eddy. A fable about serenity told through scent, the forest itself is brought alive by an accord of Cedar, Hinoki and Thyme, illuminated by resinous Frankincense.
All of this is contained in a newly redesigned bottle with an embossed Aesop insignia, and a pleasingly textured cap inspired by basalt, a rock on which our hometown of Melbourne was quite literally built.

"The forest; a green embrace
Its moss softening steps
In the undergrowth
Mist filtering light
Like incense
Through the canopy
Tree branches painting
The air with their scent
Breathing
A snap, a drip, a flutter
Its symphony composed
To restore and renew
How might the forest soothe our spirit?"
