Rick Owens‘ collaboration with Aesop, which was teased earlier this month, has now been officially released. Owens praised Aesop’s “quiet blend of aesthetic beauty, hygienic beauty, and moral beauty,” as well as their shared “desire to be an option for those pursuing a gentle carefully considered life” when he first announced the initiative.
The collaboration includes a variety of Aesop’s characteristic items, such as candles and a travel kit containing four of Owen’s favorite products, as well as the introduction of an all-new fragrance. Aesop’s Coriander Seed Body Cleanser, Resolute Hydrating Body Balm, Classic Shampoo, and Classic Conditioner are included in the travel kit.
Furthermore, the collection introduces the brand new Stoic Eau de Toilette, designed by perfumer Barnabé Fillion, who also produced the fragrance for Owens’ most recent show. Stoic combines Black Pepper and Coriander with Frankincense, Patchouli, and woody undertones. The fragrance comes with a string of ten porous ceramic beads that can be used with Stoic to extend the scent’s duration.
Launching the collection, Owens said:
“I am not sure if it was my body responding positively to the alchemy of the unguents they produce or my head responding to the quiet and gentle aesthetics of their ethos as a company, but Aesop’s balms represented a soothing mood that I wanted to continue seamlessly throughout my home life and my travel life.”
The collaboration is available now from the Aesop web store, as well as select Aesop and Rick Owens locations worldwide.
