• Detail from the space, designed by award-winning architect William O’Brien Jr., via Aesop.

Tucked below one of Newbury Streets busiest blocks is the first New England outpost of 25-year old Aussie brand Aesop—a skin, body, and haircare line based on the premise of botanical ingredients married with super science for high impact concoctions to soothe every skin ailment and environmental woe.

Don't let the pristine space fool you, these people are like mad scientists! Not sure what parsley seed oil is? Aesop will shower you with knowledge (answer: it's a potent antioxidant, ideal for urban dwellers), all to the benefit of your largest organ.

If you like amazing smelling things and grown-up potion making, drop by the shop for a customized care program. Your dermis will thank you!
