About us

Aesop—which has been part of L’Oréal Luxe since 2023—was established in Melbourne in 1987. Since then, we have been formulating products with efficacy foremost in mind—their complex, distinctive aromas are but an incidental treat. 

In each of our unique stores and counters, informed consultants help customers select the products that are best suited to their actual needs—collaborating with office-based team members who help cultivate our retail focus.

We offer employees professional development and opportunities for advancement, within our regional and global offices, and retail stores around the world.

Alongside our commercial activities, we explore and support the arts as an avenue through which to inspire, learn, and communicate.
