A fragrant fable of luminous fresh, citrus, green notes that come together in hushed conversation to evoke the radiant refrain of dawn.

Tacit Truths is an intimation of morning’s first light, conjured by Yuzu, Vetiver and Fennel. A fable about trust told through scent, its bright citrus notes are tempered by the calming character of Basil, lending a sense of quiet intimacy.   

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.

Aroma: Fresh, citrus notes, green

Suited to: All genders; revivalists, aesthetes, sunseekers

Key characteristics: Basil | First Light Accord

Scents for the nose, stories for the mind

Rooted in our long-standing reverence for literature and our namesake Aesop—the ancient Greek fabulist—the inspirations and emotions behind our fragrances are distilled into fable-like poems to pose questions through scent.

The amber bottle, enhanced

While no story should be judged by its cover, the Fragrant Fables arrive in pleasingly tactile bottles, with a new textured cap inspired by basalt rock native to our home city of Melbourne, and an embossed insignia on the amber glass.

Complimentary engraving and samples

Every online purchase of a 50ml and 100mL fragrance comes with a sample to try before you uncork the full bottle, while complimentary engraving is now available in select countries.

Many of our product packaging components are recyclable. We recommend disassembling (in this case removing the pump and cap) and sorting the components. The bottle may be recycled, while the pump and cap should be placed in the waste bin. Paper packaging is made from FSC® certified stock. Please remove this component and place in the recycling bin.

How to use

Intimations of morning

The Fabulist Accord

First Light
Conjured by whispers of Yuzu Accord, Vetiver and Fennel.

The Radical Ingredient

Basil
Bringing verdant freshness.

Fresh basil leaves on a green stem against a dark background.

A declaration of trust
Comes with each dawn​
Hopeful in its brightness​

The first light of day
A silent promise​
Each morning reaffirmed​

​Whatever comes​
This radiant refrain​
Consistent, steady, true​

Unvoiced yet unwavering​
Unseen yet unceasing​
A companion in the quiet​

 How can trust illuminate our connections?​
