There’s something about Aesop that just feels different — calm, confident, quietly luxurious. And their Greenwich store at 346 Greenwich Avenue captures that energy perfectly. Missing it is near impossible – mot only because it is nestled in a beautiful space just a few doors up from the two most frequented stops on the Avenue (Meli Melo and Apple) but because the scent lures you in from a block away. You literally smell it before you see it — and that’s part of the magic.

The Experience
What I love most about this store — aside from how beautiful it is — is how human it feels. The team goes above and beyond in ways you don’t often see anymore. I once watched an associate run a purchase out to a car because a customer’s baby had just fallen asleep in the back seat. And when another customer (me) returned her perfume — twice — because she couldn’t commit to a scent, they didn’t so much as blink. Just a warm smile and a “Let’s find the one that feels right.”
There’s an ease about everyone here. No hard selling, no hovering — just thoughtful help and genuine patience. You can linger, sip tea, and try a few things at your own pace. It’s the kind of experience that reminds you why shopping in person still matters.

The Scents Worth Trying
Aesop fragrances are made with care, and like all of Aesop’s products, every formula is vegan, cruelty-free, and created with sustainability in mind. It’s luxury, but with values behind it — the kind that feels good to wear.
Aurner Eau de Parfum
Aurner is floral in a restrained, modern way — magnolia leaf, Roman chamomile, and cedar give it a soft earthiness. It’s elegant, grounding, and somehow feels like both linen and cashmere at once.
Virēre Eau de Parfum
Virēre is green and bright, with notes of fig, bergamot, and green tea. It’s crisp and subtle — perfect for daytime errands, meetings, or a walk down the Avenue with coffee in hand.
Above Us, Steorra
Think warm spice — cardamom, cinnamon bark, frankincense — wrapped in that signature Aesop restraint. It’s the fragrance equivalent of candlelight on a winter night.

Greenwich Girl’s Take
The Aesop Greenwich boutique is more than a store — it’s an experience in quiet grace and mindful beauty. Every detail, from the design to the people, is calm, kind, and considered. And it’s not just about the products (though you’ll want them all); it’s about the feeling you leave with.
