For years, Aesop has mastered the art of thoughtful gifting with its annual holiday sets that celebrate both design and self-care. This year, the Australian brand takes its festive ritual a step further. The Aesop Abode is its first-ever advent calendar, a debut that’s equal parts elegant and imaginative.
Accompanying Aesop's Gift Kits 2025 collection, the generously sized treasure chest promises to delight homemakers, aesthetes and devoted fans alike. Aptly named, the artful interpretation of the traditional advent calendar takes the shape of an abstract house. This simultaneously reflects the brand’s expertise in creating serene spaces and the magic its sensorial products bring to every room.
Inside, 13 drawers await discovery, each holding a surprise from Aesop’s skincare, fragrance, hand & body or home categories. The unconventional number is a deliberate nod to the brand’s fondness for odd numbers. In true Aesop fashion, the calendar counts its way to 25 while playfully skipping the evens, adding a touch of whimsy to the daily ritual.
Without giving too much away, highlights include full-size favourites such as the Lucent Facial Concentrate and Geranium Leaf Body Cleanser. There’s also a travel-size Marrakech Intense Eau de Parfum and the sculptural Bronze Intense Holder paired with Kagerou Aromatique Incense.
Priced at SGD740, Aesop Abode will be available from 10 November 2025 at select Aesop signature stores in Singapore. Quantities are limited, so consider this your cue to act swiftly when it drops.
