Aesop Tacit Eau de Parfum, 50ml at John Lewis & Partners

Tacit is at once familiar in its citrus notes and distinctly contemporary due to the liberal use of Basil Grand Vert.

And as the title implies, somewhat elusive in character - more readily experienced than articulated. The formulation was born of two key inspirations: the fresh notes found in traditional colognes; and the culture, topography, and fragile, perfumed vegetation of the Mediterranean coast.
