Aesop Cythera Aromatique Room Spray | Non-Aerosol Air Freshener | Woody, Opulent, Spicy | Aroma for Several Hours | 3.3 oz / 100mL

I purchased the Aesop Cythera Aromatique Room Spray as part of a Christmas gift set, and it immediately stood out as the most distinctive piece of the collection. If you’re familiar with Aesop’s aesthetic and scent philosophy, this fits perfectly — refined, atmospheric, and intentionally not generic. The fragrance itself is woody, spicy, and opulent, but not overpowering. It has a warm depth that feels especially appropriate for colder months or evening use. One or two sprays is more than enough to fill a room, and the scent unfolds gradually rather than hitting all at once. It feels curated rather than perfumey, which makes it a great option for shared spaces like living rooms, entryways, or offices. What impressed me most is the longevity. Unlike many room sprays that disappear within minutes, Cythera lingers for several hours in a subtle, ambient way. You’ll notice it when you walk back into the room rather than being constantly aware of it, which is exactly how a high-end room fragrance should behave. A few standout points: Complex scent profile: Warm woods with a spicy, slightly resinous edge. Strong but controlled: A little goes a long way. Long-lasting: Noticeably outperforms typical room sprays. Gift-worthy presentation: Minimalist, elevated packaging that feels special without being flashy. This is not a fresh, clean, or citrusy scent, so it won’t be for everyone. It leans more moody and atmospheric, which makes it ideal for someone who appreciates deeper, more contemplative fragrances rather than light or floral ones. It’s also very on-brand for Aesop — understated luxury rather than mass appeal. Overall, this is a beautifully executed room spray that feels intentional and high quality. It’s a great choice for gifting or for elevating a space with a scent that feels warm, distinctive, and thoughtfully composed.

Favorite scent of all time. And it lasts a long time. Perfect room spray.

Huele delicioso, no dura tanto

As a very well travelled executive, I’ve had the privilege to stay in some of the finest hotels where beautiful room fragrances are part of the norm. That said, very few places provide ASAP because they are so expensive relative to the mass brands but here again is one beautiful product !! Exquisite in every way that you can either spray in the room, or spray on your pillows, on your sheets., on your towels and would you believe ? - even a little spray on your wrists. Absolutely wonderful experience so go a few pennies more and buy this. You will not be sorry.

outstanding scent and always gets a compliment
