At a menswear dinner last week, luxury consultant and trend forecaster Robert Buckingham made the observation that "you know when an area is about to boom in terms of retail, because Aesop will open a store." And he's right. The 1987-company has, in a quarter-century, become the go-to company for skin, hair and body care, with over fifty international stores and counters in the world's best department stores. With the shifting nature of the retail landscape to online, it makes sense that the company has teamed with leading luxury menswear e-tailer, Mr Porter, to create a bespoke skincare kit. The Dapper Gentleman, available online now, is presented in a no-fuss black case and contains the brand's face cleanser, Moroccan neroli shaving serum, mandarin facial hydrating cream and rosehip seed lip cream.
