Overview

There are few things in life that smell as good as Aesop products. Freshly cut grass brings with it hayfever; sniffing cinnamon will give you a sneezing fit; and as for newborn babies' heads, surely they just smell like pain and placenta? With its subtle hints of mandarin, lavender, shea butter and rosemary, the Aesop Resurrection hand balm I swipe from the bathrooms of fancy cafes is by far my pick of the bunch.

Now this local titan of beauty and wellbeing is taking an interest in our part of the process — the smelling. From April 8 - 23, Aesop will be setting up shop in the Bourke Street Myer windows with an interactive installation featuring over 1,500 plaster casts of noses. But this isn't just a tame version of The Great Wall of Vagina, passersby will also be invited to contribute to the collection. Sit down, take a load off, peruse the offerings from the god that is Aesop, and let them immortalise your schnozz in the name of art and excellent hand balm.
