Aesop: Aesop editorial e-commerce home with cinematic botanical hero and product discovery grids
A restrained, editorial luxury-cosmetics homepage anchored by a dark, cinematic full-bleed hero: a single amber-bottle product trio nested in deep-green foliage with a thin serif headline "The perennial appeal of Geranium Leaf" and an outlined ghost CTA. Below, the whole page runs on a warm bone/cream paper background with centered fine serif section titles and generous whitespace; the signature move is the editorial restraint — product imagery on plain cream tiles, a horizontal "Compare our fragrances" table with olfactory-attribute pill rows, and a literary closing pull-quote before a near-black footer. Several content images render as gray placeholder boxes in this capture.
