Journey to Ouranon

About This Fragrance
An eau de parfum in Aesop’s Fragrant Fables collection, Journey to Ouranon tells a fable of renewal. Embers turn to ash, smoke rises, and the story moves toward a new beginning. The US product is identified as FR36. As of October 2026, Aesop’s Japanese site lists the earlier name Ouranon under product code FR28 and shows the earlier bottle. The two official pages list the same nine pyramid notes; they do not establish whether the formula changed or when the newer name and bottle will reach Japan.
Scent Profile
Petitgrain, elemi and lavender flower form a bright, herbal opening. Hay and chamomile bring a drier, softer middle, joined by frankincense. Myrrh, tonka and patchouli give the base its resinous warmth and earthy weight. Aesop describes the mineral impression of ash through frankincense, myrrh and patchouli, although those notes occupy different levels of the official pyramid.
Who It's For
This fragrance suits someone who wants to follow a change from lively herbs to warm resin. Accounts from wearers of the earlier Ouranon favor cooler weather, especially autumn and winter, and quieter settings. Because those accounts concern the earlier named product, trying the fragrance on skin and checking the local product name remain useful steps before buying.
