Aesop will release a collection of five gift kits for the holiday season on November 1st.

Based on the concept of "The Enigmatic Mind," the kits pay homage to groundbreaking psychological experiments on human behavior and offer carefully selected skincare and body care products to suit a variety of gift recipients. The kits are wrapped in sleeves inspired by social psychology books from each era and are presented in a reusable amenity case, the design of which is inspired by the experiments behind them. "Proximity" (9,050 yen) is a carefully selected set of three face care products (Februs Face Cleanser/100ml, B&T Balancing Toner/100ml, Chamilia Facial Cream/60ml) based on the "proximity effect," which shows how necessary regular interaction is to develop meaningful relationships.

"Sway" (11,100 yen) is a soothing combination of hand and body care products (Resurrection Hand Wash/500ml, Resurrection Hand Balm/75ml, Body Cleanser 11/200ml, Body Balm 08/120ml) inspired by Ash's "entrainment experiments" that show how we adapt to the people around us.

"Affiliation" (13,400 yen) is based on the "small world experiment," which shows how we connect with seemingly strangers, and includes three parsley seed skincare products that work closely with the skin (facial cleanser 45/100ml, anti-oxidant toner 100ml, facial hydrating cream 54/60ml).

"Concord" (6,450 yen) is a harmonious combination that can be used from head to toe, based on the "Robber's Cave Experiment," which explores ways to restore harmony when social situations go awry (Damascan Body Cleanser/200ml, Resurrection Hand Balm/75ml, Immediate Moisture Facial Hydrosol/60ml).

"Regard" (8,050 yen) is inspired by the phenomenon known as the "bystander effect" and its impact on those around you, and includes three essential products for facial and body care (Februs Face Cleanser/100ml, Mandarin Facial Cream/60ml, Body Cleanser 11/200ml).

The collection is available for purchase at Aesop's directly managed stores, department store counters, and elsewhere.
