Aesop's annual end-of-year gift kit 2015-2016 (released November 1st) is back again this winter.

The "modern" constellations were recognized by the International Astronomical Union in 1922. This year's gift kit is themed around six of these constellations - Auriga, Cepheus, Perseus, Andromeda, Delphinus, and Cassiopeia - and the Greek myths associated with them. It also embodies the desire to suggest the "constellations" (connections) we form and their significance. The kit is a fantasy befitting the long winter nights, yet it also embodies Aesop's signature modern and cool impression. "Andromeda (Resurrection Hand Wash 500ml, Resurrection Hand Balm 75ml, Damascan Body Cleanser 200ml, Lind Body Balm 120ml)" (11,000 yen, limited edition) is a kit for hand and body care. "Auriga (Damascan Body Cleanser 200ml, Resurrection Hand Balm 75ml, Immediate Moisture Facial Hydrosol 60ml)" (6,600 yen, limited edition) is an assortment of three daily care products for face and body. "Cepheus (Body Cleanser 11 200ml, Body Balm 08 120ml, Body Scrub 15 170ml)" (8,200 yen, limited edition) is a set of three products from the Geranium body care line. It consists of a gently cleansing body cleanser, a body scrub that thoroughly removes dead skin cells, and a body balm that leaves the skin feeling supple.

"Cassiopeia (Facial Cleanser 45 200ml, Antioxidant Hydrator 60ml, Antioxidant Eye Cream 10ml)" (17,100 yen, limited edition) is a set of three products that are richly formulated with parsley seed extract, which promotes beautiful skin. It moisturizes dry skin caused by dryness or air pollution, and aims to promote healthy skin. "Delphinus (Februs Face Cleanser 100ml, B & T Balancing Toner 100ml, Chamilia Facial Cream 60ml, Prim Facial Mask 60ml, Face Cloth)" (12,300 yen, limited edition) is a set of four products from the classic skincare line that focuses on caring for the skin of many people. It conveys the essence of Aesop. "Perseus (Februs Face Cleanser 100ml, Post Shave Lotion 43 60ml, Body Cleanser 11 200ml)" (9,000 yen, limited edition) is a three-product kit for men to care for both body and mind. The pleasant fragrance will also relieve mental tension.

Each set of six products, packed in a reusable tin can, is chic and modern. The constellations printed on the simple packaging raise new questions about human connections and consideration.
