Aesop A Rose By Any Other Name Body Cleanser — 500 mL Floral Gel, Vegan & Paraben-Free

Aesop A Rose By Any Other Name Body Cleanser is a floral botanical gel that gently cleanses skin while leaving a warm, spicy-rose aroma.

This 500 mL / 16.9 oz body cleanser blends rose petal oil with cardamom and black pepper extracts to deliver an aromatic shower experience without stripping skin. Formulated as a gel, it foams lightly to remove dirt and surface oils while keeping skin feeling soft; the formula is vegan, paraben-free and packaged in bottles made from at least 97% recycled plastics. The scent profile sits between floral and spicy, offering a warming finish to daily routines.

What makes this cleanser different from other rose-scented body washes?

Rather than relying on a single synthetic fragrance, this Aesop gel uses rose petal oil plus complementary botanical extracts to create a layered scent. The blend is designed to feel refined and balanced—floral up front with spice and warmth on the dry-down—while still performing as an effective daily cleanser.

• Rose petal oil provides natural floral top notes and a smooth skin feel
• Cardamom adds a subtle spicy, aromatic lift
• Black pepper contributes warmth and depth to the fragrance
• Vegan, paraben-free formula suitable for regular use

How should I use Aesop A Rose By Any Other Name in my shower routine?

Use a small amount on wet skin or a washcloth to generate a gentle lather; rinse thoroughly. Because the gel is concentrated, a little goes a long way—start with a coin-sized amount and increase if needed.

• Apply to wet skin or sponge and massage to cleanse
• Rinse completely to avoid residue
• Follow with your preferred moisturizer for added softness
• Suitable for daily use on arms, legs and torso

Will this product irritate sensitive skin or strip natural oils?
