A distinct space has been created in the airport’s duty free retail precinct, and Aesop Melbourne Airport has been designed by the brand’s own in-house design team, to integrate with its surroundings and reflect local culture, history and environmental influences.

The store provides a welcome and calming contrast to the bustle of the main airport and stocks a range of products for the skin, hair, body and home, including fragrances.  Customers can purchase their carry-on essentials and gifts, replenish their Aesop favourites and also take time to relax.  Refreshing hot towels and a reviving beverage can be enjoyed preflight, alongside expert skincare consultations and product advice.

Three products which are exclusive to travel retail also form part of the range and are perfect for customers to use whilst travelling.  The Melbourne Kit contains a selection of nine travel sized skincare, hair, body and oral care essentials. The Aromatique Hand Balm Duet contains two travel sized hand-care products and a convenient 250ml edition of Aesop Mouthwash is also available.

Commenting on the new Aesop store, Philippe Boyer, Dufry General Manager for Australia says “We are proud to work in partnership with this exceptional brand and introduce Aesop into our product portfolio.  It’s particularly exciting to be able to collaborate on this standalone store space here in Melbourne Airport, given that Aesop was first established in Melbourne over 30 years ago and this will be the first travel retail store in Australia.  Customers will love the space, the services offered and of course, the wonderful products.”
