Aesop

Fresh off the success of its Grand Central Terminal kiosk, this Australian skin-care company has opened its first permanent NYC space. Jeremy Barbour, the same New York architect who designed the kiosk, also conceived the decor for this petite shop, whose walls are constructed from more than 2,800 reclaimed copies of The New York Times as a nod to the company’s appreciation for the written word. Scan the shelves for the brand’s first body scrub ($35), chock-full of naturally exfoliating geranium leaf, pumice and bamboo stem. We’re partial to ultralight citrus moisturizers ($45), daily gel cleansers ($47) and chamomile-based antiblemish masks ($47).
