These days there seems to be a glut of fluorescent-hued mouthwashes with tongue-twisting ingredients, but the alchemists at Aesop are hoping to change that.

Utilising the refreshing properties of clove bud, aniseed and spearmint leaf, the new Aesop mouthwash combines timeless ingredients with contemporary alchemy. Being alcohol-free, the mouthwash also offers a gentler cleanse than offered by other, alcohol-heavy concoctions.

Distilled into one of the brand’s typically stylish amber bottles, the Aesop mouthwash will be available from the end of January, making it an ideal gift for those hoping to pucker up on St Valentine’s Day, or simply for those of us who’ve been searching for a natural solution to a delicate – and age-old – concern.
