An aerosol generating article (10) comprises an aerosol forming substrate (20) and a susceptor (1 4) for heating the aerosol forming substrate (20). The susceptor (1 4) comprises a first susceptor material (2 5) and a second susceptor material (3 6) having a Curie temperature the first susceptor material being disposed in intimate physical contact with the second susceptor material. The first susceptor material may also have a Curie temperature the second Curie temperature being lower than 500 °C and lower than the Curie temperature of the first susceptor material if the first susceptor material has a Curie temperature. The use of such a multi material susceptor allows heating to be optimised and the temperature of the susceptor to be controlled to approximate the second Curie temperature without need for direct temperature monitoring.
