Q: What is Sample Sale stock?
A: Sample Sale stock can be identified online by the circle label "Sample Sale" on the product listing. If the product listing does not have this label, it is not sample sale stock.

Sample Sale products are being sold at a generous discount due to one or more of the following reasons: 

  • Damaged outer box
  • Tester packaging - perfume packaged in plain tester box
  • Old retail stickers or barcodes on the box or cellophane
  • Wrong name on the perfume bottle (perfume will be listed on this site as the fragrance inside, not the name on the bottle)
  • Damaged print on the bottle
  • Scratches on the cap
  • No cellophane
  • Marks on the outer box
  • No notecard inside the box
  • Mismatched boxes and perfume
  • Sediment or discolouration of perfume - this does not affect the perfume, it’s just a natural reaction between some ingredients
  • White Vetiver only: there are some bottles of White Vetiver that are from an older production run. They are less fresh and bright smelling (less “white”!), and more earthy, smokey
  • Nurture Only: old packaging, the selection made at random
  • Nurture Only: different spray caps, to replace faulty caps from a particular batch

cobalt amber

Cobalt Amber is all the glamour of art deco Paris, encapsulated in a sassy, modern day scent. One of our earlier creations, I knew at the time that I wanted a scent in our collection that would be easily accessible to those not used to natural scents. In fact one of my favourite Cobalt Amber moments is when we released it in London and a perfume critic there announced “I love it so much I’m willing to forgive the fact that it’s natural”! A backwards compliment perhaps, but I took heart in the fact that we’d converted a natural perfume sceptic and knew if we had him, we would claim others too.
Cobalt Amber is often the scent in the collection that new Abel customers are drawn to and it’s the one I find myself recommending people try first, a ‘gateway drug’ if you will. But this doesn’t mean her charm will wear thin, in fact it’s my husband Dave’s go-to for seven years now and I just love the leathery amber profile on him.

“"A Refinery29 Must Buy" - A modern twist on an amber scent with notes of spicy pink pepper and punchy juniper. Sophisticated and sultry, it makes an ideal evening perfume.”
“Cobalt Amber is the bestseller and it’s easy to see why; it’s a high-end oriental, with classic amber given a contemporary twist at the hands of pink pepper and juniper berry top notes.”
“Gender-neutral fragrance brand, Abel, recently released Cobalt Amber as a fresh take on the classic amber. It balances dark notes of leather and vanilla with juniper and pink pepper for a sophisticated scent you’ll want to spritz over and over again.”
“It shows why this brand... is at the forefront of sophisticated science-based natural fragrance making. The fragrances have significantly more staying power than most naturals.”

cobalt amber FAQ'S

What does Cobalt Amber smell like?

In Cobalt Amber, you’ll first smell spicy notes of pink pepper and juniper berry, before cacao and tonka emerge as the rich, gourmand heart notes, softening the aromatic opening. The fragrance settles into an amber accord drydown, with vanilla coming to the fore for a sultry, leathery finish.

What makes Cobalt Amber a unique scent?

Cobalt Amber stands out as a unique vanilla scent, distinguished by its rich, sophisticated base crafted with biotech-derived vanillin, sourced from plants. This innovation eliminates the need for petrochemicals and reduces the reliance on traditional vanilla extraction, a process often associated with sustainability and ethical concerns. Abel's biotech-derived vanillin is chemically identical to the natural vanillin found in vanilla beans but can be produced in a more sustainable and efficient manner. Isaac Sinclair, Abel's master perfumer, explains, "Today, synthetic vanilla is cheaper than the real thing," adding that the limitations of mass production have kept many brands from fully exploring the potential of biotech in fragrance.

What are top, heart and base notes in fragrance?

Top notes are the first scents you detect immediately after applying a fragrance. They are light and vibrant but fade quickly. Once the top notes fade, the heart notes begin to emerge, forming the core of the fragrance. These notes bridge the transition from the initial fresh burst to the deeper, richer base notes. As the fragrance dries down on the skin, the base notes develop, providing lasting power and depth. Base notes are typically deep, warm, and heavy, leaving a lasting impression long after the other notes have faded.
