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

green cedar

Green Cedar was the sixth fragrance that Isaac and I worked on together and it really feels like a coming of age scent to me. We weren’t trying too hard, it was playful, free-flowing and explorative. We started with some of our favourite ingredients - cedarwood, magnolia, cardamom and just went from there. Some of my favourite moments were deep diving the unique terroir of these special ingredients from different regions, cultivated by different hands. The wild harvested Moroccan cedarwood smells like Morocco looks - vibrant and powerful, so we chose to pair it with a Texan cedarwood that is extremely pure in profile and a by-product of the paper industry - a harmonious juxtaposition.

The most beautiful thing for me is that I believe the joy and ease of the creative process is reflected in the final scent. You don’t have to try hard to like Green Cedar, it’s cathartic to its core. When I wear Green Cedar, I feel like I’ve ‘come home’.

“This fragrance is an olfactory journey through the Wild West. It blends two different types of cedar with top notes of magnolia and cardamom for a rich, woody floral that'll wear well on anyone.”
“Together with Golden Neroli, Green Cedar redefines the term natural perfume taking it to new heights from “a blend of essential oils” to “wait, this is all-natural?”.... The opening is like a breath of fresh forest air, green and slightly balsamic but also mild and sweet. Green Cedar perfectly blends elegance and nonchalance.”
“I consider scent the invisible final touch of getting dressed to start the day. I wear Green Cedar by Abel Odor, which feels light but is rich with interesting notes. All Abel perfumes are made from natural ingredients, which makes them the perfect complement to my Kowtow pieces. — Marilou Dadat, creative director of Kowtow”

green cedar FAQ'S

What does Green Cedar smell like?

In Green Cedar, you’ll first smell a cooling note of magnolia with a hint of warmth from cardamom. A woody heart of guaiac wood emerges as the smoky heart note, before settling into a cedarwood drydown. On the base, is a combination of Atlas Mountain and Texan cedarwood—one reminiscent of a damp forest floor, and the other crisp like pencil shavings.

What upcycled ingredients are in Green Cedar?

The grounding Texan cedarwood note is sustainably upcycled from paper industry byproducts, giving new life to materials that would otherwise go to waste. Water used in the production of paper products is captured and the scent molecules isolated. This process not only creates a clean, crisp woody scent but also minimizes environmental impact by reducing waste and promoting circularity in fragrance creation.

How do the different cedar notes differ?

Green Cedar blends two distinct cedars: twice-distilled Texan cedar for a clean, dry edge and wild Atlas Mountain cedar for a rich, opulent warmth, creating a balanced scent. Abel’s Master perfumer, Isaac Sinclair, shares “It’s crazy when you smell the cedarwood from the Atlas Mountains in Morocco, it is so peculiar and aromatic, it really takes you to the oriental North Africa.”

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.
