Q: What is Sample Sale stock?

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

  • 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

pink iris

Creating Pink Iris was our biggest creative challenge yet. It took us well over two years to perfect this modern day floral using only natural ingredients. Different to other fragrances in our collection, we started on the Pink Iris journey in response to customers demanding a floral scent. I had a clear vision in my mind of what they wanted - the olfactory equivalent of a gender neutral modern day trench - timeless and sophisticated - but achieving this was anything but simple.

Traditionally floral fragrances made with only naturals tend to smell outdated - reminiscent of your grandmother’s soap collection - something that obviously wasn’t an option for us! Modernity is in our DNA and I knew if we were going to deliver something our customers truly loved it had to be classic, but also fresh and distinctive.

There was a day during the creative process in the lab in Paris when Isaac and I almost came to heads. I believe he thought I was being unreasonable, that it wasn’t possible to deliver this modern take on a classic floral using a purely natural palette. We were both very happy when he proved himself wrong!

I especially adore seeing our young male customers drawn to this scent, it’s all the proof I need to know we hit our mark.

“Lily of The Valley blooming in nature, languid summer afternoons, swimming, the sunrise, warmth stroking the body, a mirage on the ocean…these are some things that come to mind when you spray the Abel Pink Iris fragrance.”
“Abel‘s “Pink Iris” scent will transport you to languid summer afternoons with your lover. Think morning sunrises, ocean water and pink salt in the sands of time. These things will come to mind when you spray the perfume on your body.”
“This 100% natural fragrance is truly mouthwatering. A delicate floral, this is not; Pink Iris is a modern, genderless take on the classic scent category.”

pink iris FAQ'S

What does Pink Iris smell like?

In Pink Iris, you’ll first smell a herbaceous blend of raspberry leaf, basil and sichuan pepper, before iris, rose and jasmine emerge as the floral heart notes, creating an earthy bouquet. The fragrance settles into a base of vanilla and plant-derived musk, for warmth that balances the powdery notes with a smooth finish.

What is significant about iris?

Iris butter (also called orris butter) is one of the most precious and rare ingredients in perfumery. Grown and harvested in France, the expensive ‘iris butter’ in Pink Iris is sourced from the roots of the iris plant, carefully cut and dried over a five-year process. This labour-intensive process produces an oil that’s as earthy and grounded as it is powdery, making it the perfect hero for Pink Iris and the ultimate unisex floral. “It's one of the most special ingredients in the perfumer's Palette and Isaac, our master perfumer, and I both feel privileged to use it, and I know our customers adore wearing it.” - Frances Shoemack, Abel Founder.

What makes Pink Iris a contemporary floral?

The opening notes of Sichuan pepper and Basil oil in Pink Iris contribute dimension to the fragrance. Sichuan pepper introduces a subtle effervescence, enhancing the floral notes while providing an intriguing contrast to their sweetness. Basil oil, with its peppery nuances, adds a layer of brightness that energizes the perfume, further balancing the sweetness of the florals. This combination allows Pink Iris to stand out as a contemporary, modern interpretation of classic rose and jasmine perfumes.

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.
