Master Perfumery
New Zealand's only Master Perfumer, Isaac Sinclair became Abel Founder Frances' first ally in the quest to disrupt an industry that didn't believe natural perfume could be chic, modern, or stand up alongside the world's best.
"Naturals have an (often misguided) reputation for being simple, subtle and organic smelling. As in any creative pursuit, there comes a time when you find yourself wanting to push the boundaries, to see if you can play right at the edges and surprise everyone." - Isaac

Biotechnology
Our approach to perfumery combines the innovation of biotechnology with the artistry of master perfumers. Biotechnology uses living organisms to grow, enhance and elevate our ingredient palette, eliminating the need for petrochemical-derived synthetics. It allows us to craft sustainable, long-lasting scents that work with — not against — the rhythms of nature.

“We also love Abel's The Apartment. Meant to evoke the feeling of decompressing in your Parisian flat, this scent is made with notes of upcycled cherry, cacao, run, and myrrh, for a balanced mix of tart and warmth.”
“Best Winter 2025 Fragrance For Days At Home —
When the temperature dips below freezing it’s understandable that you want to spend the day indoors. And hey, you’ve spent so much time sourcing decor so your space looks just right that you might as well enjoy it. That’s where Abel’s The Apartment Eau de Parfum comes in. It’s inspired by sipping on a cherry rum cocktail while relaxing in an ornate sun-soaked Parisian apartment.”
“A true sensory treat that is perfect for the holiday season.”
“The most elegant fragrance I've come across in a while... impressive silage and a long wear time of about 6 hours on my bare skin. I can't stop recommending it to fellow fans of cherry gourmand scents. ”
“An indulgent, intimate and delicate scent, all at the same time”
