The Apartment Eau de Parfum is a dark, sophisticated gourmand designed to transport the wearer to the epitome of Parisian chic.

With a heady opening of tart cherry and rum, The Apartment unfolds into a floral heart of tuberose, grounded by rich cacao. Myrrh and tolu balsam give a velvety warmth to the base.

Inspired by the opulent surroundings of L'Appartement Étoile, The Apartment is a deep floral gourmand scent that embodies true luxury.

LIMITED EDITION

SUSTAINABLE LUXURY

The Apartment is a limited edition scent made from sustainable, upcycled ingredients, and housed in off-cut packaging — a modern reimagining of luxury fragrance.

An upcycled ingredient in fragrance is made of a waste or by-product — the cherry and cacao notes in The Apartment are upcycled, the scent molecules extracted from food production waste-water using patented “Symtech” technology, a process developed by our major fragrance supplier.

100% natural fragrance

We believe nothing is more important than what’s inside the bottle. We subvert the misconception that natural ingredients aren’t enough. The very original perfumery palette, nature provides everything our Master Perfumers and innovative scientists need to create distinct, sophisticated modern perfume, surpassing petrochemical-derived synthetics.

Our fragrances are made from natural, plant-derived ingredients that are readily biodegradable in our ecosystem. All of our products are vegan and cruelty free with all ingredients ethically sourced. We believe in complete ingredient transparency and provide a full list of ingredients in all our fragrances.

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.

From our bottles and packaging to our ingredients and creative process, we’ll always be upfront about the way we do things.

The fragrance world has always been shrouded in secrecy. At Abel, we’re passionate about changing that. From our bottles and packaging to our ingredients and creative process, we’ll always be upfront about the way we do things.

Always conscious of our environmental footprint, we never introduce a new fragrance to our core collection without removing one first. Defying industry trends of excess, our ‘one in, one out’ policy embodies the mindful approach underscoring everything we do.
“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.”

I had spent a long day in the lab with Isaac in which we signed off our new eau de parfum. After months (sometimes years) of working on a scent, making that final decision — the last brushstroke as it were — can be really difficult (especially on jetlag!). When I left the lab, I sprayed the new perfume on myself for the first time and ventured out into the streets of Paris before meeting our team for dinner. En route I wandered into a beautiful little interior design store in the Marais and the very chic French lady behind the counter asked me what perfume I was wearing and where she could buy it… It was such a magical moment! The most charming confirmation I could have received that we’d got the scent just right.
