100% natural fragrance

We create non-toxic, renewable, and biodegradable fragrances using only 100% natural ingredients, for high quality scents that don’t harm others or our ecosystem.

"Behind every Abel fragrance is a radical approach to how we operate. In a fragrance world shrouded by secrecy, we’re always transparent.

In a culture fuelled by hype and excess, we favour the long view and curbing our environmental footprint. And in our use of biotechnology, guided by the artistry of our master perfumer, we create long-lasting 100% natural fragrances that eliminate the need for petrochemical-derived synthetic ingredients."

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.

Transparency

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."

Laundry day

On a dark Parisian Autumn’s day in the lab with Isaac, I found myself dreaming of the crisp spring air back home in New Zealand. For me, there’s something deeply uplifting about springtime and the reawakening it signifies. I turned to our master perfumer Issac with the idea to capture this feeling in a bottle, something he immediately understood. We got lost in the feeling of that first day of spring - when you throw open your windows and anticipate the beauty of the season ahead. Inhale the sweet aroma of freshly cut grass and take joy in the ritual of hanging your sheets on the line, knowing it’ll dry crisp and fresh. Originally we coined this creative idea ‘Laundry Day’ purely as a working name, but it stuck, and Laundry Day became a metaphor for all that is possible in the change of the seasons.To capture the energy of spring, Laundry Day opens with a zesty cut grass and biotech aldehyde accord, has an upcycled passionfruit and lime heart, and a rich vetiver base.The overall effect is a verdant, sun-filled citrus that reawakens the senses. Transporting you to spring, no matter where you are, or what season you’re in. Frances.

Why Modern, Natural Fragrance

Our Purpose

We choose natural ingredients for their olfactory beauty and therapeutic, mood-enhancing qualities. Alongside these positive reasons for choosing natural, plant-derived ingredients, there's tangible information as to why we don't use synthetic fragrance molecules derived from fossil fuels. This nonrenewable resource pollutes water and air and has links to several health concerns.
