A hint of bitter Orange and Violet open this cool Labdanum rich fragrance, where dark Incense and Ambergris collide with warm Patchouli in a harmonious clash.

This is a punk-rock fragrance; dark, edgy and somewhat polarising.
Unisex
MORE DETAILS+
A viscous resin harvested from the European Rock Rose, labdanum is used and loved for its richness, complexity and incredible lasting power. Abel's perfumer Isaac Sinclair declares labdanum his “fetish” scent.
Top - Bitter Orange, Violet
Heart - Patchouli, Sandalwood
Base - Labdanum, Olibanum
The intensity of Labdanum is wrestled by equally precocious notes of Patchouli, Incense and Ambergris (naturally derived from clove bud oil). Top notes of Violet and bitter Orange give a freshness and unexpected twist.

ABOUT THE BRAND+
Founder Frances Shoemack, an Amsterdam based former winemaker created Abel Odor with a mission to blend the pleasurable world of perfumery with the conscious simplicity of nature. Joining forces with Sao Paolo based master perfumer Isaac Sinclair they have brought together a selection of natural unisex perfumes that are modern, chic and long lasting.
How Abel is different to most other natural perfumes?
Synthetic musk is used in 99% of perfume for its role as a fixative and ability to enhance the overall fragrance. Abel Odor has been able to source a 'natural' Musk alternative (isolated from the Ambrette Seed) and the addition of natural isolates to their formulas means access to ingredients previously unavailable in a natural perfumers’ palette. Their brand has thus become a game-changer in the world of fragrance.
