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.

“Abel Black Anise captures the essence of mystery, perfect for evenings that stretch into the early hours. Its smoky amber base exudes warmth, while vibrant top notes of anise and spice add a certain dramatic factor. Inspired by the ambiance of dimly lit lounges and whispered conversations, this scent is both bold and refined.”
“My favorite is their latest genderless release, Black Anise 100% Natural Eau de Parfum, the brand’s moodiest and smokiest scent yet.”
“Darker, moodier and smokier than what many would typically associate with the botanical reputation of natural perfumery Abel’s newest eau de parfum, Black Anise, has been created to challenge expectations.”
“Black Anise is a memorable scent that hits you first with the sweetness of star anise, blackcurrant and cacao, before mellowing to linger with a spicy, smoky amber and tobacco – an ideal combination for sultry winter nights.”
“Black Anise challenges the notion that plant-based fragrances must be light and airy. Instead, it offers a rich, complex, and daring alternative that will appeal to conscious consumers looking for a scent that is both non-toxic and sexy.Sultry, sexy and non-toxic. This is a chic and nuanced option for the conscious consumer.”
black anise
In creating Black Anise, Isaac and I set out to prove to the world once and for all that natural didn’t need to mean simple, botanical and subtle. That, done well, natural perfume can also be dark, sexy and strong.
To create this sultry intense beauty, we turned to the depths of the natural palette. Dark spices such as the scent’s namesake star anise have a silky rich aspect, especially when expertly paired with intense cassis and dark cherry. The heart and base of this scent came together in a flurry of vices - coffee, cacao and Isaac’s late night tobacco, cade and guaiac accord.
The overall effect is a confident, broody late night scent that will take you anywhere and be sure to turn heads.
