INGREDIENT HIGHLIGHTS
Upcycled - The tart green banana note is upcycled from the food industry, delivering true-to-life fruit vibrancy from a circular source.
First for Abel - A clean, modern white oud heart. Oud sourced from Vietnam, distilled from healthy Aquilaria wood for a lighter, more modern profile.
"Including a white oud marks a first for Abel. A lighter, cleaner take on a traditionally heavy material, reimagined in a distinctly modern way." Isaac Sinclair, Master Perfumer
Three forms - Grounded by three forms of Spanish labdanum that together create richness and texture: a dark, ambery absolute; a fresher, softly floral cistus labdanum; and a heat-transformed pyrogenated labdanum with toasted, tar-like edges.
A celebration of duality, imperfections and personal expression. Miami Split wearers embrace complexity, juxtaposition and living unapologetically.
— Frances, Abel Founder

"Like the infamous act of pop art anarchism that inspired it, Miami Split is mischievous – not just for its misleadingly sweet overtones. Presenting natural fragrances that feel decadent and indulgent is enough to ruffle feathers. Just the fact of Abel’s presence at the luxury perfume counter forces the question, by comparison: what are other brands doing to create equally sustainable and safe, non-toxic scents?"
"The best banana perfume. If you want a truly unique signature, try Abel’s unique Miami Split."
"Think sun-warmed skin, Miami heat and a slightly rebellious attitude. Playful, sophisticated — and for you who don't want to smell like everyone else."
"Opening with a piquant brightness, this scent quickly reveals a white oud base that lends the vivid green-banana accord a subtly subversive twist."
"It’s fresh, warm and quietly addictive, it blends playful sweetness with a polished, grown‑up feel. It opens with an unexpected mix of green banana and caramel – sweet without being too much – before settling into creamy, sun‑warmed woods."
"Edgy, fruity, intense and bold – Miami Split is a new fragrance, and an exciting, complex one made to shake expectations. A mix of banana and burnt caramel gives it a sweet opening, before it settles into a white oud that's lighter and cleaner than you'd expect, then leaving you with a lingering dark labdanum. It's rich, but playful, one for the more adventurous fragrance enthusiasts."
"Combining traditionally opulent oud with the rich creaminess of bananas might sound like a recipe for an overpowering scent, but Abel proves that when cleverly used, both ingredients can create a plush, delectable composition that caresses the skin gently. One of the most sophisticated takes on the banana note."
"Never sickly sweet but definitely indulgent, with a creamy allure that's surprisingly uncloying"
"Miami Split plays on the creamy sweetness of banana. Add plenty of labdanum and notes of burnt caramel over white oud (which is less intense than the traditional variety) and you have something that smells like eating a banana brûlée with a touch of barnyard in the base."
"Banana-scented perfumes are having a moment. Our pick of the bunch this summer is Miami Split by all-natural fragrance brand Abel, which has a top note of upcycled green banana, with a light white oud at its heart and a balancing base of woody labdanum. Hard to imagine it working, but it absolutely does."
"Miami Split fuses pop-art playfulness with dark, resinous depth. It isn’t excessive in its sweetness, nor cloying or juvenile, instead, it’s a sharp, green banana hit spliced with burnt caramel, clean white oud and inky labdanum with warm undertones. A natural perfume bombshell in a bottle, you won’t be able to get enough of this scrumptious spritz."
"Miami Split takes oud and flips it on its head. Banana, caramel, and white oud, are you kidding me?! It reminds me of tropical caramelized bananas with a dirty edge. This is unique and completely spellbinding. I really can’t get enough."
Colourful, and yet shadowed. Playful, and yet subversive.
"The Comedian, provocateur. Playful yearning. Finding unexpected strength."
