pause
Pause Eau de Parfum is a confident, textured floral designed to calm the body and mind during hormonal change. With a verdant opening of violet leaf, Pause unfolds into a floral heart of mimosa and narcissus. Warm, sweet hay absolute gives an earthy dryness to the base. Envisaged for its feel-good properties but loved by many for its balanced floral profile.

Master Perfumery
"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

Transparency
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.
When I started to experience perimenopausal symptoms in my late thirties such as night sweats and an irregular period I was taken completely by surprise. Perimenopause was not even on my radar, nor did I know much at all about this reverse puberty that women go through, typically in the 5-12 year lead up into Menopause. Saddened and a little outraged by the stigma and shame attached to this life phase and the total lack of conversation around it, I wondered if there was a role in which scent could play and within that, if Abel could be a vessel for shining a light on this journey. The idea of attaching something beautiful like scent, to such a loaded emotional journey just felt right.
When I reached out to French perfumer Dr Fanny Grau to discuss the idea and found out that she was also experiencing symptoms such as insomnia and hormones in overdrive without knowing much at all about what it meant, I realise that there was a time and place for this scent.
Everything Pause embodies, from the rich floral scent profile to the vibrant bottle design reflects our joint mission; to bring confidence and sophistication to this stage of womanhood. We chose ingredients for their therapeutic value as much as their gorgeous scent profile.
