Q: What is Sample Sale stock?
A: Sample Sale stock can be identified online by the circle label "Sample Sale" on the product listing. If the product listing does not have this label, it is not sample sale stock.

Sample Sale products are being sold at a generous discount due to one or more of the following reasons: 

  • Damaged outer box
  • Tester packaging - perfume packaged in plain tester box
  • Old retail stickers or barcodes on the box or cellophane
  • Wrong name on the perfume bottle (perfume will be listed on this site as the fragrance inside, not the name on the bottle)
  • Damaged print on the bottle
  • Scratches on the cap
  • No cellophane
  • Marks on the outer box
  • No notecard inside the box
  • Mismatched boxes and perfume
  • Sediment or discolouration of perfume - this does not affect the perfume, it’s just a natural reaction between some ingredients
  • White Vetiver only: there are some bottles of White Vetiver that are from an older production run. They are less fresh and bright smelling (less “white”!), and more earthy, smokey
  • Nurture Only: old packaging, the selection made at random
  • Nurture Only: different spray caps, to replace faulty caps from a particular batch

scene 01

In creating Scene 01, Fanny and I were inspired by the beautiful minimalist homes of Tokyo, where a restrained palette of natural materials and functional furniture and curio make for a crisp, purified environment. 

During the creation process I visited Japan and partook in tea ceremonies to truly capture the soft bitterness of true Japanese green tea. I perused beautiful Tokyo apartments and interior spaces that shut out the bustle of this metropolis whilst managing to bring a touch of nature inside.

The resulting scent will evoke a sense of Japanese calm and tranquility in your home or office. Personally I love spraying it before I sit to read, work or just “be” in a space, it’s crisp palette creates the perfect ambiance from which to focus the mind.

100% natural fragrance

We believe nothing is more important than what’s inside the bottle. We subvert the misconception that natural ingredients aren’t enough. The very original perfumery palette, nature provides everything our Master Perfumers and innovative scientists need to create distinct, sophisticated modern perfume, surpassing petrochemical-derived synthetics.

Our fragrances are made from natural, plant-derived ingredients that are readily biodegradable in our ecosystem. All of our products are vegan and cruelty free with all ingredients ethically sourced. We believe in complete ingredient transparency and provide a full list of ingredients in all our fragrances.

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.
