During the creation process, Fanny and I set out to create a scent that is soft, inviting and nostalgic while still paying tribute to Abel’s contemporary nature. Scene 02 has an abundance to it that speaks to happy memories of full days.

When I spray Scene 02 I’m immediately transported to a week spent in a mid century cabin in the Dutch woods with my family. The children were not much more than toddlers at the time and we picked wild flowers and mushrooms in the forest beside the house. We ate early dinners al fresco in the dimming golden hour light, turning indoors for board games.

Today, I spray Scene 02 in my home, and the beauty of that modern, rustic environment comes flooding back. What a wonderful and powerful memory trigger is our olfactory sense.

– Frances

Abel

Abel was founded in 2013 by former Amsterdam-based winemaker, Frances Shoemack. For a decade Abel has been on a quest to create the world’s best natural perfume – pushing at the boundaries of art, ethics and natural science. This forward thinking fragrance house was born in Amsterdam and now calls Wellington, New Zealand home.

“It surprised me that while I could get my hands on incredible luxurious natural skincare and make up, when it came to perfume, this just didn’t exist.“
— Frances Shoemack, founder

Fellow New Zealander, and the region’s only Master Perfumer, Paris-based Isaac Sinclair became Shoemack’s 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. Isaac uses the latest in renewable ingredients alongside the best in heritage naturals. The Abel team relentlessly innovates with fragrance development, packaging and processes to challenge industry norms and provide biodegradable, environmentally friendly fragrance alternatives for conscious urbanites the world over.

“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 Sinclair, Master Perfumer

Abel fragrances are made from natural, plant-derived ingredients that are readily biodegradable. All of their products are vegan and cruelty free with all ingredients ethically sourced. They are fully transparent and provide a full list of ingredients for every fragrance. Abel create with intention, not excess, with one eye always on excellence and integrity.
