Every single ingredient, in every one of Abel's perfumes, started its life as a plant, and is readily biodegradable back into our ecosystem.
Abel fragrances are made entirely of essential oils, extracts and plant-derived scent molecules in a base of organically certified, food-grade grain alcohol. That’s it.
Abel fragrances are also completely vegan and cruelty-free and all ingredients are ethically sourced - Abel guarantees fairtrade and sustainable farming practices. Unlike most other perfumes, there are no fossil fuel or petrochemical derivatives, and no parabens or phthalates.
1% of all revenue goes to environmental causes in partnership with 1% for the planet.
Abel also believes in full transparency, and makes public the full list of every single ingredient (and its origin) in your Abel perfume.
About Abel
Abel is the new standard in modern fragrance.
Back in 2013, having fallen out of love with the feel of synthetic fragrances for their toxicity to ourselves and the environment, New Zealander Frances Shoemack was on the hunt for a sophisticated 100% natural perfume.
Not able to find any natural perfumes that were also high-end and modern, former winemaker Frances decided to craft her own. She turned to Master Perfumer Isaac Sinclair (also a New Zealander, now Brazil-based) with the challenge of creating a perfume collection from only 100% natural ingredients. Ingredients that could be born of the earth and would, therefore, harmlessly return to it.
A road much less travelled in perfumery, Frances has also sought out sophisticated biotechnology, using gentle natural science techniques to guide her ingredients into modern, elevated scents. The Abel collection is now a thoughtful edit of world-leading fragrances without any need for chemical counterparts, an emphasis on low impact and, most importantly, a plant-only ingredient list.
Most of the fragrance ingredients used in traditional perfumes are synthetic fragrance molecules, derived from fossil fuels like crude oil. Abel doesn't use these because they are a nonrenewable resource and they create significant water and air pollution, amongst other detriments to our environment. These ingredients also have links to several health concerns.
