Pause

Abel Pause Eau de Parfum is a woody, textured floral fragrance that captures the contrast between bright greenery, fragrant florals, and warm woods. Verdant at the opening and softly grounded at the base, the composition unfolds with an understated depth that highlights the natural character of its floral and woody elements. Violet leaf and grapefruit provide the bright, green opening, leading into a heart of fragrant mimosa, narcissus, and copaiba balsam. Hay absolute adds texture at the base, while cedarwood brings warmth and grounding depth, completing the fragrance with a soft woody character. HOW TO USE IT Apply to pulse points such as the wrists, neck, and behind the ears as desired. For a softer scent experience, lightly mist through the hair. Allow the fragrance a few moments to develop on the skin before reapplying if a more noticeable scent is preferred. Reapply throughout the day as desired to refresh the fragrance.

At a time when fine fragrance relied almost exclusively on synthetic aroma chemicals, Abel set out to redefine what modern natural perfumery could be. Working alongside master perfumer Isaac Sinclair and biochemist Dr. Fanny Grau, Abel blends traditional perfumery with advances in biotechnology to create contemporary fragrances made exclusively with 100% natural ingredients. By incorporating innovative, low-impact biotechnology alongside upcycled botanicals and responsibly sourced natural materials, each scent is crafted with remarkable depth, complexity, and longevity. Every Abel fragrance is thoughtfully composed to evolve beautifully on the skin, revealing unexpected layers throughout the day. With a commitment to artistry, transparency, and sustainability, Abel continues to push the boundaries of natural fragrance—creating perfumes that feel as modern as they are memorable.
