Product Story
Nurture began as a very specific brief: a fragrance to support mothers in the pre- and post-partum period. The result is something softer and more enveloping than most fragrances in the Abel collection — a gentle floral musk that wraps rather than announces.
“Dreamt up as a scent to support mothers pre- and post-partum, Nurture is a soft, enveloping scent that serves as a reminder (to us all) to take care of yourself.” — Frances Shoemack, Abel Founder
Orange blossom and Bulgarian rose open with tender brightness; jasmin sambac, ginger, and orris deepen the heart with warmth and quiet complexity; sandalwood and musk close the composition in a creamy, skin-like finish that merges with the wearer.
For anyone — not just mothers — who needs a fragrance that feels like a gentle hand on the shoulder.
Active Botanical & Hero Ingredients
| Ingredient | INCI Name | Concentration Tier | Primary Function | Skin Benefit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Orange Blossom | Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil | High | Top note opener — tender floral | Honeyed, slightly waxy citrus blossom that opens softly and sets a gentle, nurturing tone |
| Bulgarian Rose | Rosa Damascena Flower Oil (Bulgaria) | High | Top note modifier — classic floral | Full-bodied, classic rose adding romantic warmth to the opening |
| Jasmin Sambac | Jasminum Sambac Flower Extract | Mid | Heart anchor — warm white floral | A warmer, softer jasmin variety adding a milky, slightly creamy quality to the heart |
| Ginger | Zingiber Officinale Root Extract (organic) | Mid | Heart modifier — spiced warmth | Gentle, comforting ginger warmth adding depth without sharpness; feels grounding rather than energetic |
| Orris | Iris Pallida Root Butter | Mid | Heart modifier — powdery elegance | Quiet note of orris powder adding faintly rooty elegance and binding the floral heart together |
| Sandalwood | Santalum Album Wood Oil | Low | Base anchor — creamy wood | East Indian sandalwood’s creamy, milky warmth extends the composition’s gentle sweetness into the dry-down |
| Musk | Ambrettolide (naturally derived musk) | Low | Base fixative — skin musk | Amplifies the wearer’s skin chemistry; ensures the dry-down is intimate rather than loud |
How It Works
Nurture opens delicately with orange blossom and Bulgarian rose — tender, honeyed, immediately soft — before jasmin sambac and a quiet ginger warmth emerge at the heart. The orris adds a faint powdery elegance without letting the composition become starchy.
The dry-down is the composition’s most beautiful moment: sandalwood and musk merge into the skin in a creamy, warm finish that wears closer and closer as the hours pass. Sillage is deliberately soft and intimate.
Ideal For
- Mothers in the pre- and post-partum period seeking a soft, non-overwhelming fragrance that feels comforting and gentle on a heightened sense of smell
- Those who prefer close-wearing, skin-like fragrances that feel like a second skin rather than a statement — a daily, quiet luxury
- Wearers transitioning from conventional soft florals to natural perfumery, looking for the same comforting warmth without synthetic musks
