Product Story
Most marine fragrances promise the sea and deliver a synthetic approximation of clean air. Cyan Nori goes further — it uses actual nori seaweed extract as its base material, delivering the briny, umami character of the ocean with a specificity that no synthetic marine accord can replicate.
“Cyan Nori is a raw and powerful ode to our ocean. When I wear it, I feel as though I am floating in a dreamy aquatic eternity.” — Frances Shoemack, Abel Founder
The opening is sweet and immediately appealing — tangerine and white peach — before a clean musk transition leads to the nori base: salty, slightly mineral, deeply aquatic, and utterly distinctive on skin.
For anyone who finds the smell of the open ocean more compelling than anything else in the natural world.
Active Botanical & Hero Ingredients
| Ingredient | INCI Name | Concentration Tier | Primary Function | Skin Benefit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tangerine | Citrus Reticulata Peel Oil | High | Top note opener — sweet citrus | Bright, sweet-forward citrus making the fragrance immediately accessible and joyful |
| White Peach | Prunus Persica Fruit Extract | High | Top note modifier — soft fruit | Soft, fuzzy stone fruit sweetness that softens the transition to the marine base |
| Musk | Ambrettolide (naturally derived musk) | Mid | Heart bridging accord — skin musk | Clean, skin-close bridge between the sweet citrus top and the briny marine base |
| Nori Seaweed | Porphyra Umbilicalis Extract | Low | Base anchor — marine umami | The composition’s defining material: briny, slightly mineral, deeply oceanic; intensifies with body heat |
How It Works
Cyan Nori opens with a burst of sweet tangerine and white peach — genuinely delicious and immediately wearable — before the ambrettolide musk begins to warm and deepen the transition. The nori base emerges gradually, becoming more prominent as the fragrance dries down.
On skin, the nori interacts with body heat in a remarkable way — it becomes increasingly like the wearer’s own skin signature rather than a perfume note sitting on top. Sillage is moderate and the composition wears for six to eight hours, with the marine quality most prominent in the late dry-down.
Ideal For
- Those who love the smell of the ocean and have never found a marine fragrance that captures the briny, umami quality of the sea rather than a synthetic clean-air approximation
- Wearers in warm, humid climates seeking a fresh, aquatic fragrance that genuinely performs and doesn’t sour in heat
- Fragrance adventurers looking for a truly distinctive base material — nori seaweed as a perfume note is rare and Cyan Nori is one of the few compositions built around it
