Product Story
Abel’s most conceptually provocative fragrance takes its cue from Warhol’s pop-art instinct for radical juxtaposition: a tart, upcycled green banana note — sourced from the food industry for true-to-life fruit vibrancy — set against the dark gravity of a Spanish labdanum trio and a white oud heart that marks a first for the brand.
“A celebration of duality, imperfections and personal expression. Miami Spilt wearers embrace complexity, juxtaposition and living unapologetically.” — Frances Shoemack, Abel Founder
Master Perfumer Isaac Sinclair describes the white oud as “a lighter, cleaner take on a traditionally heavy material, reimagined in a distinctly modern way” — sourced from Aquilaria wood in Vietnam and distilled from healthy trees for a profile that is luminous rather than dense.
For those who wear fragrance as a form of self-expression rather than self-presentation — and who find beauty in the collision of opposing worlds.
Active Botanical & Hero Ingredients
| Ingredient | INCI Name | Concentration Tier | Primary Function | Skin Benefit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Green Banana | Musa Paradisiaca Fruit Extract (upcycled) | High | Top note opener — fruity accord | Tart, true-to-life banana vibrancy upcycled from the food industry; fades leaving a trace of tropical sweetness |
| Burnt Caramel | Caramel Furanone (naturally derived) | High | Top note modifier — gourmand depth | Warm, slightly smoky sweetness bridging the fruity top and resinous heart |
| White Oud (Boya Agarwood) | Aquilaria Agallocha Wood Oil (Vietnam) | Mid | Heart anchor — clean modern oud | Lighter and cleaner than traditional agarwood; luminous and woody rather than dense; deepens with body heat |
| Labdanum Absolute | Cistus Ladaniferus Resin Extract (Spain) | Low | Base warmth — dark amber resin | Rich, dark, ambery anchor; imparts depth and tenacity to the dry-down |
| Cistus Labdanum | Cistus Ladaniferus Flower/Leaf Extract (Spain) | Low | Base modifier — floral resin | Softer, more floral facet of labdanum; lifts the base with gentle brightness |
| Pyrogenated Labdanum | Cistus Ladaniferus Pyrolysate (Spain) | Low | Base modifier — toasted depth | Heat-transformed labdanum with toasted, tar-like edges giving the dry-down its edgy character |
How It Works
Miami Spilt opens with an immediate collision of tart upcycled green banana and a whisper of burnt caramel — arresting and unexpected, bright and slightly smoky at once. Within twenty minutes the opening dissolves and the white oud heart emerges: clean, luminous, and woodier than any traditional agarwood composition.
The dry-down is where the Spanish labdanum trio reveals itself — a dark, resinous base of exceptional complexity and tenacity. The three forms of labdanum layer into a warm, ambery finish with toasted, slightly tar-like edges. Sillage is strong and the fragrance remains detectable on fabric for days.
Ideal For
- Those drawn to conceptually bold natural fragrance that challenges the conventions of both fruity and oud compositions
- Wearers seeking a 100% natural statement scent with genuine all-day longevity and exceptional fabric tenacity
- Fans of labdanum and resinous bases who want a lighter, more modern oud counterpoint in the heart
