Description The Apartment — Late evening in a Parisian flat — cherry, rum, white florals, and the slow warmth of myrrh Category Eau de Parfum Fragrance Family Dark Floral Gourmand / Oriental Balsamic Scent Character Opulent, sophisticated, sensual, nocturnal, velvet Texture Strong sillage · 8–10 hours on skin · Exceptional longevity on fabric When to Use Evening wear · Special occasions · Autumn–Winter · Unisex Free From 100% natural ingredients · Upcycled cherry · Biodegradable packaging · 100% recycled paper · Kerbside recyclable glass · Vegan Product Story The Apartment takes its name and spirit from the L’Appartement Étoile in Paris — a world of plush furnishings, candlelight, and the specific luxury of being somewhere beautiful with nowhere else to be. “A playful musing on the opulent (and very Parisian) surroundings of the L’Appartement Étoile. Wearing The Apartment is an invitation to escape to a luxurious moment in time.” — Frances Shoemack, Abel Founder The opening is built on upcycled tart cherry, rum, and cacao — a trio that signals evening and pleasure without tipping into sweetness — before jasmin and tuberose emerge at the heart, rich and white-floral and unmistakably nocturnal. For the wearer who dresses with intention after dark, and who regards fragrance as the final, most considered element of that ritual. Active Botanical & Hero Ingredients Ingredient INCI Name Concentration Tier Primary Function Skin Benefit Tart Cherry Prunus Cerasus Fruit Extract (upcycled) High Top note opener — fruity accord Upcycled cherry delivers a tart, jewel-bright sweetness; sets the nocturnal, celebratory tone Rum Saccharum Officinarum Distillate High Top note modifier — warm spirit Adds warmth and a subtle alcoholic facet that deepens the cherry and bridges it to the cacao Cacao Theobroma Cacao Pod Extract High Top note modifier — dark gourmand Dry, bitter cacao grounds the opening and prevents the cherry from reading as simply fruity Jasmin Jasminum Sambac Flower Extract Mid Heart anchor — white floral Sambac jasmin’s indolic, richly tropical character gives the heart its opulent, slightly animalic quality Tuberose Polianthes Tuberosa Flower Extract Mid Heart anchor — white floral intensity Cream-heavy and intoxicating; pairs with jasmin for maximum white floral impact Gurjun Balsam Dipterocarpus Turbinatus Resin Mid Heart modifier — resinous depth Southeast Asian balsam adding smoky, woody-resinous quality to the white floral heart Myrrh Commiphora Myrrha Resin Low Base anchor — dark resin Ancient, earthy, and incense-adjacent; the dry-down’s most distinctive element Tolu Balsam Myroxylon Balsamum Resin Low Base modifier — warm balsam Cinnamon-adjacent warmth that softens the myrrh and adds spiced sweetness to the base Vanilla Vanilla Planifolia Extract (Madagascar) Low Base modifier — soft gourmand A quiet creamy sweetness that rounds the resinous base and ensures a warm finish How It Works The Apartment opens with the precise, tart brightness of upcycled cherry and rum — instantly recognisable as an evening scent — with dry cacao adding depth and sophistication. The white florals emerge slowly, sambac jasmin’s indolic richness arriving first, followed by the cream-heavy tuberose. The dry-down is the composition’s triumph: myrrh, tolu balsam, and vanilla layer into a resinous base of exceptional depth and tenacity. Sillage is strong through the opening and heart, quieting to an intimate skin-close warmth in the late dry-down. Ideal For Evening and special-occasion wearers who want a 100% natural dark floral gourmand that rivals luxury synthetic alternatives in longevity and projection Cherry and white floral lovers seeking complexity — where the sweet elements are grounded by resinous depth rather than amplified Those whose fragrance wardrobe needs a true signature night scent that performs on fabric and skin for an entire evening Key Attributes upcycled-cherry tuberose jasmin-sambac myrrh tolu-balsam dark-floral-gourmand oriental-balsamic nocturnal opulent 100%-natural-edp biodegradable-packaging abel-perfume vegan
