Cyan Nori Eau de Parfum

“The 23 Best Summer Fragrances of 2023 — This juicy, warm, and slightly umami scent is the ideal way to transport yourself to the Italian riviera with just a couple of spritzes.”

When Abel Founder Frances moved from Central Amsterdam to the South Coast of Wellington, she found herself utterly infatuated with her new ocean backyard. It was on a phone call with Abel's Master Perfumer, Isaac, not long after moving, that she said “I know there’s no ‘ocean’ ingredient, but gosh I wish we could capture this incredible life force in a scent.” Isaac’s response was the trigger for the birth of Cyan Nori.

When Abel Founder Frances moved from Central Amsterdam to the South Coast of Wellington, she found herself utterly infatuated with her new ocean backyard. It was on a phone call with Abel's Master Perfumer, Isaac, not long after moving, that she said “I know there’s no ‘ocean’ ingredient, but gosh I wish we could capture this incredible life force in a scent.” Isaac’s response was the trigger for the birth of Cyan Nori.

Abel was born with mission is to create the world’s best natural perfume without compromising on ethics or aesthetics, and is a by-product of founder Frances Shoemack's failed search for a truly beautiful, all natural perfume. The more she learnt about the petrochemical-based industry and the toll it takes on not only us, but the environment, the more she realised that this was something she needed to do. So, she teamed up with Master Perfumer, Paris-based Isaac Sinclair, who would become her first ally in the quest to disrupt an industry that didn't believe natural perfume could be chic, modern, or stand up alongside the world's best.

Made from natural, plant-derived ingredients that are readily biodegradable in our ecosystem, all of Abel’s products are also vegan and cruelty-free with all ingredients ethically sourced. With a commitment to transparency that’s unconventional in the fragrance world, Abel provide a full list of ingredients for every product.

The whole collection is gender neutral (unisex). Apply the perfume to warm skin, i.e. pulse points such as your neck, wrist, inner part of your elbows and the back of your knees.


To increase the life of your perfume on your skin, we recommend moisturising (with a fragrance free cream or oil) before you apply your perfume as the drier your skin, the more quickly it will absorb the fragrance oils. Perfume applied to your hair and / or clothes will last longer than perfume applied to your skin. Also reconsider where you apply your perfume – pulse points are good for the fragrance developing on your skin, however the inside of your wrists aren't ideal if you are typing on a computer all day or washing your hands regularly. When applied near your nose (i.e. your neck), you become desensitised quickly, so although others will smell your fragrance, you won’t.
