One of Abel Fragrances' earliest and most iconic creations, Cobalt Amber, was crafted with one goal in mind: to make natural fragrances more accessible. Founder Frances Shoemack, alongside Master Perfumer Isaac Sinclair, sought to design a fragrance that could convert even those unfamiliar with natural scents.
In the vast world of perfumery, few fragrances tell such a captivating tale. Cobalt Amber bridges the timeless elegance of Art Deco Paris with modern sensibilities, embodying a fragrance that appeals to contemporary tastes while honoring the past. The creation process behind Cobalt Amber reflects the passion of Frances and Isaac, merging natural ingredients with the art of storytelling.
At the heart of Cobalt Amber lies the 'amber' accord, a scent concept born in the late 19th century. This accord originated from the synthesis of vanillin and labdanum, two ingredients that have become pillars in modern perfumery. Using natural vanillin from Madagascan vanilla extract, Frances and Isaac sought to encapsulate the essence of Art Deco Paris in a fragrance that would allure modern-day hedonists.
Cobalt Amber is not just another amber fragrance—it's a modern amber masterpiece. The formula blends traditional ingredients such as sandalwood, patchouli, labdanum, and vanillin, with the distinctive Abel signature—pink pepper and juniper berry enliven the top notes, while cacao and tonka provide a rich and captivating heart. This fragrance is more than just a scent; it's an invitation to discover the beauty of natural perfumery.
Beyond the notes and accords, the story of Cobalt Amber is about conversion. It's a fragrance that bridges the gap between natural and synthetic perfumery, making the world of natural fragrances accessible to everyone. It is a testament to Abel's innovative approach, bringing a fresh perspective to the fragrance world. With Cobalt Amber, every drop tells a story, and every whiff invites you to explore the allure of natural fragrances.
