Pause Eau de Parfum is a confident, textured floral designed to calm the body and mind during hormonal change. With a verdant opening of violet leaf, Pause unfolds into a floral heart of mimosa and narcissus. Warm, sweet hay absolute gives an earthy dryness to the base. Envisaged for its feel-good properties but loved by many for its balanced floral profile.

For almost a decade, Abel has been creating the world’s best 100% natural perfume without compromising on ethics or aesthetics.

Tired of putting toxic chemicals on her skin and knowing their impact on the environment, Frances Shoemack was searching for a truly natural perfume and came up short. Soon after, the idea for Abel was born. Fellow New Zealander, Master Perfumer Isaac Sinclair became Shoemack’s first ally in the quest to revolutionise an industry. Together, they created perfume that is not only 100% natural, but also modern and stands up alongside the world’s best.


The entire Abel collection is Vegan Society certified. This means all of products and 100% of the ingredients used have been independently verified as containing no animal ingredients or by-products throughout the manufacturing process, as well as being cruelty-free. Beautiful perfume is only made without harm to animals, ourselves, or our planet.
