Abel The Apartment was released in 2024. Created by Isaac Sinclair, it has notes of rum, cherry, cacao, tuberose, jasmine, tolu balsam and myrrh.
From the brand - "The Apartment by Abel is a dark, sophisticated gourmand fragrance designed to transport the wearer to the epitome of Parisian chic. With a heady opening of tart cherry and rum, it unfolds into a floral heart of tuberose, grounded by rich cacao. Myrrh and Tolu balsam give a velvety warmth to the base. "MOOD: Haussmannian architecture. Light filtering through half-drawn velvet curtains. A cherry-stained napkin."
Fragrantica - "Thi is a subtle, skin-close fragrance that creates an intimate aura rather than dominating a room. The opening features a soft, natural cherry—never sharp or acidic—that gracefully transitions into a lightly sweet heart. This sweetness is akin to a well-balanced cocktail, airy and refreshing, rather than the heavy sweetness of dessert. While the cherry and powdery chocolate notes might suggest a gourmand profile, I perceive The Apartment as more of an aromatic scent with gourmand nuances."
Fragrantica - "Beautiful warm spicy fragrance that stands out from the gourmand crowd. It does smell like walking into a beautiful old Hausmann apartment with old books and red wine. Love it!"
