Vanilla is one of perfumery’s greatest seducers. It’s comforting, sensual, nostalgic and, when done well, utterly irresistible. So whenever a new vanilla fragrance lands on my desk, my expectations are high.
Abel’s new Double Scoop Eau de Parfum is amazing. Inspired by the simple pleasure of artisan ice cream on a hot summer day, Double Scoop captures indulgence in its most sophisticated form. Creamy vanilla and rich butterscotch create a deliciously addictive heart, while rosemary and toasted black sesame add an unexpected savoury twist that elevates the fragrance far beyond the typical gourmand. Think luxury gelato enjoyed on a sun-drenched terrace rather than a trip to the candy store.
This clever balance of sweetness and sophistication is exactly what Abel does so well. Founded by former winemaker Frances Shoemack, the brand has spent more than a decade proving that natural perfumery can be every bit as modern, luxurious and captivating as its conventional counterparts.
Double Scoop feels playful, grown-up and incredibly wearable. The kind of scent that attracts compliments because people can’t quite put their finger on what makes it so addictive. My verdict? If vanilla fragrances are your weakness, prepare to be tempted. (50 ml | € 180)
Notes: Rosemary, toasted black sesame, butterscotch, vanilla and musk.
