Pause
Pause by Abel is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with violet leaf and grapefruit, moves into mimosa, narcissus and copaiba balsam and dries down to hay and cedarwood. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects softly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Violet Leaf Crisp, watery green with a metallic edge. Cool rather than fresh.
- Grapefruit Bitter, slightly sweaty citrus. More grown-up than lemon.
Heart
- Mimosa Soft, powdery, honeyed yellow flower. Gentle and comforting.
- Narcissus Green, hay-like and slightly animalic. Strange and beautiful.
- Copaiba Balsam A soft, woody Amazonian resin. Smooth, slightly peppery and long-lasting.
Dry-down
- Hay Sun-dried grass and tonka. Warm, rustic and comforting.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
