Nurture
Abel (2018)

I love the warm and dry wood in here, there is complexity and nuance here but its all very subtle. Its not a perfume others will really notice for long, but while its there it is nice. I'd recommend this as a layering option if you want to add a bit of depth to something that is lacking that. For me this also makes sense when you want to wear something light after a shower and having a quiet evening alone. Its a comfort scent with beautiful dry, airy wood scents.

Nurture has an intimacy to it, sheer and cloud-like, with silhouettes of orange blossom and rose. Expect no fleshy petals here, the flowers are more like olfactory apparitions that haunt amongst legible fresh-cut ginger and mastic resin. It seems to soothe rather than make a statement.

Even its woody facets have a certain translucency, and Nurture overall quietly hovers just over the skin, not hugging, but caressing. While I am not overly impressed with it, there is a certain charm to Nurture that would certainly appeal to the right audience that gravitates to both quiet luxury and naturalism in perfume. It's nice stuff.

ADDENDUM: Abel promotes this as a maternity-safe floral. That tracks.
