Abel, the niche fragrance house from New Zealand, returns with a bold new release for 2026: Odor Miami Split. This unisex eau de parfum is a departure from the brand's usual green and floral offerings, diving into a smoky, sweet, and woody territory. Perfumer Isaac Sinclair combines an unexpected green banana top note with burnt sugar, white oud, and labdanum to create a scent that is both gourmand and resinous. With moderate performance and a price point of $120–$180 for 50ml, Odor Miami Split is positioned as an accessible luxury for those who appreciate complex, modern ouds.
