Able Miami Split

In this review
Miami is a city of stark contrasts—neon nights and salt‑licked mornings, art deco pastels and mangrove darkness. Abel Miami Split (2026) captures that kinetic energy in a bottle. Perfumer Isaac Sinclair takes a gamble with Green Banana and Burnt Sugar as top notes, then plunges into a smoky, resinous heart of White Oud. It’s a fragrance that doesn’t ask for permission; it demands attention.
This is not a beachy coconut scent. Miami Split is the smell of a warehouse gallery after a late‑night party—charred grill residue, split banana peels on hot asphalt, and the lingering incense of a forgotten ritual. Sinclair has created a unisex powerhouse that walks the tightrope between gourmand and woody incense.
With a 4.04 rating on Fragrantica, the fragrance has already sparked debates. Some praise its audacity; others find the burnt sugar clash with oud jarring. But for those who crave the unexpected, Miami Split is a thrilling ride through the underbelly of the Magic City.
