The Story
Why it exists.
The beginning
In Abundance arrived in 2023 as part of INME's debut Spanish catalogue, a collection built around names that describe moods and states of mind. Abundance fits that pattern. It isn't about excess, loudness, or showing off. It suggests the quiet sense that your work, your people, and the person you've become are all sitting in balance. The composition carries that idea through lavender absolute and neroli, with thyme, rosemary, moss, lily of the valley, and seawater notes around them. Nothing about the brief is loud. That's exactly the point. It gives you a fragrance for the days when confidence feels less like a declaration and more like knowing where you stand.
The interesting part is the collision between lavender's familiar calm and the sharper herbs that keep it awake. Thyme and rosemary bring a green, almost savory edge. Neroli softens the whole thing with a clean floral glow, while lily of the valley adds a pale, tender register. Moss and seawater notes pull the composition toward something elemental, like cool earth after a rain shower. It's a familiar aromatic language, but not a sleepy one. The result is fresh with structure, and familiar with a little room left around it. The contrast gives the lavender a more distinctive setting.
The evolution
The opening lands bright and herbaceous. Neroli gives it a clean lift, while thyme and rosemary add the slightly textured green of crushed leaves. Lavender absolute settles in soon after, turning the brightness into something calmer. As the scent moves through its heart, lily of the valley brings a soft white floral hush, and moss keeps the greenery from floating away. Seawater notes stretch the composition outward, giving it a cool, mineral edge like air moving in from the coast. On skin, the arc is measured rather than dramatic. The herbal and floral notes soften first, but the woody, mossy character remains as a quiet trace. Expect the opening brightness to recede through the first few hours, leaving a composed lavender-green presence that stays close through the rest of the wear.
Cultural impact
In Abundance presents fragrance through the idea of balance. The name suggests a quiet sense of having enough, while the composition gives that feeling an aromatic shape. Lavender absolute brings a familiar floral presence, and neroli adds a polished floral accent. Thyme and rosemary introduce a sharper herbal dimension, while lily of the valley keeps the floral character delicate. Moss and seawater notes extend the composition with associations of earth and water. Together, these listed notes create a fragrance that feels composed, present, and quietly self-directed, inviting exploration without relying on loudness or excess.
