The Story

Launched in 2018, Abduction by The Eyes Are Always There is a Woody Aromatic fragrance that defies conventional categorization with its distinctive blend of earthy and metallic notes. Created by Christopher Gordon and Joe Merrell, the composition opens with floral-ozone, creating an intriguing tension between nature and industrial elements. This is further accentuated by woodsy notes and warm spices, resulting in a scent that feels both grounded and otherworldly.

Application Tips

Abduction is best applied in layers. Start with one spray to allow the floral-ozone top notes to introduce the scent before adding more sprays as the woods and spices settle into place. This fragrance develops gradually over time, so it’s ideal for an evening out where its complexity can unfold.

The story behind the bottle.

The quiet hum of an industrial park at dusk — the earth beneath your feet contrasts with the metallic structures that loom overhead, creating a sense of both stability and intrigue.
