The Signature of Perfume Artists

Kamila Lelakova, the perfumer behind this olfactory gem, stands out for her contemporary and highly sensorial approach. Her style seeks to capture ephemeral moments and sensations with precision and elegance. In Crab Apple Blossom, she masterfully captures the lightness of the sea, the freshness of fruit, and the velvety texture of soft woods, creating an experience that caresses the senses with sophistication and character.

Top Notes: Pure Marine Freshness

From the first moment, the fragrance unfolds an explosion of saline freshness reminiscent of a morning walk by the sea. Bergamot brings its vibrant, citrus sparkle, while the soft and delicate apple blossom adds a slightly fruity floral note that anticipates the sweet heart. It's a clean, revitalizing start, with a moist, light texture like a sea breeze.

Middle Notes: An Unexpected Fruity Cocktail

The heart is pure surprise: the mojito gives a refreshing, green twist, with nuances of lime and mint that energize the composition. Rhubarb, with its unique acidity and vegetal-fruity character, brings tension and energy. This duo creates a contrast between sweet and sour, fruity and green, keeping the fragrance alive without losing its elegance. Here, the perfume becomes sparkling, refined, and addictive.

Base notes: serene, woody sensuality

In the drydown, Crab Apple Blossom reveals an enveloping, soft, almost creamy base. Driftwood gives it a slightly saline quality, with an elegant drydown reminiscent of wood washed by the sea. Sandalwood adds depth, creaminess, and a discreet warmth that accompanies the fragrance's evolution for hours. The combination is harmonious, natural, and very sophisticated.

An all-rounder: versatile and memorable

Ideal for spring and summer as well as mild climates, Crab Apple Blossom is perfect for those seeking a fragrance that combines freshness, elegance, and originality. It works wonderfully in professional settings due to its sophisticated cleanliness, but also shines on casual outings or daytime events. On warm skin tones, its more sensual and fruity side stands out; On cooler skin tones, its aquatic character is intensified.

A bottle, a jewel: luxury according to Clive Christian

The bottle, as is customary for the Clive Christian house, is a collector's item: crowned with the iconic golden cap shaped like an imperial crown and decorated with Queen Victoria's coat of arms, it is a symbol of the legacy of this historic brand. Its vibrant red design contrasts with the gold and cut crystal, evoking both classic luxury and contemporary innovation. A true object of desire for lovers of fine British perfumery.
