An archive from 1886

According to the house, the original ranks among the most famous creations of the Crown Perfumery and dates back to 1886: a crab apple tree in bloom, on the founder’s London property in Kensington, was its inspiration.

The house describes an aquatic citrus of 151 ingredients, at a 25% concentration, fresh and energizing yet soft. Now Smell This recalls that Clive Christian bought the Crown Perfumery in 1999.
