Crab Apple Blossom

A reinterpretation by Clive Christian of a Crown Perfumery creation the house dates to 1886, Crab Apple Blossom opened the Crown Collection in 2020: an aquatic citrus of apple blossom and marine bergamot, green rhubarb and a mint and sugar accord, over a base of sandalwood and driftwood.

A tall red glass bottle with a gold crown and monogram, topped with a royal crown in gold metal.

In the house photograph, Crab Apple Blossom comes in a tall rectangular bottle of red glass, with rounded, scalloped shoulders, thick edges and a massive base, revealing a vivid red juice.

A gold decoration bears at the top a crown and a monogram, the words Est 1872, Clive Christian, Crown Collection and, in a curved cartouche, Crab Apple Blossom. Luxurious Magazine describes a deep red with embossed gold lettering.

The gold metal stopper takes the form of a stylized royal crown, scalloped and ornate, on a band engraved with the name of the house; according to Luxurious Magazine, an archive image accompanies each bottle in its case.
