Tropical Drink On a Sunny Beach
Crab Apple Blossom definitely smells like a tropical cocktail. What you have are fresh citruses and an aquatic note that makes it smell slightly salty. Also there’s a sweetness in the fragrance that may be from the mojito accord and creaminess from sandalwood. It blends together and creates an intoxicating aroma.

I’m going to be honest, I do not know what crab apple blossoms smell like, so I do not know if it’s in the fragrance. Please forgive me.

Sillage is below average and performance is slightly above average. Maybe five hours max on a warm day on my skin.

Overall the fragrance is gorgeous and unisex, but you may want to spray on your clothes for better performance.

I smelled it all before, but not this well balanced.
I tested Crap Apple Blossom from Clive Christian today.
Okay, then what the hell is a crab apple? After some research on the internet I found out that the crab apple is a collective term for all apple trees that don't grow 'culinary' apples (apples you know from the supermarket). The crab apples are sour, and sometimes made into a jelly with a lot of sugar.
Google also indicated that there is a Bach remedy from Crap Apple, which is mainly intended for "people who are upset about aspects of their appearance of their personality".

If that were the case, I would have drunk the whole sample :-).

The start is exciting and fresh. Lots of citrus, bergamot. After 10 minutes I also smell the aquatic note: a little salt. I recognize this salty note from scents such as Acqua di Sale and Corallium from Carthusia. It is as if you can lick the crystals off your skin.

The salt lingers and after an hour it goes together with a fresh sweet apple scent and… mint. Yes, definitely mint.
Gosh, that goes well together with the sweetness of the blossom; the fragrance never gets "heavy".

Not much happens anymore and after 6 hours I have to rub my nose over my wrists to smell something. Where is the wood? I absolutely don't detect it.

Well, Crab Apple Blossom. I've smelled it all before…. and yet again not in this combination. And at least not so nicely balanced. But for 400 bucks I would have liked more silage.

So that won't be a full bottle for me, unless I can get one very cheaply. And maybe…. I would also secretly layer it with a wood scent.

Update:
This morning at 07.00 during the training, I found the creamy wood. Not very strong, but it’s there. That's pretty good (almost 24 hours later). Apparently it needed some sweat

A unique freshy
This is one of my favorites fresh fragrances of all time, because it has that combination I'm in love with; creaminess and freshness.
Like almost all Clive Christian fragrances, there is a certain level of class to the scent. Many refer to a Mojito vibe, which I agree on, but the level of the Mojito vibe is less than let's say Creed's Virgin Island Water.

Absolute stunner from the brand again and love to wear this for almost all occasions!

A Summer game changer
This is my third dive into the House, and this one is a summer beauty. Before I start this does have some similarities to Creed's Virgin Island Water but to me this is so much better. This is more serious it's cleaner and more sophisticated. Opening of this I get a fresh picked mint alongside a sour rhubarb note. The apple blossom makes it clean while the driftwood in the base makes it salty. The performance is good as so is the fragrance. Another gem from the house.

Fresh Mojito scent
Really nice, beautiful and fresh, easy reach and doesn't bother anyone but performance is subtle yet sophisticated and even classy. Opening is quite sharp fresh Bergamot with salty touch and it turns into Rhubarb and Mojito notes which both are incredible realistic, not too sour yet not sweet at all. The blend brings immediately the beautiful breeze of summer, sipping the cocktail at the beach restaurant. I wish the middle notes would have last longer. The woody base unfolds too soon and and an ultimate fresh feeling disappears however remaining without turning creamy or heavy. This is beautiful scent, I'm just addicted in Mojito vibe in this but this is not just that which means of course that scent is not linear.

I adore this one, gorgeous citrusy aquatic with an amazing mojito vibe. Perfect for hot weather. Longevity is good, but it's quite soft.

Opens fresh-citrus aromatic, main comp would be Elysium Eau Intense. The driftwood has an incense-like feel in the base. Not aquatic imo.

A floral oceanic fragrance, with some salty touches and an apple vibe. Nice for summer, but not for this price...
