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
