Divisive, yet utterly captivating. Prepare for an exhilarating wave of zesty freshness and salty air, but be warned - the marine notes are a bold statement some will adore and others will dismiss. This ain't for the faint of heart, or wallet.

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its fresh and aquatic profile makes it perfect for casual outings and warmer weather, with some finding it appropriate for dates. However, the strong marine notes and high cost make it less ideal for formal settings or typical office wear. Reviewers highlight it as a 'summertime' and 'vacation' scent, leaning into its casual appeal.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Crab Apple Blossom bursts forth with a vibrant, sparkling bergamot and the subtle green-floral kiss of apple blossom, quickly softened by a sea-spray freshness. A tart, juicy rhubarb cuts through, mingling with a hint of minty brightness before settling into a sophisticated base of creamy sandalwood and sun-warmed driftwood, evoking a refined seaside escape.
