Crab Apple Blossom

From the first moment, Crab Apple Blossom by Clive Christian is sandalwood: milky timber resting over warm soil. Deeper in, mint unfolds as cool leaves glowing against warm sugar against rhubarb, a lean tartness with garden freshness. Driftwood joins as pale timber washed in sea wind, with sugar as paper-dry crystals on the fingertips. The overall effect is dry and grounded, a woody, sweet heart edged with aromatic herbs and bright fruit.
