The review
Worth a try. That is where Blooming Red lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Crab Apple Blossom.
The Dua Brand sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Crab Apple Blossom's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength The Dua Brand publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
What it is chasing: green apple and bergamot up top, apple blossom, jasmine and rose in the middle, musk, sandalwood and amber underneath — the shape of Clive Christian Crab Apple Blossom.
Top
- green apple
- bergamot
Heart
- apple blossom
- jasmine
- rose
Base
- musk
- sandalwood
- amber
Apple blossom and green apple over soft musk, an 1886 formula still smelling fresh.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
