Crab apple

Crab apples belong to the genus Malus, just like domestic apples (Malus domestica), but are distinguished by their small fruits and epic blossom displays. Our variety of crab apple is the European Malus sylvestris, also known as the ‘wild forest apple’, which has grown across the continent since the Neolithic period and found its way into many mythologies - notably crab apples are the ‘silver boughs’ of Irish legend, which may open a path to Tír Na nÓg, the Otherworld.

Our natural crap apple extract is made using the CO2 extraction process, using skins and pulp left over from traditional cider making. A sustainable by-product transformed into a perfume ingredient, it captures the character of the wild apple tree - bright, tart and a little floral.
