Crabtree & Evelyn Celebrates forty years of fragrance with the Heritage Collection Explore the Mediterranean Memoirs Through Three Flower Waters and Four Eau de Colognes! Hungary Water Eau de Cologne is Highly Recommended by Whom You Know

When we find a brand we love, it's not a matter of being featured once.  Crabtree and Evelyn has been consistently highly recommended since our inception in 2009, and every time they launch something innovative and new to the market, we are excited because of their excellent track record in reviews here.  Even better than just innovative and new is a collection that's a special launch.  
Since its inception, Crabtree & Evelyn has been telling stories through scent, not just with the finished perfume, lotion or soap but also with carefully chosen ingredients sourced from around the world brought to you and your home. 

Founder Cy Harvey’s inspiration was ‘to explore everything and keep the best’. We wish we were able to meet him!~ !!! With this in mind, his fragrance architects set sail on their aromatic adventures to discover such natural treasures as Spanish neroli, Italian bergamot and Sicilian lemon. This spells summer decadence to us!

These superior varieties were then brought back to vast fragrance archives, the legacy of 
Crabtree & Evelyn. The Heritage Collection is infused with 40 years of expertise in fragrance foraging and draws on the knowledge of where to source the most beautifully scented botanicals. The resulting seven compositions exalt the classic aromas of the Mediterranean coastline and Europe’s ancient cities, expressed as exquisite Flower Waters and Eau de Colognes. 

In the 14th Century, tales were told of a unique scented tonic, presented to Budapest’s royalty along with the promise of eternal youth. With strange coincidence they became famed for their youthfulness and beauty, allegedly bestowed by the tonic’s rejuvenating scent. Hungary Water continues the legacy, taking influence from the original Crabtree & Evelyn rosemary recipe and blending with uplifting notes of pink pepper, spearmint, cypress 
and geranium.  It's currently holding Peachy Deegan's top fragrance spot on her quite populated silver fragrance tray (from The Plaza Hotel liquidation in 2005.)  The striking simplicity that is brilliant from morning to night makes this a winner and knowing the research and illustrious history behind it makes the Hungary Water even more coveted.  The packaging makes the Hungary Water even more attractive and the box is just as beautiful as the bottle, making it ideal for gift-giving.

Begin a fragrance journey inspired by sun-ripe aromas that transport the senses to distant shores. The eclectic range of emotive scents is redolent of the grandeur of their provenance and rich heritage. Precious, vintage ingredients with a timeless beauty are given the modern Crabtree & Evelyn English touch. Explore elegant, feminine florals and polished citrus scents with a masculine edge, each one destined to become a contemporary collectible.
