Oud Maracujá
On request
Neon, raspberry and supple leather
Cuir Infrarouge captures the energy of electronic-music nights: pulsing neon lights, raspberry cocktails, upbeat playlists and leather seats. Maison Crivelli turns that scene into a woody fruity Extrait de Parfum in which a bright raspberry opening gives way to leather. Jordi Fernandez is the perfumer, and the strength is 32%.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all...
The composition
The house lists its notes without a pyramid.
On the skin
The brand opens the perfume with a raspberry accord and juicy bergamot oil from Italy. This is the neon: a tart, cool, quick fruit that gives the perfume its first jolt of colour before anything darker appears. It is the first thing you notice.
Under the fruit sit cinnamon from Laos, orris from Morocco and osmanthus from China. Cinnamon adds a dry glow, orris a smooth, powdery cool and osmanthus a soft floral warmth, so the raspberry meets something rounder than a simple fruit-and-wood pairing.
The brand describes the drydown as a supple, grained leather with oud, vanilla and tonka. Cedarwood atlas and patchouli from Indonesia give it a dry, woody frame, while vanilla CO2 from Madagascar and tonka bean from Venezuela take the edge off the oud.
Wearing it
An extrait at 32% is dense, so one or two sprays are enough for a scent with this much going on. The raspberry and bergamot show best on warm skin, and the leather comes through as the scent settles. It suits night-time plans but is also easy to wear to a dinner or a party.
People who want a leather perfume with some colour in it: fruit and spice over the leather instead of pure smoke. It suits nights out, parties, dinners and autumn or winter days, and anyone who finds classic leather perfumes too stern.
The idea is specific and modern: a night out rather than a landscape or a memory. The brand backs it with eleven named raw materials, from raspberry accord and bergamot to oud and tonka, and it belongs to the Chocs Olfactifs collection.
Questions
Both, in sequence. The brand opens it on a raspberry accord and bergamot, and the drydown is a supple, grained leather with oud, vanilla and tonka.
The fruit is tart and bright rather than syrupy, and cinnamon, orris and cedarwood add dryness. Vanilla and tonka bring sweetness later, in the leather base.
At 32% it is an Extrait de Parfum, and at that strength the leather and oud have real weight, so one or two sprays are plenty.
Evenings, nights out and the cooler seasons suit it best. In warm weather a single spray keeps the raspberry fresh without letting the leather and oud turn heavy.
The house
Maison Crivelli is an independent Paris house founded by Thibaud Crivelli. Each perfume starts from a real experience the founder had with raw materials, such as saffron fields in fog or passion fruit in an oud forest, and is made as an extrait de parfum or an eau de parfum.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
