Maison Crivelli Oud Maracujá
Oud with a sharp, juicy edge
Oud Maracujá is an Extrait de Parfum from Maison Crivelli, built on a single contrast: the warmth of oud against the thirst-quenching freshness of passion fruit. It starts from founder Thibaud Crivelli's discovery of oud in stilt huts in a secluded oud forest. Created with perfumer Jordi Fernandez, at 32% concentration.

How it unfolds
-
Fruit against wood
A passion fruit accord brings a tart, watery brightness, while the oud accord brings dry, resinous wood. They do not blend so much as keep each other in check, and that tension is the idea of the whole composition. The fruit stays on the tart side, and the oud has something to push against.
-
Rose and saffron as the hinge
Rose absolute from Turkey and saffron sit at the core, as the brand puts it. The rose gives the fruit a darker, rounder body, and the saffron adds a dry warmth that carries the scent toward the wood. Together they make the bridge between the bright fruit and the dark base.
-
What it settles into
Vanilla, cistus absolute from Spain and benzoin from Laos form an amber base, again in the brand's words. Leather accord, patchouli oil from Indonesia and akigalawood add dryness and a woody weight, so the sweetness stays soft and resinous rather than sugary.
Wearing it
When, who and why
Wearing it
Two or three sprays on warm skin, at the chest or the sides of the neck, are plenty. An Extrait de Parfum at 32% is dense and stays close to the skin, so add more only when you want presence. It fits cooler evenings and dressed-up occasions best.
Who it is for
People who like oud but want some fruit and sweetness in it, and anyone who enjoys resinous, amber-leaning perfumes and finds most fruity scents too light. It fits dinners, evenings out and special occasions, and it is at home in autumn and winter.
Why choose Maison Crivelli Oud Maracujá
Maison Crivelli builds each perfume on a real experience with raw materials, and this one comes from an oud forest. The brand describes the extrait as vegan and names its key materials one by one, with their origin where it is known, so you can see what the composition rests on.

Questions
Frequently asked
What concentration is it?
An Extrait de Parfum at 32%, the richer of the brand's two strengths. It is dense and close to the skin, so a few sprays go a long way.
How would you describe the scent?
Warm oud and saffron with a tart passion-fruit edge, over a resinous amber base. The brand files it under exotic, woody and fruity.
When is it best worn?
In cooler weather and in the evening. The oud, leather and benzoin give it a weight that suits dinner or a night out more than a warm afternoon.

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
