Maison Crivelli - Oud Maracuja

Oud Maracuja collides the ripe, acidic burst of passionfruit with the dense, resinous weight of agarwood, wrapping saffron and Turkish rose around a core of Indonesian patchouli and leather that deepens toward a labdanum-anchored amber base.

The Nose

Composed by Jordi Fernández for Maison Crivelli, also behind Montblanc Explorer, Ex Nihilo Blue Talisman and Ex Nihilo The Hedonist.

Fragrance Character

It opens with passionfruit's sharp, almost fizzing acidity cut through with saffron's dry metallic heat and rose, lush but not precious. The oud arrives with real presence, smoked and animalic, grounded by patchouli leaf and benzoin into something earthy and dense. On the drydown, vanilla and labdanum pull the whole composition warm and close to skin, where it lingers with quiet authority.

Best Worn

High summer heat amplifies the tropical fruit against the resinous base in a way cooler months cannot; this belongs on skin headed somewhere after dark, worn by someone who does not apologize for taking up space.

Why the Oud Maracuja Decant

The pairing of tropical fruit brightness with heavy oud and leather is genuinely polarising, and the enormous projection in the opening hours means a single decant will tell you everything you need to know before committing to a full bottle.
