Azzure Oud

"Blind" bought this having tried oud maracuja before, it's a scent you can't forget once you smell again. I'd say out of the box this is 90-95% accurate like people say, opening is almost undetectably 1:1, drydown. However, feels like there's a tad more maracuja in this than the OG and perhaps slightly less oud than others have mentioned, but i need to test side by side to determine this + let it mature for a bit. Pretty much you won't tell the difference, the price is a no-brainer, performance is out of this world. I will have to mention i tried oud maracuja about 1.5 years before trying the clone, but as i said, once you've smelled it, it is stored in your mind forever, a very unique, passionate and lovely scent. I will say you HAVE to keep to 1-2 sprays and no more, otherwise you will gas everyone including yourself, the projection can't be taken lightly. The only downside is you will have to be very cautious to where and when to wear this, since a lot of people will not like it, i wouldn't even be offended to smell this pass me in summer. It's a bit shocking how much noses can differ, my introduction to oud was laughably tom ford's oud wood, which is very woody and a lot less oudy, oud maracuja was basically my 2nd fragrance as an introduction to this niche, i loved it immediately. It's only later on i found out it's an acquired taste, i even suggested it to a friend of mine claiming he would love it. He blind bought oud maracuja, and just like me loved it, although he didn't like that the maracuja was pungent and overwhelming in the opening, but then he loved it 15 minutes later as it dried down, anecdotally he took a shower right after, not particularly due to the fragrance, he just wanted to try it out as he was hopping in for a shower, of course it didn't wash off and it's when he also fell in love with it. it's a master piece, i will give the clone a 9/10 and the OG a 10/10. If you love this and have the money to burn, i would buy oud maracuja, since it's a very situational fragrance and spray should be limited to a minimum, it will last for a very long time.

I got a 2ml decant of Maison Crivelli Oud Maracuja in the last few weeks and I've loved it, I've gone through more than half of it already. I adore TF Ombre Leather, but I could never be a fan of fruity leathers like Tom Ford Tuscan Leather, PDM Godolphin or Rasasi La Yuqawam. Turns out I just don't like the raspberry. Today I got to sample this in a local shop and it does a few things that I think make it a little more 'wearable'. I liken this scent profile between Oud Maracuja and Azzure Aoud to the Red Bull Tropical in the yellow can, caffeine included, with a leathery depth that's sports car crisp but a little skanky and dirty sexy. Oud Maracuja is like your third drink of the night, that Red Bull Tropical's citric acid is going to burn with on your tongue, and you're going until the morning. I think Azzure Oud is a bit more sociable and friendlier, like it's served on ice in a glass. It's still got some dirtiness to it, but it's a very pleasing alternative to 'jammy' or 'citrusy' leathers or while taking a bit more of an ambitious animalic bite. I find it also has a bit less oud and a bit more leather compared to Oud Maracuja, though its gains are more in the cleaner presenting half of the leather accord. It's not playing it safe, but its not as provocative as Oud Maracuja. Longevity is incredible and potent, equal to Oud Maracuja but perhaps muskier in the driest hours, you might get hit some stank when you wake up if you apply this in the evening. Honestly, I think a lot of debate around this fragrance is people blind buying this after enjoying Liquid Brun, and not knowing what they got themselves into. It's definitely more of a thrillseeker's blend, it's quite electric and energizing, and it's not for everyone. Certainly is for me though. I'm really curious to see how this plays with my taste in high heat because this speaks much more to my warm weather interests than cool. This also makes me really want to see someone come out with a prickly pear leather (perhaps with a bit of lemon in the top).

This fragrance is a highly regarded clone of Oud Maracuja, often described as a near 1:1 match. It excels across various seasons and occasions, particularly during fall and winter, thanks to its rich, warm, and sweet profile. The dominant notes of oud, passion fruit, and rose create a cozy and inviting aroma, making it ideal for colder days and nights. Azzure Aoud projects remarkably well, leaving a noticeable yet elegant scent trail. Given its bold character, a light application is recommended, especially for close-contact settings. Its longevity is outstanding, lasting 8–10+ hours on skin and even longer on clothing, rivaling the performance of much higher-end fragrances. For its price, Azzure Aoud delivers impressive quality. The blend is smooth, and the scent profile feels luxurious and well-executed, standing out among other fragrances in its price range. Many consider it to be 90–95% similar to the original Oud Maracuja. The passionfruit and rose accords shine brightly, lending the fragrance a sweeter, gourmand-style oud appeal. While Azzure Aoud might lack a bit of the depth and complexity of the original, it remains an exceptional alternative that captures the essence of its inspiration. Its similarities to Oud Maracuja are nearly identical, with subtle differences; some find Azzure Aoud slightly sweeter or denser, depending on individual perception. Due to its rich and heavy profile, this fragrance may feel overwhelming in hot weather or very casual daytime settings, so it is best reserved for cooler temperatures or more formal occasions. Opting for a lighter application ensures it remains balanced and wearable in a variety of environments. Overall, Azzure Aoud is a remarkable choice for anyone seeking a bold, sweet, and opulent fragrance that delivers incredible performance and quality without breaking the bank. - FragmanTixs

Okay, All these reviews of this fragrance are complete bull. If you're Arab, or have been exposed to their culture, you'd know that Oud is a vital point of their culture. Whether it's bakhoor, attars or perfumes, you name it. Now, im not going to discriminate, but all these reviews saying that it smells like ''burnt-rubber'' clearly aren't from an Arab or South West Asian background. They haven't handled real oud lol. And it goes for every fragrance with oud. I guarantee you there'll be someone who says the classic ''rubber'' claim. Now enough background talk, let's get into the fragrance. Azzure Aoud got rid of the initial roughness of Oud Maracuja and amped up the passionfruit and fruity notes by a bit more to make it appeal more. It is a 96% clone of Oud Maracuja. It opens up with the iconic passionfruit note, then the saffron, the oud and leather. From there, the oud and leather blend together to make the base of the fragrance, making it a bit more wearable, with a slight tone of the initial rose and tropical notes at the background. This perfume is NOT blind-buy safe at all. It is NOT mass appealing, as I said, it's a very, very subjective fragrance. This fragrance in my opinion is to be used as a personal scent.It is also VERY strong, so don't spray more than 4 or even being generous, keep It at 3. For me, it'd be a 9.5/10.

Tbh I don’t know why a lot of these negative reviewers buy clones. As a buyer of clones, you should know that sometimes these fragrances need days, weeks, or even months to mature to what they were meant to be. That’s part of the deal, that’s why we get these for $30, and people just seem to forget that. Also, this is not an entry level oud fragrance. If you don’t like oud or you’re not accustomed to it, you won’t like this. Now for the scent, when I first opened this it was a bit shocking, not gonna lie. I would say I have a high tolerance to these niche/non mass-appealing scents but this was definitely harsh the first week. I forgot about it for a few weeks, and when I got back to it, WOW. This stuff is beautiful. The passion fruit with the oud are the main accords I pick up and it is fantastic. The fact that this is currently rated at 3.98 is baffling. My guess is that most of the negative reviews are from people that don’t like oud and were hoping this would be their introduction. This is definitely not good to ease into appreciating oud. You have to be fond of oud to appreciate this scent, although if you do, you will love this. Tldr; This should be at least a 4.3 If you enjoy oud and sweet fruity fragrances, you will love this. If you don’t like oud, this is not a good introductory fragrance.
