Oud Maracujá

Maison Crivelli – Oud Maracujá: A Controlled Clash of Fermentation, Fruit Acidity, and Animalic Depth Oud Maracujá positions itself as a paradoxical construct within contemporary niche perfumery: a composition that juxtaposes the volatile brightness of tropical acidity against the dense, phenolic gravity of oud. Unlike conventional oud-fruity hybrids that rely on sweetness as a bridging mechanism, this fragrance leans into contrast—almost antagonistically. The opening is immediately striking. A sharp, tart passion fruit accord dominates, exhibiting a highly diffusive and slightly sulfuric edge that evokes the natural fermentation facets of maracujá. There is a volatile, almost effervescent lift here—suggestive of short-lived top molecules with high vapor pressure—giving the fragrance an initial projection that feels radiant yet unstable. This is not a “juicy” fruit in the designer sense; it is acidic, textured, and borderline abrasive. As the composition transitions into the heart, the oud begins to assert itself—not as a smooth, polished woody base, but as a textured, medicinal, and faintly animalic presence. The interaction between the residual acidity of the fruit accord and the phenolic compounds typical of oud creates a tension that is both dissonant and compelling. There are subtle leathery undertones, possibly supported by saffron-like nuances, adding dryness and a slightly metallic warmth to the core. The drydown is where the fragrance stabilizes. The fruit recedes, leaving behind a darker, resinous structure. Here, the oud becomes more legible—less sharp, more integrated—supported by ambery and musky elements that extend longevity significantly. The overall evaporation curve suggests a strong base concentration with persistent low-volatility molecules anchoring the composition for hours. Performance-wise, Oud Maracujá is assertive. Projection in the early phase is expansive, with a noticeable scent trail, while longevity extends well into the double-digit hour range on skin. This is not a fragrance that blends quietly into the background; it occupies space, both physically and perceptually. From a usage perspective, this is far from a safe daily wear. It thrives in controlled environments—cooler weather, evening settings, and contexts where olfactory presence is intentional rather than incidental. The scent profile may challenge untrained noses, particularly due to its acidic-animalic interplay, but for those familiar with niche structures, it offers a distinctive and intellectually engaging experience. In summary, Oud Maracujá is less about harmony and more about engineered contrast. It does not attempt to soften oud for mass appeal; instead, it reframes it through an unconventional lens of tropical acidity and controlled fermentation. The result is a fragrance that feels both modern and provocatively unbalanced—in a way that is clearly deliberate.

EN Maison Crivelli Oud Maracujá Oud Maracujá is the scent of a humid tropical evening, where ripe passion fruit meets the dark, heated depth of oud. There is no simple fruity sweetness here: the passion fruit sounds bright, juicy, daring, like a flash of light against dense woods, leather, and resins. Saffron gives the composition a spicy tension, rose makes it more noble, while oud, patchouli, benzoin, and amber gather everything into a deep, sensual trail. The leathery nuance adds strength and physicality, turning the fragrance into something richer, darker, and more magnetic. With its 32% concentration, this extrait de parfum unfolds fully and holds around itself a cloud of mysterious seduction for a long time. It is not meant to please everyone: it will be truly appreciated by those who love bold, deep, and sensual compositions. It is a fragrance of contrasts: tropical light and Eastern shadow, juicy fruit and warm leather, sweetness and danger. Oud Maracujá smells daring, luxurious, and hypnotic. ________ IT Maison Crivelli Oud Maracujá Oud Maracujá è il profumo di una sera tropicale umida, dove il frutto della passione maturo incontra la profondità scura e calda dell’oud. Qui non c’è una semplice dolcezza fruttata: il maracujá si esprime in modo luminoso, succoso, audace, come un lampo di luce sullo sfondo di legni densi, cuoio e resine. Lo zafferano dona alla composizione una tensione speziata, la rosa la rende più nobile, mentre oud, patchouli, benzoino e ambra raccolgono tutto in una scia profonda e sensuale. La sfumatura cuoiata aggiunge forza e fisicità, trasformando il profumo in qualcosa di più ricco, scuro e magnetico. Con una concentrazione del 32%, questo extrait de parfum si apre in tutta la sua pienezza e trattiene a lungo intorno a sé una nube di seduzione misteriosa. Non è pensato per piacere a tutti: sarà apprezzato davvero da chi ama composizioni audaci, profonde e sensuali. È un profumo di contrasti: luce tropicale e ombra orientale, frutto succoso e cuoio caldo, dolcezza e pericolo. Oud Maracujá profuma di audacia, lusso e ipnosi.

This is my first review here on Fragrantica, and it had to be of this fragrance. I don't know if I'll ever do another so here we go: Oud Maracuja was the best olfactory experience I've ever had. I have only sampled about 200-250 fragrances (I own 20). This fragrance was, of course, love at first sniff. I aspire to have a large collection one day, but I assure anyone reading this review that THIS scent will always be in my collection. It opens up with a strong, almost gasoline-like, fruity accord. I have bad allergies and one of the many things that triggers them is car/diesel exhaust. I get that note in the opening but it doesn't trigger my brain at all. And I appreciate it so much. Its like I get to experience something that's a guilty pleasure without any of the drawbacks. It changes, quite long into the opening, into a sticky, syrupy wood. This is when body heat is pumping this scent up to it's largest scent bubble capacity. Off my skin the sillage is massive! I've yet to wear it and not get a mention of it, save for compliments. There have been times I've sprayed the back or sides of the neck and/or forearms and it still gives off large wafty reminders - and in high frequency. The drydown feels like the woods, leathers, resins, and florals were working really hard all day. They become a nice woody, spicy skin scent that lasts, on me, another couple of hours -- weeks longer on jackets and sweater. The leather is worn, the wood is dry from the wetness of the fruits. The florals are muddled. It turns into an intimate dry woody amber. In my opinion, the experience is worth everything. I want to remind anyone still reading , this is my signature scent for the foreseeable future, and to-date, my most beloved sniff. I challenge anyone new or OG to test it out - and even if you don't care for it, it warms my heart to know it reached another nose. 10.0/10

This is a real badass fragrance, ladies and gentlemen. This is what an oud-based perfume should finally smell like, actually good unlike all those stinky fragrances that are trendy just because they have Amouage or similar names slapped on them. Those perfumes might work for Arabs, but not for us Europeans or Westerners. Here we’re looking at a masterpiece. Longevity is absolutely monstrous. This thing just doesn’t die. One spray in the morning and it’s still there late at night, solid and present, without ever collapsing into something flat or synthetic. It evolves slowly, confidently, like a high-quality extrait should. Projection is monster-level too, but never vulgar. It pushes hard in the first hours, people will notice it but it never turns into an obnoxious scent cloud. It radiates with authority, not chaos. This is the kind of projection that says “I know what I’m wearing” rather than “look at me.” Overall, performance-wise, this sits comfortably in the top tier: nuclear when it needs to be, controlled when it matters. Exactly how a serious oud fragrance should behave. Finally, an oud that doesn’t stink. No barnyard funk, no medicinal rot, no forced “authenticity.” Just a refined, wearable oud that actually smells good. Unlike most of the trendy oud fragrances out there, praised only because a top-tier brand name is printed on the bottle. Strip away the logo and you’re left with a mess. Here, instead, the quality speaks for itself. 10/10

Not for the weak, but i can say as an oud hater, this was love at fist sniff!!!!!!!! im no expert but i wouldn't be surprised if the oud here is synthetic. The passion fruit note is not super obvious but you can definitely notice it. for someone who gets very disappointed when fragrances specially expensive fragrances dont last long, this might last too long lol. one good way for me to test performance is too wear it to bed and see if i can still smell it when i wake up after tossing and turning in bed all night. most fragrances that actually last long are no longer there when i wake up, but this thing right here, i woke up, showered, and after a 10+ hours of hard sweaty work i could still catch whiffs of this, some 16+ hours and a shower later!!!!!!!!! insane performance. Update: I kept this review up just to remind myself how much and how quickly your tastes can change. I still think this is a great smelling fragrance (as a fragrance lover) but to the average person this kinda stinks tbh. I wrote my review off of a sample and I did went and bought a bottle right after. A bottle that I never ended up opening and ended up reselling for a loss. I realized, I was never going to wear this fragrance!!!!

Codigo de lote PJE1 comprado a finales de 2025.. Puedo asegurar que han castrado la formula original, si tienes oportunidad de comprar los primeros lotes hazlo y no pierdas el tiempo con los actuales. Hace 1 año compré 1 ml por el hype que tenía esto y en efecto, pude confirmar el porque el éxito de OM. 1 ml me duró aproximadamente 3 puestas y en cada puesta me duraba todo el día y proyectando como bestia además que podía distinguir un cuero cremoso junto con el dulzor de la maracuja, Valía completamente la pena conseguir una botella. Ahora que tengo la de 100 ml me llevo la sorpresa que el jugo está diluido y la calidad es tan sintética. Huele como a un cuero áspero con maracuja identico a lo que puedes encontrar azure aoud su inspiración arebe y que encuentras a una decima de precio y el rendimiento es una broma, lo he estado probando estos dias y cada vez tengo ponerme mas atomizaciones para lograr algún efecto. 5 atomizaciones durarán aproximadamente 3 horas ya sea en ropa o piel, apartir de la cuarta hora se vuelve un aroma íntimo y a ras de de piel. De verdad no tires tu dinero con los nuevos lotes

Addicting tropical oud. Smooth is the middle name of Oud Maracuja. All the notes blend gently and perfectly in unison without any rough edges or sudden contrasts. The opening starts with a juicy blast of passionfruit accord, which gets less "juicy" as the scent develops, but remains throughout the dry down. After 10 minutes from spraying, a slightly bitter yet very smooth and refined oud accord takes a permanent background spot in the composition. The best part: As the scent further develops, labdanum and benzoin sneak in, the oud starts to get smoky, leading to a complex burnt match/incense cone aroma with just a hint of passionfruit still lingering around until it gradually fades in the very late stages of the drydown. I have to add something: This is nowhere near similar to Ombre Nomade. The latter takes a dry dark path with the fruity note/oud/incense, while Oud Maracuja takes an uplifting ritualistic tropical path. Totally different directions, not to mention that the passionfruit alone makes Oud Maracuja unique and different to begin with. 10/10 Soundtrack: Toto - Africa

I bought the dupes as I wanted to save money but finally succumbed to the OG and wow, this is a stunning fragrance- it’s high quality and the dry down is perfect for me as it still retains the passion fruit scent. It is not a scent for the faint hearted but if you love a fragrance that announces it’s coming from the next room then this is for you. I love to pair this with Hibiscus mahajah as they are meant for each other and pair so well. I wore this the other day and 3 older ladies (70s) made a big fuss of me in line at the post office. I know it’s been duped to death but the OG is smooth whereas the dupes are a bit rough. A 50ml bottle lasts forever as 3 sprays and you’re good for the day, as others have commented the longevity is 12+ hours and lasts days on clothing, it is overpriced but I got 50ml in the Black Friday sale for £166 so I am pleased with that. I purchased the Hibiscus Mahajad from Maison Crivelli and they gave me 5 free samples plus the packaging is. Phenomenal but ive saved £54 on the RRP buying it from UK based Just My Look.

Oud Maracuja isn’t a perfume it is celestial celebration in vapour form. The opening is a golden offering: juicy passionfruit, blackcurrants and berries burst like sunlit jewels on a divinely embossed platter. Turkish rose, heavier and more present than typical rose fragrances, unfurls across the feast, while saffron adds a spicy flicker to the party. For me the fruit, floral and fire come together perfectly, and it all sits on an ornate and commanding table of oud, appropriately referred to as wood of the gods. Striking a balance between woody and resinous. Like all great feasts, Oud Maracuja lasts well into the late hours, and it is not shy, openly tempting those to revel in its radiance. In short; this is incredible. Fruit and fire, wood and smoke, sweet and sacred, all dance as one. It is sensual without being vulgar. It is the perfect fragrance for special occasions, formal events, date nights... or when you simply want to activate the god/goddess within.

This is one of the strongest fragrances I’ve ever experienced. I’m not even a big fan of oud, and looking at the notes I really shouldn’t like this at all, but somehow, it’s incredible and has worked its way into my most-wanted list. I only had a 1ml sample, which I used sparingly over a few months. It’s been empty for over six months now, yet when I take the cap off the decant, I can still smell it as if it was just sprayed. Just 1–3 sprays lasts well over 10 hours, with heavy projection for the first few. You’ll still catch it on clothes days later. The quality and blending are next level. I’ve tried several dupes, and I can say this confidently: nobody is replicating this masterpiece. Nobody!!! That said, it’s not something I’d wear often enough to justify a full bottle. Thankfully, genuine 5ml samples exist and given how strong this is, one will probably last me the best part of a year 😂

too strong, too heavy, eternal-lasting with nuclear projection - this is exactly how i want extracts to appear. absolutely stunning and fabuluos oud i've never experienced before.. first spray is a nuclear bomb of passion-fruit mixed with a burnt oud, might be cloying for some, but i really loved that punch in my nose. over the next few hours you would smell ephemeral scent of incense, roses and acid passionfruit. BUT by the time this frag gets passive, it fades into the skin and becomes more linear starting to give off an old irish soap vibe with burnt rubber and some resin notes for me... definitely worth trying - oud is extremely beautiful in this composition and breathtakingly aces the mix with passionfruit. however, this frag appears to be a bit overpriced for me, as i won't be wearing it too often due to its heavy and all-absorbing projection

To all the people that say the new batches are weak: I have a new 2026 RAF1 batch and it’s still absolutely nuclear. After a full shift at work my coworkers could still smell me very well from a distance even though I couldn’t smell it much myself anymore. I feel like there’s a bit of a difference in smell though. This new batch is way more fruity and less leathery compared to the old ones, it also stays fruity for a longer time compared to the old batch. In the old batch the leather/oud creeped up earlier and started dominating in the drydown while the passionfruit completely disappeared. I prefer this new batch, because I feel like it’s more wearable to me now. I like the Crivelli leather/oud combo but a lot of people here in the Netherlands seem to hate it. They’re not to used to anything else that’s not Dior Sauvage, 1 Million or Invictus lol

Oud Maracuja was the first of Crivelli’s creations to come into my keeping, and glad I am that I chose it. Strong it is, and long it endures—upon the skin from morning until the night, and upon garments for many days beyond. Wherever one walks, the air follows, filled with its presence. To my sense, it leans toward the masculine, carried by sweetness of fruit, yet grounded in oud and leather that lend it balance and depth. But only when patience is given does its true nature reveal itself. After the quiet passing of half an hour, the heart of the fragrance awakens, and its real notes are made clear. For me, it belongs to the colder seasons, when the air itself invites such strength. In the heat of summer it may weigh too heavily upon the wearer. Yet in its time and place, it is a fragrance I hold in great regard. Overall 10/10.

a unique fruity oud, i haven't really smelled anything combining passionfruit and oud except for this fragrance. the sweetness and tanginess of the passionfruit makes for a really unique and well blended combination with the oud which works quite well despite the animalic quality of the oud. the passionfruit is sweet, juicy, and refreshing. the oud is a little funky, but woody and grounded. i feel that this is strong enough to wear in the colder months while also being fruity enough to wear during spring and summer (provided that you aren't overspraying this one). longevity on this is nuclear, and projection is incredibly strong. definitely not for everyone (as is the case with most oud fragrances), although definitely worth checking out even if you don't like oud. definitely deserves all the hype it has received.

I've never been much of an oud enthusiast, but this fragrance has a magnetic pull that keeps drawing me back. The scent itself is captivating. That said, it's not a daily driver for me, so after sampling it, I opted for a 10ml decant to savor it on special cool weather occasions. Performance-wise, it falls short of the "beast mode" legend others rave about. I've seen mention of reformulations, but I can't compare it to earlier batches. On my skin, it delivers a solid 8–10 hours of wear, which is respectable, though it doesn't linger into the next morning like some of my heavier-hitting favorites. Projection starts strong but tapers off after 4–6 hours, settling into a more intimate sillage. Still, none of that detracts from how much I enjoy it. Highly recommended for those willing to dip a toe into the genre.

Well what can be said about Oud Maracujá that hasn't already been said about your mom? It's incredibly thick, juicy and super seductive. In all seriousness though, this stuff is fantastic. A classic rose/oud combo with a creative passion fruit note that surprisingly last for ages. This is Ombre Nomads artsy more outgoing and creative brother. Yes the comparisons are warranted. Are they the exact same? No way. Oud Maracujá is more tropical and sour due to the passion fruit accord. It also contains less incense and smokiness. The leather, rose and oud however are very similar to ON. The performance on this makes Godzilla look like a kitten with asthma. It is just straight up insane. If you put on more than two sprays, people on tbe ISS will smell you. It also last for days on skin. This deserves the hype.

"Oud Maracuja is a strictly cold-weather scent" I don't understand where that idea comes from at all. The back of the box sets the tone perfectly: "maracujá sun, crocodile heat, amber mangroves, fading light. A copper-colored hut, rambutan rose, vanilla darkness. A fiery, woody ritual! Oud passion." That's not winter darkness, it's pure tropical fire. Picture a breezy sunny day with low humidity, sipping fruity cocktails, unbuttoned white shirt or flowy sun dress. This scent gives a loud and fun vibe over cozy hibernation. The opening is intoxicating and addictive, though piercing enough to cause nose fatigue if you sniff right after spraying, so give it space. Dry down transforms into an amazing oud that's rich without veering skanky, making it versatile for those sun-soaked moments. 9/10 for me.

I’ll be honest: at first, I didn't like it. But Oud Maracuja don’t ask for permission he will stay in your head regardless. I remember being trapped in a crowded place, and catching this perfume scent trail that flickered on and off as the crowd shifted without knowing where the source was. it was this “phantom” experience that made me want to retry it. That second encounter was a revelation. I could smell the electric passionfruit opening that eventually surrenders to an oud/leather base with a massive lingering presence that just refuses to be ignored. The price point is high, but when one/two sprays are a statement and three are a public hazard, a 50ml bottle becomes a long investment. In a curated collection, this is the power of a scent that knows its own strength.

I really love tropical fragrances, and I’ve smelled a lot of perfumes in that exact category (Nostos, God of Fire, Passion Proud, Mango Macumba, Mango Aoud). Somehow, I kept coming back to Oud Maracuja, but the reviews were always so divided... I finally decided to do a blind buy, and honestly, I am so pleasantly surprised. The oud (true, it's not real oud) is very smooth and doesn't feel synthetic at all. The passion fruit is beautifully tart and tangy with a sweet aftertaste, and the saffron adds a subtle, pleasant metallic sharpness. In my opinion, it’s definitely wearable in the summer, especially for evenings (one spray is more than enough). Another interesting thing-Bangkok Paradise by MITH Bangkok strongly reminds me of Oud Maracuja, just without the oud.

I’m a hater of oud, which makes me laugh because it’s strong here. This isn’t a scent I’d normally have gone for or sampled, but I’m so glad I did. Just like Hibiscus Mahajad, this scent fascinates me because I find it incredibly addictive! I LOVE the passionfruit note. The opening especially is divine! It’s sweet and a little fresh. Paired with the oud it gives the fragrance a deep, dark and smooth sexiness. I do find the passionfruit note still sticks around on my skin for a good 8-10 hours, before leaving the just the oud behind. This is such a long lasting fragrance and worth every penny. Definitely unisex, although I’d completely disagree with the votes and say it leans slightly more feminine to my nose. I adore it and had to buy it immediately!
