Bittersweet leather

Cuir InfraRouge is one of the more complex fragrances in the leather-raspberry category. It's bitter, fruity and animalic, but also sweet, comforting and of course leathery. I have to applaud its boldness, despite preferring Jordi's more elegant blends, e.g. Oud Stallion.

The opening is a mixture of sour citruses, spices and suede, giving off a sexy animalic tinge. This is balanced by a jammy raspberry note which brings some sweetness, while cinnamon and orris make the leather smoother with their powdery, almost dusty nuances.

Similarly to other MC extraits, Cuir InfraRouge's loud projection calms down after an hour and starts settling into a skin scent. I get dry woodiness from cedar and gentle oud accord, accompanied by sweet facets of tonka bean and vanilla. The deep drydown reminds me of London Extrait de Parfum and Emporio Armani - Stronger With You Leather.

I've found the claims about longevity to be greatly exaggerated. Maybe it's because vanilla doesn't work too well with my skin chemistry, but I get 8 hours at best. While that's decent, it's nowhere as potent as Oud Maracujá or Oud Cadenza.

All things considered, it's a well-executed blend. Despite the sweet and "generic" drydown, the first hour will satisfy leather and citrus afficionados alike. It's bold enough to stand out and keep the wearer's attention, but the fruitiness makes it very approachable.

My next favorite Crivelli? Yes, I think this could be…

Alright, Cuir InfraRouge, this fragrance is a RIDE, and I’m ready to explain what it’s all about…

Being a Selfridges exclusive right now and me living in Alaska, USA. I found this was quite hard for me to acquire, but after finding a 5ml piccolo on eBay I jumped on it before it disappeared.
Understanding this profile requires some context of Crivelli’s “Defining Adventure”: Created out of the passion for Thibaud Crivelli’s love of leather, he combines this note with memories of nights spent with friends at night clubs over his favorite cocktail, a Raspberry Daiquiri.
And I think he and Jordi translated these themes well into a very punchy, clubbing/night-out profile fragrance.
Of course, as per usual with all the Crivelli extraits, the longevity of this scent persisted well over the 15hr mark on skin (I usually measure 17-18 on me), with a very strong sillage for the first 4-5hrs – after which it seems to linger around conversation distance, then dies to just above skin (maybe 3-4”). And of course it’s Crivelli prices, at 247€/50ml if I recall, but I’ve never needed more than one spray of any of the extraits so, it would go quite far.

As to the profile itself? An opening thick of a synthetic raspberry note hits my nose, it’s intense (like very intense), and it fills the space around you. Following just behind the raspberry, a spicy-citric-animalistic aroma begins to slither into the mix. Cinnamon, mandarin, touches of bergamot, and a ‘clean’ animalistic note – combine into this warm “fuzzy” musky aroma (no fecal facets in this at all), that oscillates between the warmth of spices and the brighter effervescent citruses. This profile is quite odd in the opening I’ll admit, there’s a quality to it that kinda makes me shudder in delight (reminding me of Patchouli Magnetik). The juxtaposition of the stark synthetic fruitiness to these spicy-woody-animalistic notes, is a little eyebrow raising. This sharp fruitiness does taper down to a deep red raspberry note, but the first 1hr or so is very juicy and mouthwatering (read: synthetic).
The “signature” (if you want to call it thus) Crivelli Oud accord is present in the base of this, it’s not as overwhelmingly pungent as Oud Maracujá in construction, but it’s not completely vapid from the aroma either. It’s mixed with the balsamic notes of the Tonka and gourmand notes of the vanilla beside it quite well, softening the Oud out making it very palatable.
Now the leather note… Yes, it’s very much a suede leather note, a little fuzzy, supple, and a light touch of orris root adds just a smidge of powdery earthiness to the dry down, making the leather smell very soft and plush. The leather, spice, and animalistic notes are really–really seducing in my opinion, it screams “smell me”.
The far–far dry down, I mainly smell lingering orris powder, vanilla, and some balsamic woodiness. A little simplistic, but at this point it’s quite literally the next day, you’re going to shower anyway, and put something new on.

This scent is, very Crivelli and very Jordi Fernández. If you’ve sampled either of their work or collaborations and didn’t like them? I’d find it hard to say you’d like this Crivelli/Fernández collab.
But if you’re wanting a fruity-Oud, and a strangely… seductively animalistic profile? Give this a sample if you can! It’s hard to acquire right now or sample if you’re outside the UK, at least until it’s made available on their website. Which, I feel will happen eventually? The previously released Oud Stallion, was a Harrods Exclusive on launch, but was later brought to their [Crivelli’s] web store.
I managed to get a BNIB manufacture 5ml on eBay for around USD$46, to me? Well worth it. This scent fits between The Oud Trilogy, but really it should’ve been released as part of the Collection Particulière, it’s [[just]] special enough to me that – I wouldn’t have blinked twice had it been announced as such.
I really–really want a full bottle of this…

Cuir Infrarouge: Widian London on steroids? I My impression and direct comparison

As a Selfridges Exclusive, it wasn't easy to get hold of the "Cuir InfraRouge | Maison Crivelli", but it was worth it! As everyone here knows, the "London | Widian / AJ Arabia" is a masterpiece and remains the undisputed leader in its domain. So I was all the more surprised at how well Maison Crivelli took this composition as a basis, but took it in a completely different direction.

How do I perceive the "Cuir InfraRouge | Maison Crivelli"?
- The "Cuir InfraRouge | Maison Crivelli" starts with a sweet, fruity, fresh raspberry note that is really very convincing and puts a smile on your face. It is a voluminous, sweet raspberry that is carried by light citrus and fruitiness. Yes, at this stage, "London | Widian / AJ Arabia" and "Cuir InfraRouge | Maison Crivelli" smell slightly similar because of the raspberry, but in "London | Widian / AJ Arabia" the raspberry is fruity, but somehow dry-fruity and only marginally sweet.... and not as fruity-sweet as in "Cuir InfraRouge | Maison Crivelli".

- Then comes a beautiful, present leather accord, which is relatively well blended with woody accords and the cinnamon; neither the leather, nor the woody accords, nor the cinnamon predominate, but they are all in harmony; yes, of course, the leather remains the star of the heart note, but does not stand alone on the pedestal as in "London | Widian / AJ Arabia". The "London | Widian / AJ Arabia" is far more leathery and dry in this phase - which is not a bad thing, it is simply different. Here, the "Cuir InfraRouge | Maison Crivelli" is sweeter, fruitier, woodier, somehow fuller.

- ...in the drydown, the typical Maison Crivelli oud accord joins in, which, together with the vanilla and tonka bean, goes into a rather sweet, leathery drydown... yes, the "Cuir InfraRouge | Maison Crivelli" remains sweet, leathery and fruity until the end, whereas the "London | Widian / AJ Arabia" continues the fruity raspberry with a rather dry leather accord until the end, yes, a little amber and vanilla are added, but much less strongly dosed. Is one or the other better? Absolutely not, the fragrances are simply - fortunately - designed differently and each fragrance does what it is supposed to do brilliantly in its own way. They are simply different fragrances.

- The longevity of "Cuir InfraRouge | Maison Crivelli" is bombastic, much stronger than that of "London | Widian / AJ Arabia" and the sillage is also much stronger. This should not be taken as a sign of quality, but it is a fact that the performance goes one better.

Yes, I understand that it is often compared to "London | Widian / AJ Arabia" because of the leather and the raspberry, but the fragrances are interpreted completely differently apart from the listed notes and main players. Both masterpieces, but in the domain they are in; test accordingly and decide which one suits you better.

Very helpful Review 8

I'm so thankful to have this incredible scent

I was lucky enough to have friends of mine in London visiting their son and I asked them to kindly bring me a bottle of Maison Crivelli.

The scent is a killer.

Admittedly not an unknown DNA
But still independent and outstanding.
With the first spray, the leather hits you in the face. The raspberry is equally present
It is then slowed down a little by the iris and the wild ride continues with cedarwood until leather and oud with a hint of vanilla present themselves again in full splendor and take over.

Cuir InfraRouge is a "here I am" and by no means a quiet candidate.
The associations with London and Tuscan leather are justified, but it confidently goes its own way.
A very successful composition.
