"Smells like the men in Saudi Arabia"
Well, the benevolently lurid statement in the title probably has sufficient justification.

The fragrance draws you into the deep darkness of Saudi Arabia's oud abysses.

But there is hope!

A tangy passion fruit saves you.

But you don't want to be saved, you want passion fruit and oud to become friends and live in perfect harmony with each other.

Here you have it: Oud MaracuJa by Maison Crivelli.

After spraying the fragrance on for the first time, I was primarily struck by the planet-wide sillage of the scent.
Even my sister smelled it 4 meters away from me and commented directly: "Smells like the men in Saudi Arabia all the time!"

The analogy to the oud, which is easily perceptible at the beginning, is clear here.

The oud is real, totally nose-pleasing oud, which climbs sublimely up your nasal septum towards the most sensual part of your brain, leaving no stinging kicks in its wake.

Accompanying it on this journey is soft passion fruit, which comes across as totally unsynthesized and unexaggerated; nothing pungent, tropical, rather natural, dark and wintry.

Both main ingredients appear beautifully rounded and are totally in harmony; in the course of the fragrance, the oud pushes the passion fruit into the background on my skin.

Here we have a beautiful companion for the colder days of the year and especially for the mysterious man who likes to enter the stage of everyday life in black or dark tones.

For lovers of: Xerjoff Alexandria II, Xerjoff Tony Iommi Monkey Special and the like, as if tailor-made and for everyone else a test recommendation.

Definitely imaginative and not for everyone
The Oud Maracuja basically reflects exactly what its name implies.
By and large, we get mainly oud here, as well as passion fruit.

At the beginning, it is relatively harsh for me, takes some getting used to and is also tiring. I just get something "scratchy" and dark. At the same time, you can also feel this passion fruit note. The passion fruit is definitely already active here.
Brings something fruity with it, as well as a slightly acidic note.
Saffron is subtly perceptible in the background.

Over time, it becomes a little more pleasant for me personally.
The passion fruit loses some of its acidity and becomes more fruity. This "scratchiness" is thus pushed away somewhat.

Unfortunately, the tide turns for me later on and it becomes scratchier again (for me) and the fruitiness slowly recedes.
Slightly sweetish aspects and leather join in.

Overall, a very special fragrance. It's just something different and I like that.
Unfortunately, it's not for me personally.

Recklessness must be punished
Over time, I have become relatively fearless when it comes to testing new, unknown fragrances. Admittedly, I have little to no idea about oud. I know how it is extracted and roughly what it can smell like, but apart from "Oud Stars - Alexandria II (Parfum) | XerJoff", my experience is limited. However, since I really like it and I love passion fruit, the Oud Maracujá was unavoidable.

Fortunately, it starts with a tart and very intense fruity note. The passion fruit is clearly recognizable and accompanies the fragrance through all phases, with decreasing strength. As it progresses, it comes through more and more, the final opponent of sensitive nostrils: oud. And I'll be honest: too much oud is not good for me, because the longer the fragrance lingers on the skin, the more sultry the scent becomes and the more it reminds me of the much-cited "cowshed". Not because of its proximity to manure or anything similar, but it is clearly in the direction of muddy, damp animalism. The mixture of both components is certainly not uninteresting, but due to its vehemence, Oud Maracujá gives me a headache after quite some time - mind you, with just one! Spray on the wrist. Even after showering, the smell is still perceptible. It's hard to imagine what happens when you completely fog yourself up...

To quote a well-known advertisement from the past: If it's too strong, you're too weak. I confess: I underestimated this composition and take the headache like a man. This is not my world (yet). You have been warned.

Is it the perfect fragrance? A pseudo-scientific observation.
I'll have to write a longer review after all...

There are of course only subjective opinions on my question in the title, but there are also some objective criteria that I would like to list here:

Are you being noticed?
Yes!

How long are you noticed?
Over 18 hours, easily...

Do the people around you perceive you positively or negatively?
70% positive, 20% undecided 10% negative, but then only on the skin, not in the air!

The comments ranged from:
"Wow, you can really smell it right up to here", to "oh fresh" and "old what is that?" to "sexy" to "it's too strong for me".

So much for the "objective" criteria, now for the subjective ones.

I don't like oud. I've been carrying this belief around with me for a very long time now, like a dirty, old shoe, a broken shoe that I'm not yet ready to replace with a new one.

But only he, perhaps the best scent ever, was able to elicit from me how wrong I was.
In short, I was miles off the mark. When I held my olfactory bulb up to this miracle product for the first time and sniffed it, I knew immediately (excuse my French):
" That's awesome. That's different. It's crazy, it's got oud in it and it's fucking awesome."

And so a love was born, for you dear fragrance and also for the unjustly hated oud.

For me, it starts off very fruity, then turns woody and becomes a seductive, woody, slightly sweet/fruity combination that is second to none. The perfect oud fragrance for beginners, it really lasts forever and simply smells seductive, beautiful and elegant at the same time.

Attention: This stuff is really nuclear. 3 sprays MAX!

So, hold your nose and have a nice day.

Is the hype justified?
Due to the positive reviews on YouTube and here, I ordered the Oud maracuja and the Oud stallion from the souk full of anticipation. Fast delivery and I'm looking forward to wearing the fragrance the same evening.

First of all, I've only smelled oud fragrances like Widian - London or Xerjoff - Alexandria II and otherwise haven't had much to do with oud. I find these fragrances outstanding.
So a spray in the air: I am immediately surrounded by pure animalism, as I imagine oud to be, and I have to say that it really repelled me.
So again on the skin; maybe it will give me a different scent.
But no, I only smell this pungent animalic scent.
So I wait a day and try it on my skin again.
And indeed, now I smell the partly sour maracuja. But the oud is present again. I wait and wait for the subsequent fragrance, which is supposed to be so smooth according to other reviews But nothing changes. The oud remains very present and repels me, so I really have to wash the fragrance off.
I honestly don't understand the hype, but I can guess why oud lovers might appreciate this fragrance.

All in all, very disappointed. H/S very good, can still be smelled even after washing off.

Opens aggressive, barnyardy-smoky. Tropical fruity heart & leather-driven drydown. Could be the new age Tuscan Leather. ~0 rose/saffron.

To me it's part Hibiscus Mahajad and a faint Xerjoff MTW. Very good Sillage and Projection. Easy to wear. Smells like you know it.

Very nice rose oud - similar style to ombré nomad but with a big passion fruit up top. An easy wear scent.

Tangy, sweet, rich passion fruit with leathery oud. Dry down great, longevity great, sillage great. Fantastic fragrance, beats LV Ombré Nomade for me.
