Fruity and uplifting leather

I can see why Oud Maracujá is the flagship of MC's Oud trilogy. While Oud Stallion is elegant and Oud Cadenza is sensual, Maracujá relies on an incredibly fruity opening with delicate vanilla in the drydown. It only makes sense for such a scent to be the most popular out of the three. But does it live up to the hype?

Jordi Fernández once again indulges me with great perfumery of opposites and transitions. Fruity scents aren't my thing, but I have to appreciate this gem. The passion fruit accord is fruitier than any fruit I have experienced in a perfume thus far. It feels ripe, juicy and all up your nostrils, backed by citrusy facets and a spicy punch from saffron.

It doesn't take too long for "leather seats in a new car" type of leather to show up, loud as usual with MC extraits. Meanwhile, Oud accord brings out its bold and short-lived animalic quality. This fruity, spicy, sweet, leathery and animalic stage lasts for 30 minutes, then the fruitiness steps back, allowing the sweetness of rose to dictate the pace.

This phase reminds me of Stallion, but instead of cherry nuances, Jordi opted to use vanilla. I prefer Stallion's more sophisticated approach, but I have to admit that the vanilla used in Maracujá smells gorgeous and natural. I guess this could be attributed to benzoin entering the mix so seamlessly, almost singing in unison with rose and leather.

After an hour, the slightly tart rose sweetness fades away and creamy vanilla blends with leather and patchouli. This results in a sweet, leathery drydown with a touch of chocolate. Akigalawood is very subtle, perhaps a smaller percentage was used to support the natural woodiness of benzoin, cistus absolute and patchouli.

So yes, the social media hype is actually justified for once. Oud Maracujá has a youthful scent profile and is easy to wear despite packing a punch. It's unisex, innovative with its juicy passion fruit opening and has more character than your average vanilla fragrance. Performance is great, it lasts for 10+ hours on skin with 4 hours of projection.

The best parts go missing when you most need them

This is largely on an indoors test.

When releasing sophisticated fragrances, it nevertheless remains a priority to retain some wearability. This is one thing that Opus XV - King Blue did wrong - it built excessively around the animalic assam without giving people the opportunity to enjoy the better parts of the scent. At first, it may appear that this is one thing Maison Crivelli did right - balancing the wearable and unwearable parts. But the deeper we go into this scent, the less I tend to agree with the statement.

Oud Maracujá opens with a very aggressive, barnyardy-smoky Eastern leather. I say leather because the accords list it as leather - I smelled this and naturally thought it was oud. My initial impressions upon first spray were pretty negative, wondering "where's the fruit!?" But upon first sniff up-close, you can notice the fruit - clearly tropical fruity, and it's prominent enough to the point where it's a clear part of the heart notes. The opening barnyardy-smoky accords largely fade away. Within 15 minutes the main thing you are smelling is the dominant passionfruit note flanked by a tame leather & a supporting smoke accord. In contrast to many other reviews, I get zero rose (actually zero) and I don't get any saffron either.

But all nice things come to an end. The more time you give it, the more the passionfruit note dies off, leaving mainly a smoky leather accord. This is the downfall of Oud Maracuja. In aggregate, while the blend quality is very high and doesn't have anything screechy like the synthetic saffron/calone notes I've smelled in many releases this year, it's the overt reliance on the leather tones that takes away from what this scent could've been.

In terms of scent profile, the uniqueness is a question of perspective. This could very well be a new-age take of Tuscan Leather Eau de Parfum (which has been duped to bits), it similarly might offer accord resemblance to Milano (albeit there are no hints of the Erba Pura scent profile). Realistically, tropical leather isn't a contested market segment, and Maison Crivelli will for the moment basically enjoy a monopoly. But assessing the scent off the peak parts of the profile may be inaccurate, as the tropical fruity tones do die off unlike most scents in the Tuscan Leather atmosphere.

Closing impressions - performance on this is a little bit lackluster. The opening is strong, but not nuclear. It appears to latch onto skin (minimum 10h longevity), but not emit much without a higher body temperature. Value is good-to-strong by virtue of this Extrait being priced in 50ml at the same price as most brands now sell their general lines. One thing some (incl. myself) will love is that this was previously a Harrods exclusive and as a result, it's not a popular scent since PR product is ~zero.

A certified contender for niche release of the year, but unlikely to claim top spot.

OUD MARACUJÁ (MAISON CRIVELLI)

Oud Maracujá from Maison Crivelli French House of Haute Luxury Niche Perfumery is a Unisex Extrait De Parfum Fruity Woody Resinous Leather. This fragrance launched in 2023; and the nose behind this fragrance is Jordi Fernández.
Perfume has a delicious fruity outing, with emphasis on a passion fruit that, although artificial, is quite photorealistic, with its well-known contradictory tropical facet: sour and sweet at the same time. A saffron already brings the nuance of leather... a molasses and sweet leather by this juicy passion fruit. A delicate very discreet rose gives a brief appearance in the fragrance. An easy perfume to please.

It doesn't take long for my favorite ingredients to arrive, balsamic resins, and here in this composition a very honest, quality synthetic oud without difficulty or challenge. An 'oud that reinforces the leathery character of this creation that is centered on leather; it would be more appropriate if it was called 'Leather Maracuja'.
A great labdanum brings a dark resinous aspect and the woody reinforcement of akigalawood which, like cypriol, is widely used in the formation of the 'oud accord in perfumery. An ambery accord of benzoin and vanilla permeates the fragrance throughout evolution.
Great Perfume with high quality ingredients with excellent performance!

The Tropical Oud

When I first got a sample, I was really blown away by the smell. I never smelled such a tropical oud/leather perfume. Of course, my first thought was « That reminds me of ombre nomade ». Yes, for me this is the equal brother of Ombre Nomade , but this is more than just taking off the raspberry and replace it by the passion fruit.

I want to focus on Oud Maracujá . There is no soft or fruity opening, it’s a strong oud-passion fruit combo from start to end. The perfume is quite linear, it towns down a little bit on the dry down but this fits exactly the scent profil.

My opinion: If you want something new, a new experience, and you have the budget, I can only recommend to get it, this is such a well done perfume. Plus, the performance is nuclear; 4-5 days on clothes easily and you have a nice sillage through the day.

The easygoing yunger brother of Ombre Nomade

This is my first review,

I've always been a fan of Ombre Nomade, but the price and the sheer quantity of that beast deterred me from ever buying it, even in the grey market. So i cherished with all my heart a small 2ml sample and once in a while i'd put it on and appreciate the magnificent work that this fragrance is.

One day i was walking through the shopping mall and came across Oud Maracuja and OH BOY.
As soon as i smelt it i was like "What the heck?! This is a more "fruity", smooth Ombre Nomade!"
I was captured, i sprayed it on my wrist and kept the tester strip, so i could analyze and compare the two fragrances once at home.

Oud Maracuja starts with this juicy, tart, almost overripe Passion Fruit accompanied by a small presence of rose, but then comes a kick from the back, this OUD, a leathery, a bit barnyard, believable oud (because it's actually an accord) that creates this amazing contrast between playfull, fruity, and dirty, dark. This contrast, makes the fragrance so captivating, layered and joyful.

I've found it, i've found the fragrance that filled the hole created by Ombre Nomade.
Everytime i spray it, it just makes me so happy. I always imagine beeing at a party at night on a beach, in a tropical place, where everybody's dancing around a bonfire,

Just having a good time.
