A passionfruit and leather BOMB
I purchased a 50ml bottle of Maison Crivelli's Oud Maracujá just before 2023 ended, as a gift to myself.
I'd been thinking about buying it for months on end, and on a whim decided to finally shell out the €215, which comes out to about €4,50 per ml... I do end up only having to use a few sprays, hence I still gave this perfume a 6.0 for 'Value for money'.
The packaging it comes in is quite alright. I like the look of the box and the 'personal' card from Thibaut Crivelli, the creator of the brand.
The bottle to me, while being of high quality (especially the cap has a good feeling to it), is still quite bland.
This perfume opens with a passionfruit bomb, along with lots and lots of leather, which manages to cling onto my skin and clothes for the entire day, up until my shower the next morning. Whenever I let someone smell it, they most often describe the smell as something like gasoline (I just like to think they have underdeveloped noses...).
As a testament to how incredibly strong and potent this perfume is; I wore the fragrance after I purchased it, and when I met my girlfriend in the train 2 hours later, she was able to smell me THROUGH THE DOOR and locate me by the extreme scent trail this perfume left everywhere I went.
I wear this perfume in winter only, for all occasions.
My spray routine for this fragrance is as follows:
- 2 sprays behind each ear
- 1 spray on the left hand
