The Story
Why it exists.
The inspiration for Oud Maracujá came from a moment of sensory overload experienced by founder Thibaud Crivelli. While tasting passionfruit on an oud plantation, he was struck by the radical contrast between the bright, acidic fruit and the dark, animalic aroma of the wood. This fragrance is a direct olfactive photograph of that surprising, powerful collision.

The Beginning
The inspiration for Oud Maracujá came from a moment of sensory overload experienced by founder Thibaud Crivelli. While tasting passionfruit on an oud plantation, he was struck by the radical contrast between the bright, acidic fruit and the dark, animalic aroma of the wood. This fragrance is a direct olfactive photograph of that surprising, powerful collision.
Upon its release, the fragrance community was immediately divided. It was hailed as a masterpiece of modern perfumery by some and dismissed as unwearably loud by others. Its reputation for monstrous performance and its love-it-or-hate-it character cemented its status as a modern cult classic.
The Evolution
It arrives not with a whisper but a sonic boom of tangy passionfruit. This initial fruit blast doesn't fade; it's wrestled into submission by an emerging dark, leathery oud, creating a tense, thrilling heart. Hours later, the battle subsides, leaving a smoldering drydown where the ghost of the fruit lingers over a rich, complex base of leather, amber, and woods.
Cultural Impact
Oud Maracujá quickly became an icon in the 'beast mode' fragrance community, celebrated and feared for its unprecedented power and its shocking fruit-oud contrast.
The House
France · Est. 2018
Thibaud Crivelli launched his house in 2018 built on a single concept: each fragrance begins with a sensory "shock" — an unexpected moment that rewired perception. Absinthe in a Moroccan souk. Iris in a Tokyo rain. The compositions translate these epiphanies into wearable scent, bridging conceptual niche perfumery with genuine elegance. A new house, but one with a clear creative thesis.
The Creator
Jordi FernándezMaison Crivelli is built on the element of surprise. Founder Thibaud Crivelli creates fragrances inspired by unexpected, visceral moments of discovery, translating sensory shocks into unique perfumes.

This fragrance is a beautiful, chaotic collision. 'Two Weeks' by FKA twigs captures that same energy: it's seductive, dark, slightly unsettling, and absolutely unforgettable. It pulls you in with a promise of sweetness but reveals a complex, powerful, and almost dangerous depth.
