Tropical intensity wrapped in luxury. Oud Maracujá by Maison Crivelli is a bold, seductive Extrait de Parfum where vibrant passionfruit, luminous Turkish rose and saffron meet precious oud, rich leather, glowing amber and creamy vanilla. Exotic sophistication with irresistible presence, composed by perfumer Jordi Fernandez.

The Story

The house frames Oud Maracujá as a passion fruit tasting in remote oud wood forests: the richness of oud set against bright, exotic fruit, in a thirst-quenching fruity oud that is unisex and contemporary in design. Vibrant passionfruit wrapped around refined oud, rather than buried by it, makes it one of the most unusual openings in modern perfumery.

How It Smells

Opening
Bold and exotic: a radiant burst of passionfruit and saffron over Turkish rose, juicy, tart and sparkling, like fresh tropical fruit meeting warm spice and velvet petals.

Heart
Darker and richer as oud, benzoin and Indonesian patchouli leaf rise through the fruity brightness, a luxurious contrast between tropical sweetness and smoky woody depth.

Dry Down
Warm and sensual, a creamy resinous base of leather, akigalawood, amber vanilla and labdanum with a glowing sweetness.

Old-world French polish, effortlessly worn. The Original is the iconic fragrance that launched the legend of Eight & Bob: a timeless scent of effortless sophistication and refined masculinity, blending citrus freshness, spice and smooth woods into a classic signature. Polished, versatile and undeniably upscale, it is luxury in its most understated form.

The Story

The Original is inspired by the private composition of Albert Fouquet, a perfume enthusiast of elite French society in the early twentieth century who blended scents for his own use. In 1937, on the Riviera, an American student, the young John F. Kennedy, admired his scent and asked for a sample; he later wrote back for eight more, plus one for "Bob", and the bottles became known as Eight & Bob.

How It Smells

Opening
Crisp citrus freshness and aromatic herbs, with cardamom and pink pepper, give an immediately polished feeling.

Heart
Soft spice, violet leaves, labdanum and dried wood emerge, warm and refined without becoming heavy.

Smooth sandalwood, vetiver and amber settle into a warm, composed masculinity. Think of a freshly pressed white shirt, luxury leather seats, a tailored jacket and old-money confidence.
