SOTD: Oud Maracujá — A Non-Crowd-Pleasing Masterpiece!

6h (edited) • SOTD 🍊

Today, since I'm staying home, I'm wearing a fragrance that I think smells incredible, even if it's not a crowd-pleaser around me: Oud Maracujá by Maison Crivelli.

This is a beautiful, divisive scent that blends deep, rich Oud with bright, exotic Passion Fruit, known as Maracujá in Portuguese. The name literally describes the experience: eating passion fruit in an oud forest!

Since so many people are curious about the name, and as a native Brazilian Portuguese speaker, I recorded how it sounds in the attached file. For those curious, Maracujá is pronounced roughly like: mah-rah-koo-ZHAH (That 'j' sounds like the 's' in the word measure or vision).

I love this unique contrast!

What is your favorite unique or "challenging" fragrance that you save for days when you don't need to worry about pleasing anyone else?
