Garden Oud – Our Rendition of Oud Maracuja by Maison Crivelli

This fragrance is composed of a rich and luxurious blend, where the top notes offer a fresh, fruity, and exotic opening, followed by a deep, complex heart of woody, spicy, and resinous notes. The base provides a warm, leathery, and amber-rich foundation. Here’s a detailed breakdown:

Top Notes: Passionfruit, Fruity Notes, Saffron, and Turkish Rose

• Passionfruit: Brings a tropical, tangy, and slightly sweet burst, evoking a vibrant and exotic feel that captures attention immediately.
• Fruity Notes: These likely add to the brightness of the opening, with a variety of juicy fruits such as citrus, berries, or peaches, enhancing the fresh and lively nature of the fragrance.
• Saffron: Adds a warm, spicy, and slightly leathery note with a touch of bitterness and richness, giving the fragrance a sophisticated and luxurious feel.
• Turkish Rose: Known for its rich, floral, slightly fruity, and sweet character, Turkish Rose adds depth and elegance, with an underlying hint of spice.

Middle Notes: Agarwood (Oud), Indonesian Patchouli Leaf, and Benzoin

• Agarwood (Oud): One of the most distinctive and luxurious ingredients in perfumery, Oud brings a deep, resinous, smoky, and woody character that can range from dark and complex to slightly sweet and earthy.
• Indonesian Patchouli Leaf: Adds an earthy, woody, and green element to the fragrance, with a balsamic sweetness that enhances the depth of the composition.
• Benzoin: A resin that contributes a sweet, vanilla-like warmth with balsamic and slightly powdery undertones, softening the intensity of Oud and Patchouli while adding complexity.

Base Notes: Leather, Akigalawood, Amber, Vanilla, and Labdanum

• Leather: Gives the fragrance a bold, smoky, animalic, and slightly sweet edge, evoking a sense of warmth and sophistication.
• Akigalawood: A modern interpretation of patchouli, Akigalawood offers a woody, spicy, and earthy scent with a musky quality. It’s more refined than traditional patchouli, bringing a contemporary twist to the fragrance.
• Amber: A warm, resinous note with rich, honeyed undertones that contribute to the fragrance’s longevity and depth, adding a comforting, sensual warmth.
• Vanilla: Adds a creamy, sweet, and slightly powdery note that balances the more intense and woody elements, making the fragrance more approachable and rounded.
• Labdanum: A resin that provides a deep, warm, balsamic, and somewhat leathery note. It has a rich, slightly sweet, and smoky character that enhances the overall depth of the fragrance.
