Maison Crivelli is a young Parisian niche house whose fragrances each begin with a single sensory memory — a flower seen in a particular place, a material touched on a journey — and build something unexpected around it. Full bottles are rare in Egypt. The house's own 1.5 ML samples and 5 ML travel sizes are the practical way to own them.
Hibiscus Mahajad
Hibiscus, Damask rose, cassis and a flash of peppermint, over vanilla, leather, ambrette and cinnamon. Tart red flower and fruit on top, soft leathery warmth underneath — the house's signature, and the one most people search for. The 5 ML travel size is a proper bottle to carry, not a tester.
Tubéreuse Astrale
Tuberose made airy and luminous. A touch of cinnamon, then tuberose and osmanthus, over musk and vanilla. Far lighter than a classic heady tuberose, it suits daytime and people who normally find white flowers too much.
Oud Stallion
The house's oud: saffron, cardamom and nutmeg, a heart of jasmine, osmanthus and Turkish rose, and a base of agarwood, leather, cedar and tonka. Rich and polished rather than barnyard — an oud for people who are new to oud.
Cuir Infrarouge
Leather warmed by raspberry, cinnamon and bergamot, with orris and osmanthus in the heart and oud, vanilla and patchouli in the base. Fruit and leather together, very much in the Crivelli style.
Musc Nurasana
A musk with Damask rose and frankincense, bergamot, ginger and cardamom on top. Often sold out; the card below lets you ask to be told when it is back.
Questions
Is the Maison Crivelli travel size original?
Yes. The 5 ML travel sizes and the 1.5 ML samples are Maison Crivelli's own, exactly as the house makes them.
Which Maison Crivelli should I try first?
Hibiscus Mahajad is the house's best known. If you prefer something lighter, try Tubéreuse Astrale; if you like oud, Oud Stallion.
How long does a 5 ML travel size last?
About 50 to 60 sprays — several weeks of regular wear.
