Horses are probably one of my favourite animals. Aside from their majestic beauty and the calmness they can instill, there’s also something enigmatic about their galloping – just ask Maison Crivelli. Inspired by galloping horses through smoking trails, the perfume house’s latest scent, Oud Stallion, pays homage to oud scents with a bold and luxurious offering.

Oud Stallion by Maison Crivelli: A Fragrance for the Bold and Fearless
Saddling up with Maison Crivelli Oud Stallion, the scent makes it clear that it’s an oud upon the first spray, with agarwood leading the commanding and bold opening. Balancing the oud’s smokiness is saffron, which adds an exotic, spicy and almost metallic warmth.
As the fragrance begins to settle, a surprising softness emerges, with rose helping to create a dark, yet elegant and sweet. To maintain the woodiness, and sweetness, of the oud, is patchouli, which adds depth, while a leather accord works to enhance the adventurousness and boldness inspiring the scent.
Upon drying down are amber and cedarwood, which work together to provide a warm, smoky, comforting, and earthy finish, which complements the oud’s boldness and rounds out the base.
Too Rugged?
My favourite thing about oud scents is how unapologetic they are, and Maison Crivelli’s Oud Stallion is exactly that, both daring and rich. While bold, the scent is unisex, allowing for a wider audience that wishes to make a statement and enjoy its exceptional longevity and prominent sillage during sophisticated events, evening outings, and special occasions.
However, as it is an oud, this scent may not be appreciated by everyone as it can be quite intense, and some may view it as too busy and mature. Additionally, it’s not a scent that can be worn all year, as its richness and warmth are best appreciated during the colder months.
Galloping Ahead
If you’re looking for an oud that not only makes a statement, but takes you on an adventure, then Maison Crivelli’s Oud Stallion is the daring fragrance that you’re looking for.
