Spend one night or more with Cuir InfraRouge, the 7th fragrance by Maison Crivelli
©
Founded in 2018 by Thibaud Crivelli, Maison Crivelli is a Parisian house that wishes to reinvent French artisanal perfumery. In his image, each fragrance is born from an “olfactory shock”, as a true explosive encounter between a rare ingredient and the creator’s deeply personal, ultra-sensory memory. Sounds, colors, textures, and flavors intertwine in a bold synesthetic expression, capturing the raw essence of precious materials through innovative extraction techniques.
Located at 280 rue Saint-Honoré, Maison Crivelli cultivates genuine authentic and vegan luxury, favoring exploration over conventional formulas. Its philosophy? To elevate the unexpected beauty of scents into immersive experiences, crafted for the most discerning noses. Different collections, better known as Chocs, Évasions, Mystères and Expériences Olfactives embody this modern vision, where perfume becomes an intimate journey. This is also the case of their last issue, Cuir InfraRouge introduced here. By ST & AL
Since its creation, Maison Crivelli has been disrupting several codes of perfumery. The master perfumer transforms his personal memories, such as an electro festival, an exotic journey, into specific synesthetic “olfactory shocks”, blending sounds, colors, and rare textures, notably through a selection of avant-garde extraction methods (photo credits: Maison Crivelli).
Both committed by a vegan and artisanal philosophy, the perfume house favors sublime raw materials over standard formulas. Its immersive orientation wishes to captivate and satisfy all demanding fragrance lovers, from their Évasions collection to their Expériences Olfactives. An authentic Parisian luxury brand that invites anyone to a sensory exploration.
In 2026, the 7th opus of the house, baptized Cuir InfraRouge, is their new Extrait de Parfum, imagined by Thibaud Crivelli and composed by perfumer Jordi Fernandez. Conceived as a memory of an electro night, this fragrance channels here the energy of some random festival, by vibrating neon lights, melting raspberry cocktails, and even leather armchairs, preferably immersed in darkness.
At the heart of this creation lies a contrast between an almost fluorescent raspberry and supple, textured leather, forming this original fragrance’s olfactory signature. From the first spray, a tangy raspberry accord merges with the juicy brightness of citrus, led by a luminous bergamot that brings real freshness and dynamism. This sparkling fruity opening evokes any first drink at the bar, while surrounding music rising, with a crowd coming alive. In the other side, anyone could admit that its spicy part somehow evokes any DJ behind his decks and a smoky wooden bar counter.
Its heart unveils an elegant suede leather, wrapped in the powdery softness of ORPUR iris flower and warmed by cinnamon, while cedarwood provides a textured, almost tactile woody backbone. Therefore, this composition deepens without losing its colorful aura, like leather brushed by laser beams. Then, its base settles into a dense and sensual alliance of oud, patchouli, CO₂ vanilla, and tonka bean, creating a warm, enveloping, and irresistibly addictive trail. This velvety foundation is able to prolong on your skin, a true sensation of an electrifying after-party where the night never seems to end.
Classified within an oriental gourmand and amber family, we can say that this Cuir InfraRouge fragrance plays with fruity, leathery, and woody facets, undoubtedly appealing to lovers of intense perfumes with a strong personality. Highly concentrated at 32% and formulated as a vegan formula, this extrait de parfum wears like an olfactory adornment, ideal for those seeking a bold wake. Adding to this, Maison Crivelli also invites to a certain exploration of the art of layering, pairing Cuir InfraRouge with other creations to enhance its inner dimensions, like with Oud Maracujá (passion oud), Lys Sølaberg (liquorous floral), or Neroli Nasimba (leathery blossom).
