Maison Crivelli Oud Maracuja and Louis Vuitton Ombre Nomade are two of the most searched oud scents in the UK, and they sit at opposite ends of the shelf. One is juicy passionfruit over oud. The other is dark smoke and incense. We make a take on each, so we can tell you something the review sites cannot.
The number only we can give you
Over the last 90 days we sold 88 bottles of our Oud Maracuja take and 87 of our Ombre Nomade take. One bottle apart. When two scents this different finish level, neither style wins outright. It comes down to whether you want fruit or smoke on your skin.
The ratings tell a second story. Our Ombre Nomade take has 63 reviews at 4.5 out of 5. Our Oud Maracuja take has 35 at 4.6. So the smoky one reaches more people, and the fruity one keeps them a shade happier.
Oud Maracuja, the fruity one
Passionfruit and exotic fruit open it, then rose, saffron and spice, over oud, amber and musk. Deep and juicy at once. Maison Crivelli Oud Maracuja is £220 for 50ml at Harrods (checked October 2026).

So which one?
If you want something bright and different that still reads as oud, go Maracuda. If you want the dark, smoky, cold-weather scent people stop you to ask about, go Nomade. Both are £40, both 35% Extrait, both covered by the 60-day money-back. At that price a lot of buyers take the pair.
