Oud Maracuja vs Oud Stallion: Which to Buy (We Make Both)

4 min read Oct 10, 2026

Maison Crivelli makes two ouds that people keep setting against each other. Oud Maracuja is the juicy one, passionfruit sitting on oud. Oud Stallion is the dark one, saffron and leather over oud. We make a take on each, so we can tell you which one actually leaves the shelf.

Both originals cost the same. Oud Maracuja is £220 for 50ml at Harrods (checked October 2026). Oud Stallion is £220 for 50ml at John Lewis (checked October 2026). Our versions are £40 each, both at 35% Extrait, so the choice is about the scent, not the receipt.

Maracuda, our take on Oud Maracuja by Maison Crivelli. 35% Extrait, 7+ hours guaranteed, 60-day money-back. Try the 5ml for £6.99, or the 50ml at £40 (buy any 2, get 1 free).

The Stallion, our take on Oud Stallion by Maison Crivelli. Same price, same strength. Try the 5ml for £6.99, or the 50ml at £40.

What our own sales say

Here is the number no rival can give you. We sell both bottles at the same price and the same strength, so buyers pick on smell alone. Over the last 90 days Maracuda sold 89 and The Stallion sold 66, out of 3,723 bottles across our 250 best sellers. The fruity one wins, by about four to three.

The ratings tell a quieter story. The Stallion sits at 4.7 from 16 reviews. Maracuda sits at 4.6 from 36. More people buy the passionfruit, but the people who buy the leather rate it a touch higher. All figures pulled from our shop on 10 October 2026.

How they actually smell

Maracuda opens on passionfruit and exotic fruit, then rose, saffron and spice, over oud, amber and musk. It reads fruity and deep at the same time. A good pick if you want oud without the weight.

The Stallion opens on saffron, leather and grapefruit, then oud, rose and jasmine, over patchouli, amber and musk. Animalic and smoky. This is the cold-weather, night-out one.
