MAISON CRIVELLI NEROLI NASIMBA
Inspired by a safari trek where orange blossom suffused the air, here is a fragrance to take your nose on an adventure. Neroli Nasimba is a magnificent juxtaposition of contrasts and, using unexpected notes, continues the always fascinating fragrances from this house (which we predict will go on to conquer the fragrance world with their multilayered and inventive scents). In this launch we find oodles of orange blossom and luminous mandarin contrasted with the cool spice of cardamom and deep, animalic purr of Saffiano leather. Created in collaboration with Paul Guerlain, this is an absolute must-sniff and, we predict again, a forever-love for warmer days or, conversely, when you crave that soul-swooning, bone dry heat.
Thibaud Crivelli founded Maison Crivelli in 2018, making it his mission to open up the communication channels of the fragrance world, inviting people ‘to slow down and take a moment for themselves,’ so that you’re able to be surprised again – to be re-connected to your sense of smell and the emotional responses you experience.’ Having grown up in France, spending his childhood summers on the French Riviera; later, Thibaud studied in Paris before moving to China in 2006, then travelling in various Asian countries for the next 10 years. Considering that the previous three generations of Crivellis had traversed five continents, and with music, art and foods sampled from a wide variety of those cultures, it’s perhaps only natural that he, too, became a sensorial adventurer.
