The Maison Crivelli Story
Thibaud Crivelli
Maison Crivelli is a new French Haute Parfumerie house which was founded by Thibaud Crivelli in 2018. A curious and sensitive soul, Thibaud developed an atypical approach to nature in all its splendour during his childhood. Born in Paris, he grew up between the central France and Provence. In 2006, he moved to China, and spent 10 years in various Asian countries, where his western sensibilities were faced with new influences. He developed an empirical and multi-sensorial approach to nature due to his ability to take his time, to be in the moment, and admire its immensity while exploring the smallest details. Thibaud discovered plantations of raw materials used in perfumery, saw his senses continually stirred up, and steeped himself in his surroundings. This exploratory journey was marked by unexpected elements, which have imbued him with an atypical and unusual knowledge of perfume at every level.
Through each creation, Thibaud Crivelli shares the unexpected and ultra-sensorial discovery of a perfume raw material: a tasting of absinth under a Northern light, scorched sandalwood on the slopes of an erupting volcano, a stroll by the sea in wind-blown rose fields. Scents, colors, sounds, taste and textures correspond and all inspire Thibaud Crivelli to create perfumes which will surprise you with their contrasts, their originality and their modernity.
Fragrances are crafted in France with integrity and displayed in handmade plastic free boxes. The bottle reveals an unpolished zamac cap, which is stamped with the Maison Crivelli monogramme. Each cap is unique, thereby extending the art of the unexpected that is so important to Maison Crivelli.
Thirst for adventure
Behind the calm exterior of this young entrepreneur lies a thirst for adventure that has characterized his family for more than 150 years, as they have ventured off the beaten tracks at a time when traveling was uncommon.
From Lebanon to Australia, and from Morocco to Vietnam via the Indian Ocean, the three generations that preceded Thibaud lived on 5 continents, and have passed on an eclectic legacy that has sharpened his taste for exploration.
Incredible experiences

Your purchase contributes to the Couer du Foret (Heart of the Forest) Project
When Thibaud Crivelli visited vetiver and patchouli plantations in Indonesia, he met with the producers and became fully aware of the need to encourage sustainable development practices for perfume raw materials.
The main objectives are as follows: perennial production, limiting soil depletion or deforestation, avoiding chemical fertilizers, and maintaining a high level of quality.
For every purchase of 3 fragrances, you will finance the production of one sustainable patchouli cutting.
