The latest season of Married At First Sight Australia has been fraught with drama. From couples leaving after two days to ditched contestants returning with entirely new partners, it’s been one for the history books. And yet somehow, contestants Jamie Marinos and Dave Thomas Hand managed to shock viewers the most when their picture perfect love story suddenly imploded within a matter of days.
Now, with Dave attempting to make things up to Jamie and get their marriage back on track, it seems he’s pulling out all the stops… or at least buying her affection. The 36-year-old groom treated his wife to an expensive perfume on last night’s episode, and Jamie’s reaction had a seismic impact on viewers – seriously. According to Google Trends, ‘What perfume did Dave buy Jamie?’ is a breakout search term for the show.
That’s most likely because Jamie sat in awe when she opened the fragrance, aghast that Dave would spend £400 on a gift for her. She went on to bask in the gifting glory for the rest of the episode, commenting that the other contestants would want to ‘eat’ her once they gave her a sniff.
So, what’s this luxurious scent Jamie speaks so highly of?
What perfume did Dave buy Jamie?
Alas, we’ve found it! Dave bought Jamie Maison Crivelli’s Oud Maracuja, currently available at Harrods in 100ml for £375 – although you can get a 50ml bottle for £220. The perfume has five stars on the site, and is described as having base notes of leather and incense for a deep, complex scent.
‘Developed in collaboration with renowned perfumer Jordi Fernandez, Maison Crivelli's Oud Maracujá is a long-lasting, highly concentrated extrait de parfum that incites an intense reaction from the senses,’ the description reads. ‘This robust scent opens with a medley of fruity notes, with passion fruit and blackcurrant intermingling with warm notes of saffron and woody oud, delivering a rich and spicy finish.’
No wonder Jamie was so excited!
