Four Brands, One Stop

Bujairami tends to get the spotlight, but Scent of the Dunes carries a genuinely varied roster beyond it. This edit is a starting point for anyone curious about Maison Asrar's polished citrus ambers, Surrati's oud-led classics, Riiffs' spiced gourmands, or CEVI's fresher, more casual side. Each brand has its own character, so treat this less as a single collection and more as four short introductions.

MAISON ASRAR

Regent

Citrus Amber

Regent opens on bergamot, mandarin, grapefruit and ginger, moves through a jasmine, orange blossom and orris heart, and settles into ambergris, cedarwood, musk, patchouli, sandalwood and tonka. It's built to be genuinely versatile — clean enough for the office, polished enough to carry into an evening without feeling out of place. With moderate sillage and moderate-to-long longevity, it's a sensible everyday pick if citrus ambers are new territory for you.

MAISON ASRAR

Vision

Fresh Citrus

Vision opens on lime, orange, lemon and blackcurrant, moves into a basil, white tea and coriander heart, and finishes on musk, ambergris and moss. Compared to Regent, it's the brighter, more herbal of the two Maison Asrar scents here — the white tea and basil keep it crisp rather than sweet. Genuinely gym-bag or desk-drawer practical for anyone who wants a clean, easy-reaching fresh scent for daily wear. Try our Scent Finder if you want to compare it against other fresh citrus options.

SURRATI

White Oud

Woody Oriental

White Oud opens on green tea and leather, moves through an oud-and-saffron heart, and settles into tobacco and dried grasses. It's a genuinely accessible entry point into oud fragrances — the green tea keeps the opening lighter than the name suggests, so it doesn't hit you with a wall of smoke straight away. With 8-10 hours of quoted longevity and moderate sillage, it's built for autumn-winter evenings and a strong value pick at this price.

SURRATI

Black Oud

Woody Oriental Amber

Black Oud opens on bold oud with fresh aromatic accents and subtle citrus, moves into a spice and amber heart, and finishes on patchouli, musk and vanilla. Where White Oud stays comparatively restrained, this is the bolder, more traditional oud of the two — a genuine winter-evening fragrance built for special occasions rather than daily wear. Explore both side by side if you're still deciding which oud style suits you.

Surrati at Scent of the Dunes

RIIFFS

Seasons Rise

Spicy Gourmand

Seasons Rise opens on nutmeg, pink pepper, orange blossom and orris, builds through a toffee, caramel, cinnamon and clary sage heart, and settles into cashmeran, vanilla bean, praline, amber and ambroxan. It's a genuinely dessert-adjacent fragrance without tipping into cloying — the orris and clary sage give it a slightly herbal backbone that keeps the sweetness in check. Built for formal autumn-winter evenings, this is one to reach for when the weather turns.

RIIFFS

Veloce

Amber Gourmand

Veloce opens on grapefruit, aldehydes and bergamot, moves through a myrrh, labdanum and jasmine heart, and closes on tonka bean, vanilla and amber. The aldehydes give the opening an almost "sparkling" quality that's unusual against the warm gourmand base underneath — a more textured build than most amber gourmands offer. As an Extrait de Parfum built for formal evenings, it pairs well as an alternative if Seasons Rise feels a touch too sweet for your taste.

CEVI

Cypher Blue

Fresh Fruity

Cypher Blue, inspired by Ex Nihilo's Blue Talisman, opens on bergamot and spicy notes, moves through a pear, white flowers and fruity heart, and settles into musk and gourmand notes. Unlike CEVI's original launch range, this one is explicitly built around a named scent direction — genuinely versatile day-to-night wear, and the pear-and-musk combination keeps it from reading as a generic fresh fruity. A good casual, all-season pick if you want something easy rather than a statement piece.
