Squeezing the Last of Summer Out of Your Fragrance Wardrobe

These four are exactly that window in bottle form — bright, juicy, and built to wear right through late August rather than saved for next June. Three are Bujairami, part of the range Scent of the Dunes carries as the brand's official UK distributor; the fourth is from Maison Asrar. If you're not sure which scent family suits you, our Scent Finder can narrow it down in under a minute — genuinely useful with four fresh, fruity options this close in character.

Maison Asrar Vision Fresh Citrus unisex Eau de Parfum 100ml bottle
Maison Asrar

Vision

Fresh Citrus

Maison Asrar Vision is inspired by Louis Vuitton Pacific Chill, and it's the sharpest, cleanest of the four — lime, orange and lemon up front with a blackcurrant edge that keeps it from reading as generic "citrus fresh." What stands out on skin is how it holds its shape: the basil and white tea heart doesn't collapse into sweetness the way a lot of budget citrus scents do after an hour, it just quietly fades into musk and ambergris. It's the pick for anyone who wants one bottle that works for an office day and a warm-evening walk without needing to reapply. Browse the full Maison Asrar range if this direction suits you.

Bujairami Safari Squeeze Tropical Fruity unisex Eau de Parfum 100ml bottle
Bujairami

Safari Squeeze

Tropical Fruity

Bujairami Safari Squeeze is the most overtly "holiday" scent of the four — lime, mint and blood mandarin opening straight into guava and coconut, the kind of profile that smells like poolside rather than office. What keeps it from tipping into candy territory is the drydown: ambergris, moss and a whisper of oud pull it back to something with real depth once the fruit settles. Currently limited stock — SOTD restocks Bujairami drops in small batches, so if this one's calling your name for the last few weeks of warm weather, it's worth not waiting. Pairs naturally with anything from our Bujairami perfumes collection if you're building out a summer rotation.

Bujairami Non Stop Fruity Citrus unisex Extrait de Parfum 100ml bottle
Bujairami

Non Stop

Fruity Citrus

Non Stop is also inspired by Louis Vuitton Pacific Chill, but built as an Extrait de Parfum rather than an EDP — the concentration shows in how long it actually sits on skin, which is the real gap it fills next to Vision. Orange, green lemon and black currant open bright, but the apricot and May rose heart give it a softer, slightly more polished character than a straight citrus scent, before dates and fig round out a genuinely base. If you've found EDP citrus fragrances fade faster than you'd like by mid-afternoon, this is the one built to solve that. Explore more from the Bujairami perfumes collection for similar depth.

Bujairami Chubby Citrus Woody unisex Extrait de Parfum 100ml bottle
Bujairami

Chubby

Citrus Woody

Chubby is inspired by Ani X by Nishane, and it's the transitional piece of this lineup — lemon and bergamot up top read just as summery as the others, but green apple, black currant, sandalwood and vanilla in the base give it a warmth the purely fruity scents don't have. It's the one to reach for on a late-August evening when the air's cooling but you're not ready to switch to full autumn woods yet. Stock is limited on this one too, so it's worth grabbing before the current batch sells through. See the rest of the range in our Bujairami perfumes collection.

Common Questions

Last Days of Summer FAQs

Which is best for the last few weeks of summer?


Which one transitions best into autumn?
Chubby, thanks to its sandalwood and vanilla base — it keeps enough citrus brightness for warm days while wearing warmer than the fully fruity options as evenings cool down.

How do I get 10% off with the End of Summer Sale?
Use code GOLDENHOUR10 at checkout for 10% off, or shop via the auto-apply link on this page so the discount is added automatically. The sale runs through 31 August.

Are these fragrances unisex?
Yes, all four — Vision, Safari Squeeze, Non Stop and Chubby — are formulated and sold as unisex. Fragrance is personal, so we'd always encourage trying a scent on its notes and character rather than by gender label.

Can I buy these in the UK?
Yes. Scent of the Dunes is the official UK Bujairami distributor and first official UK stockist, sourcing Safari Squeeze, Non Stop and Chubby directly from the brand, with free UK shipping on every order. Maison Asrar Vision is available as an authentic retail stock item through the same free UK shipping.
