About This Perfume
Fruity and polished, Maison Asrar Vanguard smells like bright citrus and berries with a whisper of leather and spice. Pineapple, blackcurrant, apple, grapefruit and bergamot make a lively fruit opening, sharpened by pink pepper. Cardamom and ginger warm the heart alongside carnation and lily of the valley, and the base of ambergris, cedarwood, cashmere, musk, leather and moss grounds it in something woody and polished.
It leans masculine and works in every season, day or night, for casual wear. The community rates it as a fairly safe pick with a low polarising score. It lasts a moderate amount of time and projects to about arm's length. A 2025 release.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: fans of fruity, woody scents with a leathery finish for everyday wear.
- Sample first if: you are deciding between this and cheaper fruity-woody options you already own.
- Skip if: you want something sweet and gourmand.
Around $100.

The Brand
Maison Asrar
Maison Asrar has 111 perfumes indexed on Scendira, with a catalogue built around citrus, amber, and fruity accords. Citrus (32 perfumes) is the top accord, closely followed by amber (31) and fruity (31), then sweet (29), white-floral (26), and woody (23), so most releases open bright or fruity before settling into an amber-vanilla base. On the note level, vanilla, amber, and bergamot are tied as the top notes at 16 each. Prices run $15 to $100, median $48, mid-tier for Gulf perfumery. The catalogue leans heavily unisex (83 of 112 mapped), with feminine (21) and masculine (8) making up the rest. By community mentions, Legacy and Vanguard are the most-discussed Maison Asrar perfumes, followed closely by Vanilla Voyage, Vanilla Aura, and Coffee Blend. Maison Asrar is known for citrus-amber compositions with a strong vanilla-gourmand thread running through its most-talked-about releases.
