The Brand
Riiffs
Riiffs' 87-perfume catalogue on Scendira is Scendira's most gender-balanced brand of any real size: 38% unisex, 33% masculine, 29% feminine, none dominating. Woody (29 perfumes) and citrus (28) lead the accords, with amber (25), sweet (22), and vanilla (21) close behind, and vanilla is the top individual note, in 42 of the 87 perfumes, followed by musk in 37 and amber in 33. Prices span the widest range on Scendira for a mid-large brand, $19 to $119.99, median $49.99, so budget and prestige-priced pieces sit side by side. Zenith is the most-discussed perfume by community mentions (80), closely followed by Freeze (76), both well ahead of the rest of the catalogue.
