Dune is a fragrance for women of the woody oriental olfactory family, launched in 1991. It was created by perfumers Jean-Louis Sieuzac and Nejla Barbir. Its main notes include mandarin, peony and bergamot in the top notes; lily, jasmine and rose in the heart; and sandalwood, amber and vanilla in the base notes. The fragrance is inspired by the harmony between nature and the human spirit, evoking the serenity of a seascape and the warmth of sand dunes.

It is presented in an elegant colorless glass bottle, with sensual, rounded shapes, body and cap.

The large display bottles of top brand perfumes, also called factices, are key pieces in the windows of luxury perfumeries, such as the historic Perfumerías Regia. Their main purpose is the advertising display and the enhancement of the brand's prestige on a large scale. These bottles are exact and monumental replicas of the retail packaging, typically varying between 30 and 60 cm in height to capture the attention of the passerby. Their design is identical to the original (copying the shape of the glass, the cap and even the typography). In the context of prestigious perfumeries, these replicas function as a symbol of status and luxury. As the focal point of the window display, they reinforce the brand image of international houses (such as Chanel, Dior or Guerlain) and become a form of three-dimensional advertising that ensures that the iconic shape of the bottle is immediately associated with the exclusivity of the product.
