Bond No. 9 has turned Dubai into a full collection with three new editions—Black Sapphire, Jade and Garnet.
Dubai Black Sapphire’s top notes of neroli blended with spicy-mellow saffron and beeswax, are followed by Turkish rose, surrounded by balsamic gurjun, resinous cedarwood and a hit of pungent pepper. The scent dries down with incense-rich oud and Siam benzoin, soothing sandalwood, cinnamon-like tolu balm and earthy vetiver.
Dubai Jade blends sparkling florals with languid incense. Starting off with violet leaves, tart raspberry and warming cumin, it segues into floral heart of rose, lily, and jasmine, played out against crisp, clean cedarwood. A mélange of syrupy base notes—resinous amber and ambrette, sensual musk, oud, and leather-like birch tar—add a powerful resonance.
Dubai Garnet has bergamot, musky blackberry, licorice-like cardamom, invigorating seaweed, and pink pepper as it opens. Rose is a major mid-note, accompanying magnolia, jasmine, and lavender, along with succulent plum and spicy cumin. Classic base notes of musk, amber, myrrh and vetiver provide staying power, and oak moss adds a creamy-soft hint of chypre.
