The story behind the bottle.
Dubai Amber by Bond No 9 was launched in 2016 as a tribute to the city's rich and luxurious atmosphere. The composition opens with pink pepper and saffron, adding a soft spicy warmth that leads into a heart of bergamot, raspberry, gurjan balsam, and guaiac wood. This gives way to a base of Bulgarian rose, jasmine, amber, cedar, and vanilla, creating a warm, enveloping scent that feels both sophisticated and comforting. The fragrance captures the essence of Dubai's opulent modernity — where traditional spices meet contemporary elegance.
Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points for a balanced presence throughout the day. The pink pepper and saffron top notes are vibrant but short-lived, so rely on the rich amber and vanilla base to carry the scent into the evening.
