The story behind the bottle.
Dubai Emerald by Bond No 9 was launched in 2015 as a bold statement within the brand's portfolio. This unisex fragrance opens with hyssop and saffron, creating an intriguing tension between herbal freshness and warm spice. At its heart lies rose, which is enveloped by gurjan balsam and leather, adding depth and warmth. The base of amber, sandalwood, patchouli, and cypriol oil or nagarmotha grounds the composition with earthy, animalic undertones that evoke a sense of lasting luxury. Dubai Emerald captures the essence of modern opulence, blending traditional Middle Eastern elements with contemporary sophistication.
Apply this fragrance in light layers as it has a strong presence. The saffron and hyssop notes are bright but fleeting, so allow the warm base to develop over time for maximum impact. It pairs well with evening wear or sophisticated business attire.
