The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Dubai Garnet by Bond No 9 was launched in 2016 as part of the brand's exploration of iconic landmarks and experiences beyond New York City. This fragrance opens with pink pepper and blackberry, creating an initial burst of freshness and sweetness that transitions into a heart of rose, plum, and magnolia — floral notes that are both delicate and bold. The base notes of amber, myrrh, vetiver, and musk add depth and warmth, grounding the composition in rich earthy tones.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance in light layers to allow its complex notes to unfold gradually. The sweet and fruity top notes will fade within an hour, but the rich base notes will linger for hours, making it perfect for evening wear.
