The story behind the bottle.
Dubai Platinum, launched by Bond No 9 in 2018, is an ode to the opulent cityscape of Dubai through its rich and complex composition. The fragrance opens with a vibrant burst of cardamom and pink pepper, adding a spicy kick that cuts through the warmth of incense and ginger. As it settles, Atlas cedar and agarwood (oud) create a smoky, woody base that is both grounding and luxurious. This blend of warm spices, balsamic richness, and musky notes encapsulates the essence of Dubai's modern luxury.
Dubai Platinum has a long-lasting quality that requires minimal application. One spray on each wrist is enough to experience its full depth throughout the day. Its moderate sillage ensures it stays close to your skin, making it perfect for intimate settings or formal occasions.
