The story behind the bottle.
Dubai Ruby by Bond No 9, launched in 2015, is an Oriental Floral fragrance that captures the essence of Dubai’s rich heritage and modern sophistication. The composition opens with saffron and bergamot, providing a fresh spicy and aromatic contrast before settling into a heart of rose, geranium, magnolia, and civet. The base notes include sandalwood, myrrh, amber, and cypriol oil, creating an opulent and warm spicy finish.
Dubai Ruby develops best when applied in light layers. The top notes are vibrant but fleeting, so a second application after an hour can enhance its longevity. It’s ideal for evening wear, as the warm spicy base notes shine in cooler temperatures.
