Bond No. 9 Dubai Citrine is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Dubai Citrine opens with Canadian Fir Balsam, Red Fruits, Bergamot, and Seaweed, settles into a heart of Marigold, Geranium, Magnolia, and Lily, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Vetiver, and Oakmoss. Bond No. 9's Dubai Citrine carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

Dubai Citrine mixes bright bergamot and red fruits with seaweed and fir balsam, then moves through marigold and magnolia into a mossy, amber base. It is an unusual blend that is fresh, floral and slightly briny. Interesting for the curious, but not the most straightforward wear.

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Dubai Citrine opens with bergamot, red fruits, seaweed and Canadian fir balsam, a bright mix with a salty, green and resinous twist. The heart is floral, with marigold, magnolia, lily and geranium adding a rounded, slightly green bloom. The base is musk, vetiver, oakmoss and amber, which give an earthy, mossy depth with a touch of warmth. Overall it is a complex, fresh floral-woody scent that mixes sea, fruit and forest in one unisex blend.
