Bond No. 9 Dubai Emerald is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015. Dubai Emerald opens with Saffron and Hyssop, settles into a heart of Gurjun Balsam and Rose, and dries down to a base of Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Leather, Amber, and Sandalwood. Bond No. 9's Dubai Emerald carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

Divisive yet undeniably opulent, Dubai Emerald is either a masterpiece of Arabian-inspired leather or an overpriced, harsh mishmash. It's a statement scent, demanding attention with brutal projection and eternal longevity.

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.

With its eternal longevity and strong sillage, this scent announces your presence forcefully, making it unsuitable for understated office wear. Its luxurious and bold profile, however, is perfect for special occasions, formal events, and date nights where you want to make a lasting impression.

About

Dubai Emerald throws you into an intense, leathery, and spicy journey from the first spray. Saffron and hyssop create a potent opening, quickly joined by the unique, resinous warmth of gurjun balsam. As it settles, a sophisticated rose emerges, intertwined with a clean, yet prominent leather accord. The base is a rich tapestry of earthy cypriol, smoky amber, creamy sandalwood, and deep patchouli, leaving a lasting trail of exotic luxury.
