Bond No. 9 Dubai Garnet is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Dubai Garnet opens with Bergamot, Pink Pepper, Cardamom, and Seaweed, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Lavender, and Magnolia, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Vetiver, and Oakmoss. Bond No. 9's Dubai Garnet carries an Acquired verdict, an amber-led wear.

A pretty, rather feminine fruity-floral amber with a Middle Eastern whisper, utterly let down by performance issues. It’s lovely if you can get past the abysmal longevity and projection for the price. Massively overpriced for what it delivers.

About

Dubai Garnet opens with a fruity burst of juicy blackberry and bright bergamot, spiced gently with pink pepper and cardamom, underpinned by an unusual marine hint of seaweed. The heart unfolds into a rich floral bouquet of jammy rose and delicate jasmine, softened by magnolia and a touch of plum. As it settles, a warm amber base emerges, blended with earthy vetiver, green oakmoss, and a sensual musk, leaving a soft, slightly mysterious trail.
