Dubai Gold
Dubai Gold by Bond No. 9 is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. The house lists its notes as cognac, saffron, bitter orange, ginger, cedarwood, guaiac wood, amber, sandalwood, musk and patchouli, without saying which you smell first. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Listed notes
- Cognac Boozy, fruity and warming. Richer and rounder than rum.
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
- Bitter Orange Marmalade without the sugar. Sour and slightly medicinal.
- Ginger Warm, zesty and slightly soapy. Bridges citrus and spice.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Guaiac Wood Smoky, tarry and slightly sweet. Like a bonfire and roses.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
