Bond No. 9 is a New York-based niche fragrance house founded by Laurice Rahmé in 2003, known for its locally-inspired fragrances tied to Manhattan neighborhoods and global destinations. The brand has built a reputation for bold, distinctive scents that balance accessibility with genuine complexity.

Dubai Citrine opens with bergamot and red berries layered over bracing notes of balsam fir and seaweed, creating an unexpectedly fresh and slightly salty aromatic quality. The heart reveals a lush floral arrangement of marigold, magnolia, geranium, and lily that softens the opening's spice without losing its crisp character. A woody-amber base of vetiver, oakmoss, and musk anchors the composition, giving it depth and longevity while maintaining the fresh spicy character that defines the fragrance's DNA.

This is a refined unisex scent that works year-round, though it's particularly suited to warmer seasons and daytime wear. The balance of fresh citrus and aromatic spice appeals to those who prefer fragrances with structure and movement over linear sweetness. It aligns with The Tactician, The Homesteader, and The Aristocrat scent profiles.

Fragrance Notescommunity verified

Bergamot
Bergamot
A sun-ripened Italian citrus with a brightness that goes beyond lemon, simultaneously tart, floral, and slightly spicy. It's the defining note of Earl Grey tea and the backbone of countless fresh colognes. Perfumers love it as an opener because it lifts the entire composition without overpowering what follows.
Red Berries
Red Berries
A mixed accord of red fruits including raspberry, strawberry, and red currant, producing a bright, sweet, and slightly tart freshness. Red berries read as summery and cheerful, adding an accessible, crowd-pleasing sweetness to florals and orientals. One of the most broadly appealing fruity notes in mainstream perfumery.
Balsam Fir
Balsam Fir
Seaweed
Seaweed
Oceanic, slightly salty, and faintly iodine-like, seaweed adds a genuine marine quality that differs from the abstract ozonic 'freshness' of most aquatic notes. It smells of rockpools and tidal pools: organic, alive, and slightly primal. Used to add authenticity to aquatic compositions that want real sea air rather than a metaphor.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Marigold
Marigold
Pungent, earthy, and bitter-green, marigold is one of perfumery's more challenging florals. Unlike romantic rose or sweet jasmine, marigold smells of sun-warmed earth and slightly sharp greenery with a medicinal edge. It adds a grounded, uncommon naturalness to compositions that want to smell genuinely alive.
Magnolia
Magnolia
Creamy, lush, and faintly lemony, magnolia is a floral note with real presence, richer than peony but more accessible than jasmine. It has a velvety quality and a slight spice that stops it from being simply pretty. Used to add warmth and dimensionality to floral compositions.
Geranium
Geranium
Green, rosy, and slightly minty, geranium is one of perfumery's most useful ingredients, sitting at the intersection of floral, herbal, and green families. Rose geranium adds a natural, slightly ragged freshness to rose accords that synthetic rose can't match. It grounds floral compositions in something earthy and real.
Lily
Lily
Grand, creamy, and slightly spicy, Oriental lily (Stargazer, Casablanca) is one of the most powerful natural flowers, with a heady, complex sweetness that fills a room. White lily is softer and more transparent. Both add drama and elegance to floral compositions, though they require careful handling to avoid becoming oppressive.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Musk
Musk
The base layer of almost every modern fragrance, a soft, warm, skin-like scent that extends longevity and bridges other notes together. Natural musk was once derived from deer (now banned); today's musks are synthetic and range from clean and soapy to dark and animalic. The right musk makes a fragrance smell like 'you.'
Vetiver
Vetiver
Earthy, smoky, and complex, vetiver root is extracted from a grass native to India and has a scent that is simultaneously rooty, woody, and slightly lemony. It's one of perfumery's great base notes: tenacious, unisex, and endlessly adaptable. A fragrance built around vetiver feels grounded and deeply confident.
Oakmoss
Oakmoss
The defining ingredient of classic chypre perfumery, damp, forest-floor earthy with a faint bitterness and incredible complexity. Real oakmoss is now heavily restricted by IFRA regulations, which is why vintage chypres smell so different from modern ones. When present, it creates a raw, outdoorsy anchor that no synthetic fully replicates.
Amber
Amber
A warm, resinous accord rather than a single ingredient, amber is typically built from labdanum, benzoin, and vanilla to create a rich, honeyed, almost solar warmth. It's the quintessential base-note family, adding a comforting richness that makes fragrances feel complete. The difference between a fragrance feeling cold and feeling alive.
