Bond No. 9 is a New York-based niche fragrance house known for its city-specific collection, each bottle designed to capture the essence of a particular location. Dubai Emerald is part of this series, created to evoke the luxury and mystique of the UAE's most iconic city.

Dubai Emerald opens with saffron and hyssop, establishing an immediate spicy-herbaceous character with earthy undertones. The heart develops into a rich floral composition built on rose and gurjan balsam, which adds a creamy, slightly resinous sweetness. The base is where this fragrance truly anchors itself, combining leather, cypriol oil, amber, patchouli, and sandalwood into a warm, woody-aromatic foundation that grounds the florals with significant depth and sensuality.

This is a fragrance for someone drawn to complex floral-orientals with genuine substance rather than simple sweetness. It works well in cooler months and evening settings where its full, textured character can fully develop on skin. The leather and spice give it an androgynous edge despite its womens classification. If you're drawn to fragrances with mystique and seductive complexity, Dubai Emerald aligns with The Mystic, The Seducer, and The Maverick scent profiles.

Fragrance Notescommunity verified
Top · 0–30 min
Saffron
Saffron
The most expensive spice in the world has a leathery, honeyed, slightly metallic quality that is immediately recognizable. In perfumery, saffron adds a dark, animalic richness, it's the note that gives oud-rose fragrances their distinctive regal depth. A little goes a long way; too much reads as medicinal.
Hyssop
Hyssop
An aromatic herb with a complex profile: simultaneously camphor-like, slightly minty, herbal, and resinous. Hyssop has a medicinal, slightly astringent quality that adds an ancient, apothecary character to fragrances. One of the herbs of the Bible, it adds a sacred, contemplative depth to herbal and resinous compositions.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Rose
Rose
The queen of floral notes and the most-used ingredient in fine perfumery. Real rose is simultaneously velvety, honeyed, and slightly spicy, nothing like the synthetic candy version. Depending on the variety used, it can anchor a composition or drift through it like a ghost, adding warmth without dominating.
Gurjan balsam
Gurjan balsam
An oleoresin from Southeast Asian dipterocarpe trees with a complex, smoky, resinous, and slightly camphoraceous character. Gurjan balsam adds a distinctly exotic, slightly harsh resinous depth to oriental compositions. It has a raw, natural quality that synthetic balsams cannot fully replicate.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Leather
Leather
One of perfumery's most complex accords, smoky, animalic, and slightly woody, evoking tanned hide, polished saddles, or fine gloves depending on the recipe. Leather adds sophistication and edge simultaneously, and is deeply associated with masculinity in Western perfumery (though the best leather fragrances transcend gender entirely).
Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha
Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha
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.
Patchouli
Patchouli
Dense, earthy, and darkly sweet, patchouli is the scent of damp soil and dried herbs with an almost chocolatey richness. It polarizes people because in high concentrations it's overwhelming, but as a supporting note it adds depth and longevity that almost nothing else can match. The backbone of countless oriental and chypre fragrances.
Sandalwood
Sandalwood
Creamy, smooth, and milky with a soft, skin-like warmth that clings beautifully. True Mysore sandalwood is one of perfumery's most precious ingredients, simultaneously wood and skin, never cold or sharp. It rounds off sharp edges in any composition and makes the wearer smell subtly, irresistibly warmer.
