About This Perfume
Dubai Ruby by Bond No 9 is a Oriental Floral fragrance for women and men. Dubai Ruby was launched in 2015. Top notes are Saffron, Bergamot and Artemisia; middle notes are Rose, Geranium and Magnolia; base notes are Civet, Sandalwood, Myrhh, Amber and Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha. Dubai provides inspiration for the New York-based brand Bond No9 which promotes the Dubai Collection with three new fragrances Dubai Ruby, Dubai Emerald and Dubai Indigo in luxurious flacons with characteristic star-shape. The new fragrances arrive in transparent glass flacons in red, blue and green color, covered in gold color metal creating the shape of door on the flacon, which can be seen on beautiful Arabic palaces. Metal shuttering with its perforated slits create ornaments through which you can see the body of the bottle and discreetly passing light. BOND NO 9 DUBAI RUBY is characteristic for its oriental-floral composition embellished with spices. Top notes abound in saffron with shades of Artemisia and bergamot. The heart is floral, created of rose, magnolia and geranium, while the base is warm and subtle, created of a blend of myrrh, amber, sandalwood, cypriol and civet. The perfume can be obtained as 100ml Eau de Parfum.
