BOND NO. 9 DUBAI BLACK SAPPHIRE EAU DE PARFUM 100ML

An Opulent Fusion of Saffron, Turkish Rose, Oud & Precious Woods

BOND NO. 9 Dubai Black Sapphire Eau de Parfum is an intensely luxurious fragrance inspired by the dazzling contrasts of modern Dubai, where Middle Eastern perfumery traditions meet the cosmopolitan spirit of New York. Rich, mysterious, warm, and deeply sophisticated, Black Sapphire brings together citrusy neroli, golden saffron, beeswax, Turkish rose, aromatic woods, precious oud, sandalwood, and sumptuous balsamic resins.

Part of BOND NO. 9's Dubai collection, the fragrance was created to transport exotic perfumery into the modern era, combining the richness of the Middle East with BOND NO. 9's distinctly contemporary approach to fragrance.

The result is a captivating Eau de Parfum with a powerful woody, earthy, and warm-spicy character—an enveloping composition designed for someone who wants their fragrance to make a sophisticated and unforgettable statement.

THE INSPIRATION BEHIND DUBAI BLACK SAPPHIRE

Dubai represents one of the world's most extraordinary intersections of tradition, luxury, architecture, commerce, and modernity. Rising from the Arabian desert into a global metropolis, the city combines centuries-old Middle Eastern culture with futuristic architecture, international fashion, fine dining, and an extraordinary luxury lifestyle.

BOND NO. 9's Dubai collection explores this meeting point between East and West, pairing traditional Middle Eastern ingredients such as oud, saffron, incense-like resins, and precious woods with a modern New York sensibility.

Dubai Black Sapphire captures the darker, more mysterious side of this world.

Its opening is brightened by sparkling neroli, warmed by saffron and softened by the golden sweetness of beeswax. The fragrance then reveals an elegant heart built around luxurious Turkish rose, aromatic gurjun, cedarwood, and pepper.

As the fragrance settles, the composition becomes darker and richer. Oud, sandalwood, Tolu balm, Siam benzoin, and vetiver create a deep, resinous and woody foundation that gives Black Sapphire its distinctive sense of depth and opulence.

THE SCENT OF DUBAI BLACK SAPPHIRE

Dubai Black Sapphire is an intricate fragrance that evolves gradually on the skin.

Opening — Neroli, Saffron & Beeswax

The fragrance begins with the luminous freshness of neroli, bringing a citrusy, floral brightness to the composition. Alongside it, saffron introduces a dry, warm, subtly leathery spice, while beeswax contributes a mellow golden sweetness reminiscent of warm honey.

This combination creates an unusual opening: bright yet warm, refined yet exotic.

Heart — Turkish Rose, Gurjun, Cedarwood & Pepper

At the heart, luxurious Turkish rose becomes the composition's principal floral accent. Rather than creating a traditionally delicate rose fragrance, BOND NO. 9 surrounds the rose with resinous and woody elements.

Gurjun adds balsamic depth, while cedarwood introduces a dry, elegant woody character. A touch of pepper adds energy and spicy contrast.

The result is a rich and sophisticated floral heart with a decidedly darker personality.

Dry Down — Oud, Sandalwood, Tolu Balm, Benzoin Siam & Vetiver

The final stage reveals the true depth of Dubai Black Sapphire.

Oud provides smoky, resinous richness, while sandalwood brings a creamy, smooth woody texture. Tolu balm contributes warmth and a cinnamon-like sweetness, while Siam benzoin reinforces the resinous character.

Finally, vetiver adds an earthy, dry foundation that balances the sweeter balsamic elements.

The overall effect is deep, atmospheric, luxurious, and mysterious.

OLFACTIVE FAMILY

Woody & Earthy — Warm & Spicy

Dubai Black Sapphire combines the smoky richness of oud and woods with warm spices, balsamic resins, a luxurious rose heart, and a bright neroli opening.

It is particularly suited to fragrance lovers who appreciate Middle Eastern-inspired oud fragrances, sophisticated woody compositions, rich spicy perfumes, and luxurious unisex Eau de Parfums.

A SIGNATURE OUD FRAGRANCE WITH A MODERN EDGE

What makes Dubai Black Sapphire particularly distinctive is its balance.

It is not simply an oud fragrance.

The opening gives the composition brightness through neroli. Saffron introduces exotic spice, while beeswax provides a warm, almost golden softness. Turkish rose then creates an elegant floral bridge between the brighter opening and the darker base.

Finally, oud, sandalwood, benzoin, Tolu balm, and vetiver create an enveloping foundation.

This layering gives Dubai Black Sapphire an elegant transition from citrusy and spicy → floral and woody → dark, resinous and sensual.
