Bond No. 9 Dubai Garnet is a 100ml unisex eau de parfum that brings together rich red fruits, spice, florals and warm resinous woods. Part of Bond No. 9's Dubai Collection — a series inspired by precious gemstones — Garnet is a sumptuous, slightly opulent fragrance that wears well day or night.
About Bond No. 9
Bond No. 9 is a New York-based niche fragrance house founded in 2003, known for its distinctive star-shaped flacons and scents inspired by neighbourhoods, cities and stories. The Dubai Collection extends that storytelling beyond New York, drawing on Middle Eastern perfumery traditions of resins, oud, amber and rose. Dubai Garnet, launched in 2016, sits within this collection as the deep, jewel-toned interpretation of the gemstone's warm red character.
Fragrance notes
- Top: pink pepper, blackberry, bergamot, seaweed, cardamom
- Heart: rose, plum, magnolia, jasmine, cumin, lavender
- Base: amber, myrrh, vetiver, oakmoss, musk
How it wears
Garnet opens with a juicy, slightly tart blackberry-and-plum accord, lifted by bergamot and given gentle bite by pink pepper and cardamom. The heart is built around rose and white florals, where cumin adds skin-warm sensuality and lavender quietly anchors the bouquet. As it dries down, amber and myrrh wrap the composition in a glowing, resinous warmth, while vetiver, oakmoss and musk give a soft, lingering finish.
Who it's for
Dubai Garnet is a fragrance for those drawn to opulent, gourmand-adjacent niche perfumery — wearers who love rose, plum and amber, and who enjoy a unisex composition with real character. It will appeal to fans of jewel-toned, slightly oriental-floral scents who want something more refined than a sweet gourmand and richer than a typical designer floral.
How and when to wear it
This is a beautifully versatile fragrance: light enough for evening dinners and theatre nights, but warm and comforting enough for cooler-weather everyday wear. Apply to pulse points — wrists, neck and the inside of the elbows — and avoid rubbing the wrists together so the top notes can develop naturally. Garnet sits especially well on cashmere, scarves and soft tailoring during autumn and winter.
