Dubai Amethyst

What a deliciously floral, spicy, tobacco fragrance! This is rose done excellently. Even though DA leans very masculine, I feel incredibly sexy and alluring when I have it on. DA is silent confidence.. you have your shit together, and you always walk upright and with purpose. I’m not a huge fan of rose, but as I said, this is rose done right. I layer this with Oud Satin Mood being at the base, and wow... you’re literally unstoppable atp. I would spray both light handedly, and reserve for nighttime/cooler months.

Definitely my favorite from Bond No 9. The opening is a bit off putting with the dirty/earthy tobacco smell, but it quickly fades away after about 10 minutes or so! Then you get this smooth/clean luxury lotion type smell. Although coconut isn’t listed, I get a beautiful coconut smell. Maybe it’s from the florals. I wore this the other day to an outing with friends and their spouses, the entire group was complimenting me on how good I smelled. This is an easy to wear fragrance that works in any occassion

I would put the tobacco at the top of the notes pyramid, it is dirty, ashy and muddy, but thankfully it fades out to quickly. It gets creamier, coconnuty at mids, and becomes a masculine fresh scent till the end. Very unique, seductive yet easy to wear. Long lasting, mild projector. Worth a retail price? Definitely nope. Worth discounter price? also nope. Worth a tester bottle, heavily discounted at 200-$, absolutely!

Very elegant tobacco center fragrance that feels unisex to me. It's not aggressive or heavy and although I tried it twice in the cold, I feel like I could wear it in warmer temps. Tobacco is dry, dusty, with an earthy patchouli backbone. After 5+ hours it's taken on more woody characteristic reminiscent to the Tam Dao EDP. Another great option from Bond. Scent 8/10 Performance TBD

Love this one. An awesome smokey amber/vanilla. Great for any time of day and season, truly unisex. Sadly, it doesn't project much or last long on me.
