Dubai Gold

One of the best sandalwood fragrances I've tried. The brandy is sweet and strong in the opening, but mellows out in the dry down, focusing on the sandalwood, cedar, and saffron. The oils in this fragrance are very high quality. A very dry, woody, and classy fragrance. The spices are blended very well with this fragrance. Lasts 8 plus hours with a medium to strong projection. Can be worn in dressed up situations, or going out when your dressed well. Unisex fragrance that leans masculine, but a woman can rock this one too if you're into very woody scents. As much as I love Bond No 9 and this fragrance, I personally think it's overpriced at retail, but when you can pick it up at discounters in the mid $200s, you're getting a very high quality fragrance. Looking to wear more from the Dubai line, as I believe it's a very overlooked and underrated line of fragrances. Overall: 8/10

I FINALLY got a this one thanks to my brother selling me his bottle. I've wanted this ever since the first time I smelled it but I'm too cheap to pay full price, or even half price. This is mostly brandy, saffron, bitter orange, woods and musk with a pinch of oud and ginger. I've tried almost everything from Bond because I'm a fragrance nerd, and this is in my top 5 from the house. The boozy musky slightly powdery woods in this one are magic ✨ Very unique; and performance is great with excellent longevity and sillage. Definitely not suitable for hot weather; only cool/cold weather, night out scent. The only reason this doesn't get a perfect 10 is it's friggin SWEET (in the opening) and needs time to calm down. Scent 9.7/10 Performance 9/10

This one is great, maybe leaning a little more masculine, but I can wear too with no hassle. Unlike many other Bond scents (there is a definite Bond DNA to many of the openings), this particular opening really does surprise you with the bitter citrus note right upfront, but it is no bad thing at all. It melts down quickly into a boozy incense ball of warmth and comfort which is just gorgeous! Imho, this is a very, VERY well put together fragrance, and absolutely worth at least a sample!!!

Bond No 9 Dubai Gold is a bold and long lasting lasting scent for mature fragrance enthusiasts. It is warm, boozy and spicy. The ingredients are top notch. I would never pay $600 for any fragrance but it is well worth $246. This fragrance is not for teenagers or those who have not started a Roth IRA. This is a grown up fragrance that commands presence and attention.

Absolute Gem 💎 Very reminiscent of Overture Man to my nose but the difference is Dubai Gold doesn’t have that musty nasty body odor smell that Overture Man has in the opening. Very boozy woody and sweet. Slight powdery as it dries down. 10/10 🔥🔥 YouTube: Sirgarythe1st
