Dubai Ruby

Holy Sweet Fudge Chocolate - This is an awesome fragrance! My second purchase for 2020, I have already broken my no purchase resolution.There is always next year. This is a gorgeous, hauntingly and an exquisitely beautiful scent. I was in love immediately with the warm, exotic, spicy rose and geranium fragrance, the rose is alive and screaming your name to wear the heck out of it. This is my first in the Dubai collection, I am sure I will be buying more. I will be wearing it to bed tonight to see how long it last and will post more in the morning. Ladies and gentlemen if you can find this for a good price like I did, buy it, you will not regret it!

Dubai Ruby is a unisex sensual fragrance housed in a beautiful gold & red star shaped bottle; very nice indeed! It evokes a blend of East meets West on a hot summer night; I would swear there is a blend of gardenia/tuberose & rose in the heart similar to B9; again very beautifully done. I have sampled it a few times and am finding the longevity a little bit shorter than most Bonds; was it meant to be worn in Hot Dubai weather? I shall carry on using my sample until I understand the fragrance a bit better. I wonder if a Tola oil might become available in the future for cooler weather use to ensure usual Bond longevity. Thumbs up!

Wallahi!!! This has got to be one of THE most stunning rose fragrances out there. Definitely unisex. I thought, it was going to be sweet and cloying, but no, quite herbal, sweet but subtle - this is a safe blind buy if you're into rose/oud Middle Eastern combos. Not a beginners fragrance. Couldn't be more pleased with my purchase. Very, very happy. I agree with Peergynt who posted below; it's a true masterpiece.

Beautiful rose fragrance with other floral notes that airs out the rose so that it's not too jammy. There's a slight spice on the opening that gives this rose scent a little bit of complexity and makes it safe for men to wear. This is a special occasion fragrance. As a man, I see a gala, a ball or wedding as the events of choice. It pushes all day, skin or clothes. Impressive.

masterpiece. it is not groundbreaking or not discovering anything but doing its job perfectly. Herbal openings evolve floral and it is evolving into woody notes with saffron and rose presence. Amber reminds me of New York Amber and Sandalwood reminds me of marriage equality's creamy structure. It has bond signature and a greatly balanced and pleasant smell. i love it.

What’s with the dislikes?? I thought this scent was drop dead gorgeous at first sniff

This is a pleasant light scent for spring/summer, day and night. Very safe and friendly smell, totally unisex. It also has the Bond No9 DNA, which means that it reminds me various scents from the same house. So this is not a new smell for me. The mild spicy and powdery rose is the big boss along with saffron, geranioum and mild sandalwood. The castoreum is very safe and toned down and it blends nicely with the rest notes. As some reviewers say, there are traces of dark woody note, the Bond's "oud" at the background but it doesn't play big role. Performance is moderate overall. Longevity is above the average. Ruby is safe and pleasant but not something new or different.

This is a wonderfully complex and perfectly well executed perfume. I get a Musky civet with rose, saffron, sandalwood and lots of other lovely, luxurious things. I even get a hint of the sweet, synthetic oud, that Bond signature scent creeping in, as I do with many scents from this house. However, I'm not detecting anything which sets this one apart from loads of other decent, high end fragrances. The bottle is cool, granted but I still think the price is high, even for me. I'll pass...but I'm not dissing the juice it smells great.

Eh. Vomitous saffron-rose base. I hate saffron and this is some of the worst I've smelled. The rose note would have been more than enough. And this stuff is nuclear. Unbalanced and overtly spicy. Just awful.

Hmmmm...smells like a cross of the rose/oudish from oud ispahan with a dash of civit from leather oud...both by Dior and both so much better....smells good, but it's already been done... Smell 7/10 Projection 6/10 Fortitude7/10 Full bottle worthy...no thanks, nothing new and at 550$ it's ridiculously over priced. You could get a bottle each of the Dior, which are infinitely better, and still have enough for a nice dinner...

i can definitely smell the rose and the oud right away. I haven't worn it all day but it seems to be holding its own right now. I think u have to really have a nose for expensive fragrances to appreciate this one though. i cant say its my favorite out of the dubai collection but it's doing its job!

I got this as a gift from a now ex and you couldn’t pay me to wear it. It smelled horrible to me, I wish the person got the citrine or one of the prettier scents instead. I guess it’s the thought that counts but to think I would like it...did you ever really know me? 😩😩.

This is very similar to Bond's Manhattan to me. Just a tiny bit more animalic. I'm not a huge fan of Manhattan, but this is slightly more enjoyable. Lasts forever, of course, and BIG sillage. I can't imagine shelling out the extra cash over Manhattan though.

I like this but I can understand why it's not for everyone. One spray is all it takes as it is incredibly powerful. If Sasquatch went to Saks, he would grab a bottle. This is wild.

Alexandria Fragrances does this for 16 bucks with their perfume oil, White Oud. Extremely similar scent, performance, and quality. Just a friendly tip.

Very nice unisex rose for summer and spring. Difficult to dislike this one.
