Description
Dubai provides inspiration for the New York-based brand Bond No9 which promotes the Dubai Collection with three new fragrances Dubai Ruby, Dubai Emerald and Dubai Indigo in luxurious flacons with characteristic star-shape. The new fragrances arrive in transparent glass flacons in red, blue and green color, covered in gold color metal creating the shape of door on the flacon, which can be seen on beautiful Arabic palaces. Metal shuttering with its perforated slits create ornaments through which you can see the body of the bottle and discreetly passing light.
BOND NO 9 DUBAI INDIGO is an oriental floral fragrance enriched with fruity notes in the opening. The composition opens with a cocktail of litchi, peach and bergamot which sweeten orange blossom, jasmine and peony. The base is composed of white musk, amber, oud and moss. The fragrance is available as 100ml Eau de Parfum.
Dubai Indigo was launched in 2015.

Never been a big fan of Bond No. 9 before. I’ve smelled a number of their popular scents and they were just ok. Everything changed during a trip to Russia where I bumped into this amazing perfume! I was bewitched and couldn’t get it out of my head. I held back from buying it on the spot at that time cause of the high price. However I ended up constantly sniffing the tester throughout the day. After trying to control myself for a few months from spending a fortune on a bottle of perfume I eventually gave in and purchased a full bottle ha ha!
This smells so amazing! To me it’s like an oasis in the middle of the desert with fresh sparkling tropical fruits and flowers dancing around. It quenches your thirst and hits all the spots at the same time. There’s a heavy note in it that keeps it from smelling like a typical fruity floral and it makes it smell expensive at the same time. To me it is exotic and intriguing and I keep wanting to smell it. Very happy with my purchase! This is definitely something special.

Blind bought then returned it, thought I may like it, turns out I do not at all. Super ultra mega fem to me, it is strong but the flower that is strong in it, I just do not like at all. But it’s a very very strong scent for sure, if it’s your thing you can’t go wrong and will be happy, full price though, never! It’s very linear and I do not get anything musk at all, I prefer Amber.

From what I read this bottle must smell gorgeous and luxurious but I would never ever pay $200+ for a bottle of cologne ($160 would be my max) so I emailed bond no 9 boutique and asked for a sample and they told me they stopped giving samples due to overwhelming requests smh
Well then, I’m scratching this off my wish list and I’ll probably go look at some Arabian Oud.
Update- this bottle is freakin $550 retail. lord help us all

Sorry, but it smells like a cheap fragrance. Pear is very intensive. Test before buying.

An identical twin of The Fragrance Kitchen’s “Musky Ever After” except for the price !
(Its available at Selfridges if you wanna compare for yourself)
The bottle design is gorgeous but that price though …..

I’m a man’s man but I love this scent. It’s unisex but it definitely leans more feminine than masculine. I love to wear this with my pink or salmon pastel polo shirts.

This is the s–t and I’m glad I saw the YouTube reviews about it because not many fragrances are worth 550.00 but upon smelling this even after many forced sample cards from the sells rep at saks I was blown away and told her that this is why I came here. I couldn’t stop sniffing the card and though I didn’t buy it at the time, on the way home I kept getting wiffs from my inside pocket that over shadowed my ADP Colonia oud and smelled like everything I’ve been waiting for and I didn’t get feminine at all. I arrived at home and couldn’t get it out my mind as I kept picking up the card, needless to say I found a 15% off code I had and put it to use right away. The longest wait of my life and on first use I got so many compliments that I felt bashful, one women told me that this is get pregnant Cologne, Wow I’ve never got that before from anything. Thats My Review.

Somewhat against my better judgement while browsing other fragrances, I allowed myself to be accosted by a Bond representative. She was very nice but had an obvious and quite overbearing bias toward the brand. In a department store, despite the brand they represent an assistant should be just that, and assist you. I wouldn’t have minded so much but she used the usual, slightly disingenuous patter. However, she soon realised I was familiar with the Bond line and to me they are slightly old news. I understand the enthusiasm as Bond used to be exclusive to one store in London, now they have broadened out so everyone is keen to promote them as a ‘new’ brand.
Anyway, I was trying stuff from other houses and evidently wasn’t impressed with the ‘normal’ sufficiently high priced Bonds so was diverted (arm up my back, almost) to the even more expensive Dubai collection!
Ruby was okay but not really anything I hadn’t smelled before but… Indigo? Indigo definitely was.
The opening is like a wonderfully exotic, fruity lychee note. The whole experience is basically a clean white musk, sweet jasmine with lovely fruity notes that are kinda peach like but not at all cheap. I think it’s the juiciness of that lychee which remains for hours. You can tell there’s a middle eastern base of oud and amber, it’s very slight and subtle but extremely high quality and lasts very well.
I want to say Indigo is a touch feminine to start off but actually as it dries down isn’t overtly so.
I really like this and have to say that as far as bringing something slightly different to the arena, Indigo delivers the goods.
Some may consider this pricey for what it is and I’d have to agree but on a day when I tried a 50ml at over £500 this was a bargain by comparison.

I also love the fact that one can’t feel any Aoud in the composition… I guess it just binds all the notes together but is kept very much in the far background unlike the other reps of the Dubai line in BS9

I agree – magnificent – can’t take my wrist off the nose, went back twice to spray in the hand. It reminds me quite a lot of Burberry Women , maybe with a slightly spicier touch (uou could call in modern), maybe a bit bolder than British creation. I might go FB eventually , but need a more serious reason to spend in excess £400 on it.

This is probably my favorite fragrance from this house. I LOVE it, but on my wife it is just incredible, I wanted to bite her arm off smelling it – it is just amazing!
Sweet, peachy top notes with the most beautiful heart of Orange blossom and Jasmine, with a slight hint of peony.
Dries down to a wonderful sandalwood/musky smell with a bit of bandaid/rubbery oud. It is just perfect!

At first, I wasn’t a big fan because the fragrance was too light and too common for me. As it dried down, my opinion completely changed. I tried it on me and walked out of the Boutique; I kid you not, within 30 minutes, I had 5 different people come up to me and ask me what I had on!
I just called the store on Bond St, ordered it, and they are about to ship it to me.
Also, I wish they would show you the packaging of this bottle, TO DIE FOR!
