an Oriental of softer tones
Over the years I have found that I am a European: my dream destinations are all here on this continent. So I don't have to fly or drive far to be able to fulfill my travel dreams.
And yet there are exceptions: Morocco fascinates me very much, probably because of my cultural preference for "Al Andaluz". One without the other, I don't think I can do that here.
I would also like to discover the impressive garden of Yves Saint Laurent and the museum dedicated to it.
What attracts me to Dubai is completely inexplicable to me.
At the end of the eighties I would have had the opportunity to spend a very impressive week there with a "Madame" reader's trip.
But for the sake of peace I gave in to the constant attacks of my mother and did not book.
At that time we weren't the best friends anyway and she would have had to look after my apartment for that week.
In retrospect I already get annoyed; such an opportunity never arose again.
So it's no wonder that I get awake and curious about "Dubai" or the "Arab Emirates".
"Qatar" by Roja was bottled for me (thanks for that, you dear being!) and now I also received a bottle of Bond No 9 "Dubai - Ruby".
Oriental-woody: here, scent images of an opulent, heavy scent emerge immediately, sometimes even suppressing the wearer; often even her surroundings.
(How was the Pluto: "Next to me in the train sits a perfume: It carries woman!"?)
I like these heavy fragrance explosions, but Sweatsmells' response to my statement made it clear to me that many women don't feel this oriental force to be so bearable and therefore don't get the pleasure of this magic from 1,001 nights.
Now "Dubay - Ruby" is a quite easy Oriental for me: it seems quite shy to me and also remains quiet.
This does not mean, however, that this fragrance creation lacks the inner fire: the rubies mentioned radiate accordingly brightly. Only "Dubai - Ruby" goes its own way.
It's the beginning: Davana (always used as a fragrance in skin care products) has a valuable saffron aroma and is therefore somewhat peculiar.
Saffron, always felt a little dull, is therefore wonderfully compatible with bergamot - both do not exactly spray with liveliness.
Thus a smell picture develops, which does not radiate immediately enormously and some prospective customers therefore perhaps already less frightens.
The heart with a strong, fully blossomed and sun-kissed rose queen, still accompanied by the herbaceous rose geranium, gets an amazing touch by Magnolia's airy, slightly waxy tenderness.
As already in the prelude, "Dubai - Ruby" has a slightly muted effect here as well: somewhat spicier than radiantly floral is the previous fragrance: likeable quiet.
But now the Orient has its say: Myrrh and Cypriol bring full-bodied woody spice.
Cypriol, also called Nargamotho, is extracted from a papyrus plant and is thus remotely related to cypresses. That explains its superb wood nuance.
I remember reading that different peoples say: "A man who smells of Nargamotho can inspire every woman for herself"
(Well, let's leave it at that: It's not that easy now!)
Back to Fragrance: spicy wood and seductive amber notes, spiced up here with sandalwood, form the golden brown floating finale of this fragrance composition.
Because also the Zibetkätzchen crept by here only once purring, instead of snuggling comfortably around these Duftphyole.
In my opinion, "Dubai-Ruby" lacks the enormous scent fireworks that I always associate with the aromas of the Orient.
But that makes this fragrance work of art a very well wearable "Immergeher", which faithfully and pleasantly accompanies even through a long day.
I can well imagine the business look, even with customer contact. And as you know, I am very peculiar in this respect.
How it develops with hot-blooded creatures, I naturally do not know; I can write here again only from my own experiences and feelings.
It was an interesting experience to get to know one of the Bond No. 9 fragrances.
With these flacons I do not get along so; they are somewhat bulky to me!
I love the cuddly: flacons that invite you to touch them again and again, to stroke them.
So this encounter is also a short, but nevertheless remarkable one: this Oriental is worth a comment to me!
