Dubai Platinum
Bond No. 9 (2018)

Dubai platinum & Governor Island by Bond no 9 smell identical.

Both have a long lasting incense accord which is churchy and austere. Perfect for Lent & Easter wearing 🙏🙏🙏

The bottles and prices are different but the juice is the same.

Get the cheaper one…

Fantastic!
For me comfortably familiar, it reminds me a lot of an old (discontinued) favorite: Gucci Pour Homme 2003. They both have in common: Pepper, Papyrus, Ginger (and though not listed here on the Gucci) Oud wood.

It is a very pleasant sandy, warm, woody, mysterious, like the smell of a large comfortable private library, or.. Mike Brady's Den.
Strong in the slight pleasing pencil-shave base but surprisingly little silage! (a good thing if you ask me,..) I am glad to have received a surprise sample when buying some vintage Serge what a nice pleasant winter fragrance.
