The Scent of Peace

The Scent of Peace by Bond No. 9 is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum from 2007 in the luxury price tier. It opens with blackcurrant and grapefruit, moves into lily of the valley and jasmine and dries down to musk, amber and cedarwood. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

Blackcurrant Tart, dark and slightly catty. Adds bite to florals.
Grapefruit Bitter, slightly sweaty citrus. More grown-up than lemon.

Heart

Lily of the Valley Clean, green, dewy floral. Reads as 'fresh laundry' to most people.
Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.

Dry-down

Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
