The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2006, The Scent Of Peace by Bond No 9 is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance for women, crafted by perfumer Michel Almairac. This composition opens with the bright zest of grapefruit and black currant before settling into a heart of lily-of-the-valley, which adds a soft floral touch. The base notes of musk and Virginia cedar ground the scent, creating an enveloping warmth that feels both comforting and serene.
Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points. The bright citrus top notes are most noticeable initially but will fade into a more intimate floral-woody blend after an hour. This fragrance is best worn during cooler weather when its warmth can be fully appreciated.
