Bond No.9 has been bottling the scents of New York (and the Hampton's!) for the last few years, but now - a scent that isn't a geographical area. According to Bond No.9 "[Bond No. 9] has now taken on the greatest neighborhood of them all. It¹s the one that hovers over all of our city, the see-and-be-seen A-list place called peace--where we all want to thrive."
"New York has always defined itself by its derring-do and its clear-cut goals. Yet this hodge-podge multi-ethnic, multi-vision¹ed metropolis has also reigned as a place of tolerance and détente. It is a city built on non-aggression pacts that are cobbled together street by street, neighborhood by neighborhood. This is the way that New York thrives. Post-9/11 has defined us even more by our mutual conviction that the future of our precious city depends on world peace. Bond No. 9's latest fragrance, The Scent of Peace, was born out of this consensus that hovers like a balm (like a dove) over our entire city."
The fragrance is unisex and containes notes of Blackcurrant and Musk, and the bottle is decorated with doves. Bond No. 9 will donate $2 for every bottle of The Scent of Peace that is purchased to charity

  |  Well, well... a light marine-ish niche fragrance for the unknowing. This disappears on me after the first 10 sprays and I thought I doused myself in it. It was a lovely scent but it peacefully left. Comparisons to D&G Light Blue are quite accurate and I agree that it's softer and more floral.13 September 2008 |
 |  It's quite similar to Light Blue, minus the cedar, and Eclat d'Arpege, minus the apple, but the lily note makes it distinctive. This is an extremely lovely, uplifting fragrance that exudes joy. Lovely bottle, too!18 July 2008 |

|  Fruity and pleasant initially but doesn't seem to last on me (except for the musky base notes). Fares better and keeps its balance on my husband - thus the thumbs up. Still I enjoy wearing Scent of Peace for the first hour or two, and it doesn't bother me that it smells a lot like Light Blue. I'm not normally one to mix, but I quite like SOP best layered with Bond's Chelsea Flowers, which is pretty but a bit too white-flowery for my personal taste. The SOP bottle is lovely. 29 May 2008 |

| This fragrance was absolutely horrid on me. The drydown was remniscent of a brand of aerosol room spray a neighbor kid's mom used during my childhood in the eighties. Headache-inducing floral notes that would just not go away, much like my hyperactive playmate. I kept praying that it might transition to woodsy musk, but the flowers would just not relent. If you're into a long-lasting floral, you are getting your money's worth, but please, don't come over to play at my house. 10 April 2008 |

| I agree its a light like light blue. The dry down is the most important feature of this scent, and it smells exactly like light blue. Save your money and buy D&G light blue 04 April 2008 |
 | I'm not surprised: Yet another rip-off by Bond No. 9. This time Dolce and Gabanna serves as the prey whose ideas and creativity have been stolen. Except for the fact that Scent of Peace is not as good, it is so like Light Blue that it is difficult to believe that the bottle doesn’t turn red from embarrassment. Save your money and buy Light Blue — it’s better – more direct, less muted, and it’s just as unisex as this one. 22 December 2007 |
