At first glance, peace and New York City may seem like an unlikely pairing. Yet those who truly know the city understand how many opportunities for serenity exist within it. From the hushed grandeur of the Rose Reading Room at the New York Public Library to the medieval stone walls of The Cloisters, from the Brooklyn Botanic Garden to the quietly hidden streets tucked throughout downtown, the city offers countless moments of calm amid its famously energetic rhythm.
That idea was central to the creation of The Scent of Peace in 2006. As one of Bond No. 9’s earliest fragrances, it captured a side of New York that values balance, reflection, and harmony. Over time, it has become one of the house’s enduring bestsellers across every market, a testament to how deeply the concept resonated then and continues to resonate now.
As the years have passed, the meaning of peace has evolved. Today, it is inseparable from the notion of environmental responsibility and preservation. The Scent of Peace Natural reflects this generational shift in values. As Bond No. 9 founder Laurice Rahme noted in 2022, consumers no longer simply appreciate natural fragrances, they expect them.
The Scent of Peace Natural is composed using natural and vegan essential oils derived from raw materials. The result is a sophisticated, luminous fragrance with an airy effervescence, crafted to linger gracefully on the skin. It is a modern expression of peace that honors both the spirit of New York and a growing commitment to mindful, sustainable luxury.
