Bond no. 9 Scent of Peace Natural ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 11 April 2022 5 Comments

Bond no. 9 has launched Scent of Peace Natural, a new version of 2006's Scent of Peace.

Finally, the breath of fresh air we have all been waiting for! Introducing our very first all-natural fragrance.

Clean beauty isn’t just an ask, it’s a demand. Now, we present a graceful eco-chic scent alternative. Natural and vegan essential oils made from raw materials to compose a sophisticated, effervescent fragrance crafted to linger on the skin.

Scent of Peace Natural was developed by perfumer Michel Almairac, who also did the original Scent of Peace. The notes include lemon, blackcurrant bud, raspberry, rose, ambroxan, cedar and musk.

Bond no. 9 Scent of Peace Natural is available in 100 ml, $480 (although Saks currently has it for $408.)

    I’m baffled at the concept of “natural” ambroxan, which is entirely synthetic, not to mention blackcurrant and raspberry. I don’t think the word natural means anything any more. I also don’t see how this could be worth $480. I think I must be behind the times.

      Ambroxan, I guess, can be derived from clary sage…but the word natural does not mean the same thing to everyone and there is no perfume worth $480 per 100 ml imho.

      (But if they were smart, they’d list clary sage instead of ambroxan. Or just not list it all, why bother?)

      “Natural” is just a marketing term and has zero meaning in cosmetics or fragrances, because there are no widely agreed-upon industry standards. It can mean whatever the brand wants it to mean. I’m with Robin; they likely mean naturally derived, in this case, their ambroxan is synthesized from a natural ingredient, clary sage.

    480? Not for those notes lol. I agree that no perfume is worth that for 100ml. And I have never been keen on this line..I have sniffed a couple I sorta liked but generally I think they were already over-priced. This one takes the cake. The natural ingredients thing is being marketed like it’s a new idea lol.
