The pineapple, bergamot, juniper berries, and currant buds are the opening prominent notes. The pineapple and bergamot create an intense, sharp, delectable, sweet, fruity, and citrusy note although the sharpness of the bergamot is short-lived. The juniper berry and currant buds add a berry, fruity, tangy, green, smoky, musky ammoniac note. As the fragrance dries down, the cedar and vetiver surface adding a fresh woody and green accord. The fragrance is relatively linear, the opening is intense, the pineapple and bergamot are sharp and delectable, but this intensity is short-lived, the juniper berries and currant buds develop, and their tangy green fruity smoky and ammoniac accord become noticeable, finally, the cedar and vetiver surface as support notes.

The Scent of Peace for Him Bond No 9 I came across SOPFH when I was purchasing a batch of decants from my regular decanter seller and he gave me a test spray from his SOPFH leftover decant. My impression of it was good in that it has the pineapple opening, fruity and quite musculine. Since then, I've been on the lookout for a decent priced FB/partial. At one point of time I was pretty hyped into pineapple opening scents and of date I have at least about 13 Aventus like alternatives and a couple decants including the impressive yellow bondno9.com which I'm still looking for a fb for a good price. So here it is my first bottle of Bond No 9. Wasn't much into the brand. Very nice presentation and box. Bottle looks good but being blue in color doesn't make it a blue scent. The bottle's thin width doesn't make it stand well especially if you like to display your bottles, it tends to clumsily topple. The Cap doesn't fit tightly and secures well, especially with that black clumsy bowtie there, even without it, it just sits on it and is kinda lose. The nozzle spray head seems kinda too low and close to the bowtie too, any sprays may get slightly obstructed by the bowtie so I rather remove the bowtie to do my sprays. The Opening, what an explosive clean, bright, refreshing pineapple, fruity but somewhat synthetic and this pineapple projects to impress only like probably 2 minutes and is literally gone and goes behind hidden into the background doing a small supporting cast role. I wish the opening from the immediate sprays can last longer, even 5-10 minutes would suffice. I read with interest all sort of bad reviews and criticism and some good ones. SOPFH isn't really projecting well off my skin, it's pretty intimate after the initial minutes. I did put in quite many sprays from the start. Perhaps I'm getting some Olfactory blindness now as I continue to sniff my arms I'm not getting strong whiffs of it but it's there on the skin. Maybe I'm in a pretty strong air-conditioned environment. I did went for a short walk outside to the gardens in this fine morning and it did seem SOP may be more suited to perform better out in the warmer and humid conditions. Nonetheless I'm happy with the smell, it's comforting, calm, peaceful. I feel the pineapple, juniper berries and bergamot combines in the opening and stays there intimately for quite a while as the currants buds gets the say and main stay as heart notes giving a not so sour and ammoniac like scent together with the opening notes. The cedarwood and Vetiver also emerges and blends with the currants buds and pineapple. I don't think Fragrantica has the base notes correct as the drydown here has a slight oakmossy musculine vibe along with some musk and patchouli. SOPFH isn't like Aventus except that Bond No 9 made it along the lines like a fruity type profile with musculine accords. The Bond digital bondno9.com has similar notes but is closer to Aventus. Scent of Peace For Him does suits many intimate settings and occasions where you don't want a scent to be dominant and offends. It has pretty decent longevity on skin. Just felt that the projectivity is pretty weak in cooler environments. SOPFM retails for SGD$596 locally here in Singapore and I don't think it's worth that price in retail. I'm glad I managed to acquire a new bottle at Usd$175 and it's mainly the brand that's being paid for because the juice itself probably isn't even worth this amount to be honest. But it's a good juice to wear, nice, Calm, comforting and peaceful, just can't smell much of it after a while. I suggest you try a decant first before buying.

For anyone having performance issues there are a couple of things you should know. #1. The Scent Of Peace For Him is a Tart Citric, Sharp Green fragrance. Therefore you will go nose blind to it. #2. The Scent Of Peace For Him performs best in Hot weather, & also in High Humidity. On Humid overcast Summer days & Evenings when its about to Rain, has Rained, or is Raining, this frag shines. In High Heat & Humidity The Scent Of Peace For Him projects so strongly it feels offensive. Now on to the Scent itself. The Earthy Greenness of the Vetiver, the Mild Piney Balsamic notes of the Juniper Berries, the Green aromatic nuances of the citric Currant Buds, & The sharp Citrus of the Bergamot all work together in order to enhance the Pineapple note & create a very authentic accord of a fresh, semi ripe, mildly sweet, Pineapple resting in a Cedar crate. Its like you literally picked up a Pineapple from out of a Cedar crate & took a sniff in order to check & see if its ripe for purchase. What you smell with The Scent Of Peace For Him is an overall accord that smells like the entire Pineapple from the hard waxy leaves of its Stem, to its Green, Earthy, intensely Citric, ever so slightly sweet Outer Skin. The Cedar note creates a soft woody creaminess that works to keep the Green & Citrus notes from being too overwhelming. The House of Bond done an excellent job of capturing the scent of an actual Pineapple with this fragrance. In no way, & at no point does The Scent Of Peace For Him smell like Creed's Aventus. In no way does the dry down of The Scent Of Peace smell like Dior Sauvage. For me The Scent Of Peace For Him is great for any occasion outdoors in High Heat & Humidity. Its a great fragrance that will garner compliments. I bought The Scent Of Peace in 2013 & I have over 10 years of experience with wearing's.

Scent of Peace This is one of those fragrances that has an adverse effect on my confidence. Pineapple, bergamot and juniper berries are immediately recognized. I see some say they don’t get good projection. I must have a rare bottle because the scent is letting me know “I’m Here!” The thing that baffles me about SoP, is that the pineapple is synthetic and somehow, still slightly authentic. Most synthetic pineapple fragrances have a screech factor. This is very mild, juicy and refreshing. The mid... I’m not even going to pretend I understand what Currant buds or baby leaves from Black Currant smell like. Moving right along... The Cedar and Vetiver in the base notes help to bring balance to the fragrance so it isn’t overly sweet. Scent of Peace is a unisex fragrance that leans masculine, in my honest opinion. It is definitely mass appealing and a safe blind buy if you like the notes. To take it a step further, it is back up bottle worthy and has DNA similar to Aventus. This fragrance is Spring and Summer appropriate, whether it be night or day. I say at the very least, if you’re into aromatic/fruity fragrances, get a sample and let me know what you think. In my writeups, I prefer not to talk about cost. Most fragrances are too expensive at retail, but between the gray market and second hand “buy and release” options, price is totally subjective. My honest rating: Overall Aroma: 8.5/10 Longevity: 7.5/10 Projection/Sillage: 7/10 Quality of Ingredients: 7/10 Overall Rating: 7.5 If you have a moment, please subscribe to my YT, Insta or TT @Fragrantology101 ~Aloysius Theosebeia (When your nose knows, it knows!!)

I have a pine. 🌲 I have pineapple. 🍍 BOOM pineapple pine. 🌲 🍍 Pine pineapple apple pine 🌲 🍍 🕺🪩🕺 This scent is so good. And this house is SO good. Scent of Peace gets a lot of comparisons to Aventus. I love Aventus, very much, so knowing that fact didn’t really inspire me to try this one. But ugh, I wish I did sooner. This isn’t honestly even similar enough to Aventus to be noteworthy or make any sort of comparison. But I honestly think I like this almost as much as Aventus, and I think it's a bit easier to wear. Performance is great. Musk is soooo sexy and pleasant. Juniper notes are extremely refreshing and not overwhelming. It just smells natural, uplifting, and beautiful. Extremely versatile. SoP makes me want to toss out the rest of my collection. I could wear this forever. I recently learned the history of the Bn9 house, and as a big Creed fan (*pause for booing to subside*) , it intrigued me to dive into this brand. The creator of the house was originally the US importer of Creed fragrances to America. A lot of their scents were originally sort of twists on Creed fragrances. If you love that beautiful Creed ambergris base, like I do, I can’t promise you’ll find the exact same thing with Bond, but they trip my trigger in a veeery similar way. On the whole, of those I’ve tried, they’re a little more modern, and a bit more subversive than your typical Creed, but with a similar classiness and gentle, cozy muskiness. I’m extremely excited to dive deeper into the house and pick up some of their other fragrances, but Scent of Peace is an absolute winner.
