The Scent of Peace is along the same lines as D&G Light Blue, as others have said -- yet a step up. Instead of Light Blue, this is more Medium Blue to me -- it's "bluer" than Light Blue -- less musky -- more vivid and bolder than Light Blue.

The Scent of Peace is not particularly soft or languid, since it has a lot of grapefruit. If oversprayed, it can be strong and assertive -- must use a light hand. Yet, it's so beautiful, I never worry about people not liking the scent. It's a winner, and I always wear it with confidence. The bottle is *gorgeous*!

I wanted to love this soooo badly! The grapefruit scent is initially lovely, but the dry down is exactly like Tide!!! Sorry, not spending $$$$ for laundry detergent. :(

Very pretty scent. It's fresh and very easily worn. A good weekend or vacation scent for me. Somewhat similar to D&G Light Blue (which I also own) in the beginning but dries down to something more expensive and well constructed. Doesn't last as long as the other Bonds I have but it's versatile enough to layer with longer lasting scents. Think of it as Light Blue with less citrus and more subdued, calming notes. continued >>

A checkout girl blurted out, "You smell GREAT!" the other day when I was wearing this. I am extremely picky when it comes to perfume, so much so that in my whole life, there are only a few bottles I have bought. This is one of them. It has a grapefruit note, but I don't smell any grapefruit. I don't know exactly how to describe it except to say that it smells clean, like other reviewers have said. It may not last that well on skin, but I always spray perfume on my clothes so the scent stays around all day. To me, it does not smell like Light Blue. I've never smelled anything like this perfume. It is perfectly unique and not offensive at all.

This was my first Bond fragrance and my favorite. I get a bottle every year from my mother-in-law - these year she got me the SOP gift set with candle, perfume, body lotion and purse size spray. I get compliments on this one all the time and it lasts all day on me. The pretty bottle is a plus. I highly recommend this one to anyone looking for a more grownup yet playful scent.

This is a longer lasting Citron de Vigne. It's a fresh, clean, crisp beautiful scent, citrusy and sweet, with no cloying or sugary notes. I have Citron but it only lasts a few hours on me. Scent of Peace lasts much longer, but there is no significant different between the two scents. Do I spend buku bucks to wear grapefruit scent for 8 hours, or about 160 dollars less to wear it for 2 hours? I think I'll spend 160 dollars less and spritz more often.

Beautiful fragance!!!! classy, fresh, perfect for summer. The only disadvantage is the high price (160.00 $ for the small bottle).

I've been wearing this perfume for over 2 years now and I still get compliments on it. The scent is so soft, relaxing, and lovely. All you need is one spritz on your wrist or neck, it will give you a full day or aromatherapy. Simply perfect!

Beautiful, soft sexy scent. Very unique. Definitely has some unisex aspects to it but nothing too overpowering. Truly a peaceful and delicious fragrance!!

There are lots of sharp, zesty grapefruit scents on the market, but this one is SOFT and whispery, without the rindiness and tang. More like a grapefruit mousse.


Scent of Peace is a wearable grapefruit musk that sadly doesn't have much lasting power, as grapefruit notes are notorious for wanting to dissipate quickly. It lasted about 2 hours on me but faded into a pleasing skin scent that lasted a little longer.


For fans of light citrus fragrances-- if you don't like the snap and tartness of, say, D&G Light Blue or Fresh Hesperides, this is much softer, rounder, tamed, and calm. One could say it's "peaceful." :)
