Black Frankincense
Regular price $ 155.00Avante-garde and unexpected - this minimalistic winter blend centered around frankincense evokes the richness of Dhofar against the simplistic vistas of the Omani deserts. The edges of black frankincense are smoothed out by warm winds. A skin scent that lingers in the embrace of nostalgia, evolving like shapeshifting clouds.

Signature Requirements
For delivery security, first-time orders over $125 and all orders over $200 ship with signature confirmation.
If you prefer delivery without a signature, you may request this in the Order Notes at checkout.

Sample Orders
Samples are designed to help you evaluate scents you might want to later purchase as a full bottle. You may order one sample per fragrance, up to 15 total in a single order. Samples are non-refundable.
For sample orders, please check your packing slip for a special code that will allow you to redeem the price of samples and sample shipping when purchasing full bottles of the scents you sample ($10 off full bottles).
Complimentary Samples
We provide complimentary samples with $75+ full-bottle purchases. You may request up to 3 samples with any qualifying order. Please use the Order Note section on the Shopping Cart overlay to let us know which complimentary samples you would like. We'll try to provide the scents you've requested, but substitutions may occur if items are out of stock.
Returns
We do not accept returns of perfumes, simply because perfumes can't be resold once they've been opened and used. We encourage you to order samples before purchasing full bottles of perfume. And here's the good news — with every sample purchased, we'll send you a coupon code that allows you to redeem the cost of the sample and sample shipping if you buy a full bottle of the fragrance you tried (in other words, you get $10 off).
Please contact orders@ministryofscent.com if you have a question or issue related to your order or shipping.
Thank you… picking up a lot of fig notes on this
This goes medicinal on me on the first spray. Smells like wet dirt and warm air on a cool day on the dry down. I don't hate it...but it's not for me.
I’m not sure what I was expecting.. maybe a bit more frankincense smell but all that I smell is dirt. Or bad dirt just fragranced dirt. Won’t buy again.
