Sequoia in Rye
Here, a perfumer paints her dream of visiting the majestic verdant giants of the Sierras — evoked with dry woods, evergreen needles and a drop of eucalyptus fruit. Finished with a swipe of varnish and subtle infusion of rye whiskey.
From IFF & Scents of Wood
Lose yourself in a serene forest landscape. Sequoia in Oak opens with a burst of luminous elemi, like a sunbeam piercing through the tree canopies, as the crisp and clean aroma of fresh pine transports you to an evergreen escape. The base note of grounding Sequoia anchors the fragrance with a sense of grandeur and depth, like the towering giants of the forest while a woody embrace of Iso E Super supports the back notes with a sleek, dry, modernity.

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.
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 purchase 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.
I ordered a sample of this in the summer. When I tried it for a day in the strong sunlight and heat, it felt heavy and like I was in a tropical rainforest.
When the temperature dropped, and I started to wear sweaters, I wanted to try a new perfume. When I tried this perfume again, I noticed the warmth of the wood and how relaxed it made me, like I was in front of a fireplace. Wood and the not-too-sweet scent of rye whiskey were perfect for the fall and holiday seasons or any time you need a warm fireplace. It's also an ideal perfume for everyday use because it's not too sweet or heavy. However, although it's a scent that's good for relaxing, I don't think it's suitable for tense business situations.
It's a scent that makes a cold day more pleasant. It's a shame it's not available in a larger size.
This is an unusual one. I get many of the notes listed- olibanum and elemi, pine, amyris, and, importantly, the turmeric leaf. This smells foresty, earthy, and savory. It smells a little like I’m eating stew in the woods. I don’t mind it, though I’m not sure I want to smell like this. The savory aspect does mellow a bit over time. Worth trying!
It's good but then I smell something gross and sour and it just totally turns me off of it.
