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.
Smell attractive but not bold. So be aware
Love definitely buying the full size
Smells like clean skin without smelling like soap. Creamy, velvety, super smooth, and it just gets better the longer it’s on you. Very subtle and quietly sexy. I love it
So so good. Smells creamy, woody. Almost beachy in a way. Never smelled anything really like it but it works
This fragrance opens with a burst of fresh peony, to crescendo with almond and sandalwood to create an early sharp round. A sliver of musk rushes in but then so does the base note- basmati rice with a fresh warm skin scent that settles in and holds strong. The bergamot, like a quick lemon, keeps things bright while the sweet strength of Cetalox carries our rice sweetly to sleep.
I love this scent. I love this scent so much I cannot allow myself to purchase a full bottle for fear of overindulging it. This scent is so specific and insistent that I need to keep it special, it must remain a mystery. I fear it must be a love lost and chased rather than allow it become the death of me.
While it elicits too much of a fiendish response in me for me to wear it often myself, I would love to catch a glimpse of this sexy beast in the wild.
