L'Oblio
From Giuseppe Imprezzabile
I was in Cambodia, a long journey sailing down the Mekong, in search of forgetfulness as salvation. The banks of the great river, the spring dry season, light and shining notes of helichrysum, frankincense, and orange open this flow in a golden river, a luminous labyrinth of the soul. The arrival at Angkor Wat, the sound of drums in the night, overpowers the silence; it is the dawn of a new day. L'oblìo tells the story of man's journey, in search of forgetfulness, Tiziano Terzani, as a spiritual and literary guide. An invitation to travel, to me, an ever closer bond with the East.
From Meo Fusciuni
The memory flows slowly, among the vegetal and smoky notes of Mate Tobacco, the welcome of Iris speaks to the soul; by now, we are in the heart of Oblivion. When the long journey is about to end, the sweet woody notes of Sandalwood and Palo Santo bring us back to the depths of balance. Only the sunset is missing to define the end, but oblivion remains, like an eternal scent, like dust in ancient temples. A perfume that not only tells of a journey but celebrates a close link between memory and forgetfulness. Oblivion (L’oblio) is a spiral of stillness.

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).
