Memoria
Cold stars gaze down from behind an ancient moon, glittering within an endless black sky. The cold sighs across bracken and moss and needle as gold filters through fog rolling in from the Pacific, an awakening as ageless as the world.
A spirit belonging to a specific place is known as the genius loci. The towering redwoods remember its name. To be used in work involving envisioning, purification, clarity, oversight, divination and forest magic.
Enchant wrists, neck, candles, hands, tools, mirrors, cleansing waters, wood, stone, foundations. In offering, Memoria belongs to the Old One, the Ocean, Fog, evergreens, genius loci.
Notes: fir*, fog, juniper, wormwood, cypress*, smoke, cedarwood, amber and vanilla†.
*Memoria contains real evergreen absolutes. May color fabric.
†Synthetic reconstitution of an endangered species.
Created by San Francisco-based perfumer, Mauricio Garcia.

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.
This perfume is in my top 3, and I’d take it on my ‘deserted island scenario’. It’s stupidly gorgeous and all my perfume head friends geek out when I share it with them.
It’s got the aura of ‘forest-vanilla’ but I wouldn’t call it gourmand. It’s more ethereal than sweet.
It smells like the ghost of a girl on a backdrop of peaceful foggy woods. Dreamy,, and deep.
Refreshing, light, crisp, unique and regional
this scent smely like a yummy tree. It was really good, but there needs to be some improvement and power in the sent note. Would buy again though.
Didn’t smell good
