Olfactory Digressions: Ca So (Limited Edition)
A hat for a perfume or a perfume for a hat ? CA · SO is a new way of wearing both in one and connecting with nature in an intimate and direct way. For this original and unique collaboration, Ernesto Collado of Bravanariz has created a curious mix between fresh and warm, eminently aromatic and with a sylvan (woodsy) touch. Made with fir, pine resin, lavender, lemon, sage and wild harvested rosemary. All this inspired by the plants that accompanied the creators of SUPER DUPER HATS in Italy since their earliest childhood and with the will to turn the gesture of putting on a hat into a powerful aromatic journey that invites us to go out there and enjoy nature.
VERY LIMITED SERIES (90 numbered bottles), of which we have been allocated 12 for the US market. We have a small tester in the store but are not able to sell samples.
Ernesto's thoughts on the ESSAIS: "Digression is a literary form that departs from the central story. Hence, an eccentric form. In my career as an artistic creator, it has always been a form of resistance. Single thought is more comfortable but is enormously simplistic. The digressions assume and celebrate complexity, producing richness and nuance.
On this occasion, and with that spirit of search, we have collaborated with some of the best hat artisans in Italy, to create something absolutely new. A new concept or use, both for perfume and for the hat. A wonderful adventure that has given us two unique creations that are worn and enjoyed together.
Again, an invitation to surprise, to detour, sometimes long, sometimes, why not, a good unexpected shortcut. Our Olfactory Digressions take the olfactory experience further, going off the beaten track to have more references and promote a richer, more varied and intense olfactory culture."

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).
