Corpse Reviver
Fzotic's Corpse Reviver is a Frankenstein monster gourmand!
"Corpse reviver is a re-interpretation of Cadavre Exquis, a limited-edition scent that I created in collaboration with the talented perfumer, Antonio Gardoni, a few years ago. It has become a cult classic, and we sold through our 99-bottle run very quickly. My new version dials back the animalics a bit.
I add a whiskey accord built on an extraordinary oakwood absolute produced by a great french essential oils supplier (sorry, nda won’t let me say who). This fabulously sticky, dense material is extracted from French oak and smells like bourbon and caramel. Corpse reviver is like a fruity winter cocktail made with an intense Italian amaro, whiskey, dark chocolate and a dash of our beloved civet." - Bruno Fazzolari

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 fragrance is very unique. It smells almost like an animalic Tootsie roll. This is my first time trying a fragrance with civet but it adds the animalic note that might be a bit hard to look past at first but then it melts into the skin and creates that warmth with the chocolate and whiskey notes and marries with your own chemistry beautifully. I very much recommend this if you would be into perhaps an almost semi-sweet gourmand.
I love the way this smells. Another reviewer called it a semi-sweet gourmand and that is spot on. The funk of the civet somehow makes the chocolate incandescent and it's delightful. Unfortunately it has no sillage. I put it on liberally, on moisturized skin, and I can barely smell it now, an hour later, even with my wrist right next to my nose.
This scent is sexy, dark, and bracing. It smells like sipping a drink in a plush leather chair at a dimly lit bar. It’s deep and brilliant.
