003: Yuzu, Violet Leaf & Vetiver
Like the irresistible urge to dive into a pool when the sun is at its highest. Or a first springtime getaway to the Amalfi Coast, orange leaves crumpled in your hand.
This eau de parfum opens on sparkling botanical and zesty notes. Powdery hints of white flowers lend softness and elegance to this fun fragrance. Spellbinding touches of elemi shape the woody, musky overtones in the base. Slightly mischievous, a bit naughty, but forever fresh: this cologne in a nutshell.
Notes: bergamot, yuzu, violet leaf, jasmine, neroli, elemi, vetiver, musk

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.
It smells like summer. The opening is very citrus forward and tart but it dries down to a soft floral lemonade. It lasts 4+hrs on my skin.
Until I smelled this perfume, I did not have a good image of the scent of yuzu. This is definitely not an old-fashioned style yuzu scent.
When I purchased the sample, I was not interested in it. However, my impression changed when I tried it on. The violet and yuzu create a nice harmony and are relaxing.
After trying it on for a day, I felt relaxed. This is important. I think this perfume could be used all year round, not just in the summer. I tried on a sample so many times that I bought a full bottle.
003 is incredibly clean and fresh. It is a perfect balance between a watery and green scent with a soapiness that is very pleasant and clean. It is citrusy, with a hint of floral and vetiver notes.
This is very much a genderless scent; very neutral.
The scent is 10/10, but it is very much on the weak side--I sprayed more than double my normal amount and still have to actively hunt down the smell. It fades somewhat quickly too.
The scent didn’t agree with my nose. :/
