Les Bains Guerbois Discovery Set
The Les Bains Guerbois Discovery Set includes samples of nine of the most stunning fragrances from the exceptional French niche fragrance brand Les Bains Guerbois. Each fragrance in the Les Bains Guerbois Eau de Parfum collection represents a specific year, story, or guest of this legendary Parisian destination. The collection features works from perfumers Michel Almairac, Dominique Ropion, Fanny Bal, Bertrand Duchaufour, Jérôme Epinette and Dorothée Piot. The scents are notable not only for their meticulous blends and remarkable quality on skin, but also for their daring compositions, where unexpected ingredients are combined to create impeccably refined and totally original perfumes.
A wild and storied place, Les Bains Guerbois was founded in 1885 by Auguste Guerbois. It began as a luxurious spa, where high society rubbed elbows with artists and writers such as Monet, Renoir and Proust, a period captured in scents 1885 & 1900. In 1978, it morphed into Les Bains Douches, a world-renowned nightclub with a guest list including David Bowie, Iman, Mick Jagger, Grace Jones, and Prince; 1978, 1979, 1986, and 1992 are all tributes to this decadent period. In 2015, Les Bains transformed (again!) into a chic 5-star boutique hotel, club, and spa. This most recent period of transformation is captured in 2013, 2015, and 2018.

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.
