Maison de L'Asie Curated Sample Set
Be the first in the US to experience the excellent Singapore-based niche fragrance house Maison de L'Asie with our limited edition sample set of five favorites from the collection. Created by Elizabeth Liau, inspired by her home country and travels in Indonesia, Thailand and beyond. It was hard to choose only five from such a rich line-up, but we gave it our best. Here's what the team had to say...
Bois d’Indonésie
"A very humid and tropical vetiver that evokes stepping off the plane on a tropical getaway and being hit with the smells of paradise. Delicious lotus flower and crisp vetiver." — Saúl, Valencia Street Store Manager
Les Soirs de Siam
"It’s the finishing touch before a fun night out with your girlfriends. Gorgeous rose, alluring incense and sexy ambrette evoke excitement and anticipation of a classy, glamorous evening." — Chelsea, Assistant Buyer
Les Nuits de Bali
"It's a warm summer night, and you're on a date with a handsome patchouli. The initial spices in the air transform into a sensual vanilla as the night progresses." — Michael, Fulfillment Manager
Lost Lovers
"Opens with lush green notes, evoking images of young plants unfurling in a forest... becomes richer and warmer, pairing the smoothness of sandalwood and amber with the smoky, sensual elements of vetiver." — Maison de L'Asie
Mother x Love
"We absolutely couldn't leave out the lovely and comforting first release from the brand, a sophisticated blend of soft white flowers, litchi, ginger, vanilla and musk. Created in loving memory of the founder's mother." — Antonia, Co-owner
FYI
The Maison de L'Asie Curated Sample Set is limited and includes 5 x 1.5ml spray samples. Available while supplies last.

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.
I would not have chosen any of these based on the individual descriptions, thinking they're too floral or 'not my style' - florals always seem a bit screechy to me - but each one stands out of it's own accord, sophisticated and confident and well grounded, which is very much what I'm interested in. Great Gen-X set.
