Vanagloria (Masters' Collection)
Vanagloria is built around the beloved vanilla bean but takes a sexy turn into warm leather and layers of mystical frankincense. Long-wearing, subtly sweet and spicy — on some a pure gourmand incense, on others a deliciously naughty suede.
From Dominique Ropion
"For the Masters’ Collection, I wanted to create a perfume that expresses all the richness of Vanilla and its multiple facets. This creation is built around an LMR Vanilla bean of sublime quality, of which I have amplified the most subtle tones. This Bourbon Vanilla, grown in the heart of the Indian Ocean, is extracted using CO2, a cold extraction technique that reveals the full spectrum of its gourmand, floral, leathery and spicy notes. Its leathery character is reinforced by saffron and its addictiveness by the tonka bean, while the enveloping layers of incense add the texture of a mystical aura."

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.
One of my favorite fragrances, so glad I decided to get this one. Light vanilla with incense.
This is truly the best vanilla for a gourmand lover. Every time I wear it people tell me I smell amazing. That is joy.
A very unique scent. The drydown is majestic. Shipping was so fast that I've gotten it within 2 days.
This scent has immediately become one of my top vanilla scents. It has a magnificent leatheriness due to the saffron and it's fruitiness adds to its seductiveness. If you're a fan of Nishane Ani or YSL Babycat, Vanagloria will certainly interest you.
Great packaging, fast shipping and premium samples included as a nice surprise.
