Papillon de Nuit
From Lvnea
Determinism stitched in wings
That, t’wards beloved, soar through air
The cordial tug of the sweet thing
Sets fire to moth’s wing-spanned hair.
Drape yourself in the fluttering expanse of finespun wings and lunar opalescence, inspired by the secret world of moonbeams, night-blooming flowers, and their delicate nocturnal pollinators.
Like butterflies, papillons de nuit (french for "night butterflies", — moths) are indispensable pollinators, gorged on nectar and saddled with pollen. Because of their poor sense of sight, these fragile creatures rely on the potent fragrance of nocturnal blooms to find them, as well as on the milky-white, moon-reflecting surface of their petals.

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.
