Sweet Do Nothing
Sweet Do Nothing harkens to DS & Durga's visits to the El Cosmico airstream retreat in Marfa, Texas, with "...timeless hangs, orange blossom special, rock tank swimming, cacti, the life." This notably original perfume is a textural blend of neroli and orange flower with fig, cedar, creosote and water musk — floating in a soft cloud of nostalgic, bohemian incense.
"The lovely folks at El Cosmico have a way to describe the timeless coming together of nomadic friends in the high plains desert of West Texas – 'Sweet Do Nothing'. It’s a feeling that can be coaxed, but not forced. Things slow down, landscapes loom large, the far is near. This scent captures that hang – the tuning in among orange blossom, flowering cacti, Texas cedars, fig, and creosote." – DS & Durga

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.
You can wear two spritzes of this perfume and it’s still not to much. Soft and subtle, it smells like the calm smoothness of jasmine but more complex. Citrus fresh but with clothy, comfy, homey tones. You could wear it every day. I think it’s a more feminine scent.
This is a great, clean floral. To me, it comes off straight up gardenia at first (like a fresh one off the bush, not the scent) even though that isn’t in the description. The floral is balanced with a lot of green and it creates something very subtle and special. It smells very expensive.
I love the floral notes in this! I feel like usually floral scents are rose, lily, lavender, lilac. This doesn’t smell like anything I could grow in my backyard, and it’s gorgeous.
I love the peppery top notes that I smell first, and they balance well with the woodsier notes. I would wear this to work, to a summer picnic, or to a star gazing date.
