Last Season
From Giuseppe Imprezzabile
Last Season was born from a trip to Sweden, to a place far away from the world. In those days of peace, beauty and friendship, I rediscovered for a moment that pure feeling that is our destiny: to always go deep into things, to experience them, understand them and rejoice in them, to venture into life. That depth is recounted through this perfume, which allows nature alone a voice. What does the voice of Nature smell like?

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.
The richness and complexity of this fragrance simply blew me away, (check out the list of ingredients). The name “Last Season” so perfectly illustrates the complex and realistic experience of a marsh biome in the late summer, complete with floral top notes, aquatic mid notes, and a mossy/earthy base. It opens up beautifully on skin and leaves a sweet/herbal sillage.
This is one of the most special fragrances I've ever smelled. It doesn't work on me, but in others, it is exceptional. It smells sacred like a ceremony and like stepping out in the woods afterwards. It has some suggestions of your grandfather's workspace in an old garage. It's such a compelling scent.
Think about fresh cut grass in a piney forest with some smokey wood burning in the distance. U might have just ran over a sweet floral flower and the wind blew the scent right before the smoke hit u
Likely one of the most off putting perfumes I’ve ever smelled, which is unfortunate. I love many of the notes in this perfume on their own and in combination: chamomile, laurel, pine, sandalwood, cedar, oak moss, myrrh, oud— but something about this fragrance was so pungent and unpleasant that I simply couldn’t find a single redeeming note. I let the test spritz sit for a bit to see if it developed (thank goodness I didn’t try it straight on my skin), but no: the same offensive impressive as strong as ever. I don’t have a particularly evolved nose so I can’t put my finger on what I disliked so much, but the perfume certainly didn’t feel like the voice of nature as the creative description says.
