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 purchasing 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.
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.
nicely packaged, loved the scents, moderate longevity. they were all unique from each other and i liked 5 out of the 6 but narrowed it down to just two for my own use. great sample set from j-scent. definitely want to get a full size of koiame and roasted green tea.
favorite scent: koiame
fruity with a hint of citrus, kind of a natural freshness to it, slightly floral.
notes from J-Scent:
"Top Notes
Apple, Peach, Bergamot, Mandarin, Lemon, Cassis, Green Note
Middle Notes
Rose, Jasmine, Magnolia, Violet, Water Lily
Last Notes
Musk, Cedarwood, Mossy Note"
Packaged nicely and the bottles were cute. I was very excited to try these scents and had been checking them out for a while however I personally just did not like them. They’re definitely a unique smell that i think perfume collectors would like i just dont seme them as wearable for me. Like ramune smelt like really chalky candy that didnt even necessarily taste good as a kid or like tums. Sumo wrestler smelt like sweat and cleaner. So they’re unique scents worth adding to a collection but in my eyes not wearable personally.
Lovely set of samples, packaged beautifully. Most of them light and inoffensive.
This set is a great range of some of their top scents - they're all quite subtle and lovely and completely different from each other. My current favorite is Ramune - effervescent and sweet (without being sticky/candy sweet) and fresh. I'm excited to wear the others (and trying to pace myself for maximum enjoyment). None stand out as overly masculine or feminine, which I love - just clean, fresh, and unique.
The item arrived in perfect condition and is exactly as advertised. I may not get a full-size EDP but that is exactly what discovery sets are for...to help you make choices like that. Honestly I really loved the Roasted Green Tea scent and am still trying to figure out if I make it last longer on my skin. Body chemistry is so subjective but was hoping out of the whole set I would be fully interested in at least one or two fragrances.
