It was the end of the 90s, and Detroit was pummeled by a snow storm as panic ensued over Y2K. Were the heat and lights ever gonna come back on? Refuge under a cozy blanket with a mug in hand.

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.
I’ve tried over 20 fragrances in the last 5 years - a lot of which are winter themed because of my heavy interest in gourmands and spices etc. anyway/ I’m also a nerd huge into the idea of stories and books 📚 and hearing what goes behind a persons idea into why they do a particulars thing. I’m from Michigan, grew up in the 616- I’ve moved a lot more than I care to admit and I’m only 22. Now I’m in another state (still up north) but nothing like MI. MI felt a lot more diverse , fun, intriguing, conflicting, all at the same time and in a good way. Everything about this scent gives me childhood memories but in a mature, yet some how 50 years olds than I am vibe, mixed with a spiked eggnog and cardomon that tends to be the star players of this scent- last a decent while and projects decent too. My only complaint is that I’m a WHHH000554333 for lonnnnng lasting fragrances, and while this is, I find myself going noseblind to it quite quickly- and it makes me sad, but I find myself using this the most the last week or so since I’ve had it, and again, my collection is composed mainly of winter style fragrances , but this one has to be my #1, I’ve only had it a short while but I plan on another full size or two bottles just in case as a backup because I know this juice is gonna be running out a lot faster than anything else I have
so warm and cozy smelling, i can't wait to wear this in the winter
I wish I had discovered this during the holidays, it smells like the holidays in the best way possible.
Big warm spices in the open reminiscent of sarsaparilla, cloves, and root beer.
Soft and fuzzy in the dry down. Like drinking eggnog while walking into Michaels craft store past the bags of pine cone potpourri. Def only wearable in the fall and winter. Cozy!
Smells good
