Rose Fantôme
Regular price $ 130.00An earthy and agrestic floral, a specter of its original softness still remains.
From Lvnea
Inspired by the Cimetière du Père Lachaise in Paris and its moss-covered stone and porcelain grave adornments, Rose Fantôme breathes not the fresh blooming rose but the one that has been cut, left and forgotten. Now one with its surroundings, it blends with the scents of dried grass and lichen, hay, and dirt. The scent of ruptured longing, refoulé into the mossy ground and captured by the abandoned rose.

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.
What an unusual fragrance! At first, it definitely smelled old ladyish, but after five minutes, it started to take on a comforting smell. Like finding a safe warm place in a bitter cold rain storm. You can definitely smell the dead leaves and the moss and just a hint of a faded rose. One could say it smells out-doorsy, sort of like a walk in the woods on a warm day after a heavy rain. Comforting is definitely the word that comes to mind, but in a strange uncomfortable way. Ive gotten some surprising compliments on it as well. I highly recommend this fragrance for the open-minded. It is definitely unisex as well. Truly a masterpiece of unusual perfumery!
Very bitter and green, the rose gets lost amongst the other notes for me unfortunately. I'll continue sampling this one and update my review if my opinion changes.
