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 was not expecting anything mind blowing when I requested a sample of Hollyrose. We've all smelled the leather and rose combo right? But I was seduced by this very alluring perfume. The black current is like red wine, the rose is deep and dark red, the leather is very strong like the aroma of an old but in excellent condition vintage leather chair. The surprise of a feminine and very fragrant orchid note really sold me on this fragrance. It gave the perfume a seductive elegance that many in this mostly unisex genre are lacking. Now mind you my husband liked this perfume for himself as well and we will share our bottle (bought it here) and it is unisex by today's standards. I do like this for either gender, it really works. Very sexy, and it stands out. If you like to be noticed this is a good way to go.
Every time I spray this I'm surprised by how much I love it. The first smell was not love, but over time, I've come to love its soft spicy powder vibe and leather and rose mix. It's not a clear, young rose smell; it's something more complicated. I really can't put my finger on it. It's retro and 70s without feeling like an incense bomb. It's feminine in a way that a lot of perfumes aren't today. If I had the words to describe it I would.
Love it!!! Such a unique scent! And four whole samples too!
Turns out I am a sucker for rose scents, and Hollyrose will be a welcome addition to my collection which I worried was becoming a little predictable! I love that folks on Fragrantica say it smells exactly like the clean soap x leather jackets they grew up around in the 70s; I am a 90s baby who wouldn't know but I'd like to pretend! I'd say that the Dove soap comment I saw is only convincing if you push yourself to decide it's there-- maybe if they'd said shampoo I'd agree more. As a longtime wearer of Tom Ford's Tuscan Leather I immediately felt a familiar comfort in the big leather notes but appreciate the introduction of rose and black currant to bring a bit more refreshing naivety to the vibe. You wear Tuscan Leather to embody the know-it-all sexpot who isn't concerned about whether they've showered before a first date. The person who smells like Hollyrose is just as hot and wears the same amount of leather but they've thoroughly scrubbed themselves head to toe before going on that same date because trying is caring! It's refreshing to bask in that kind of hope and effort. I love this.
This scent was a bit too masculine and strong for my liking. Not a bad scent but just not for me.
