Les Eaux Primordiales Discovery Set
Regular price $ 55.00Founded by Arnaud Poulain and based in an historic castle built in the 1800s known as the Primordial Estate, Les Eaux Primordiales is a "traditional and visionary perfume factory," where the invention of the perfumes is a collaborative effort between Poulain and his former teacher, perfumer Amélie Bourgeois.
“We don't create a perfume. We invent a perfume. For this inventor, everything starts from the dream. After the dream, comes the surpassing of oneself. Then follows an ever new and sensitive creative process that shapes a radically original product. To live your life is to take your dreams by surprise."
It is with these words that Arnaud Poulain explains the genesis of his collections which he invites us to interpret.

FYI
Les Eaux Primordiales Discovery Set contains nine generous 2.5ml perfume sample spray vials. The set is housed in a reusable magnetic box with a unique "soft touch" texture, no doubt a nod to Poulain's background in mechanical engineering.

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.
