Couleur Primaire
Aldehydic and fresh, Couleur Primaire is a clean laundry scent made more interesting by the addition of crisp pear and dewy peony.
From Les Eaux Primordiales
Reminiscent of freshly washed laundry drying in the open air. The scent of cleanliness gives way to reassuring notes of a childhood pear sorbet. From that moment forth we’re enveloped in a bath of addictive freshness. This bouquet of jasmine and musk aldehydes is a veritable antidote to the Sunday night blues.

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.
Love this light, fresh scent. It’s a weird combination and for some reason it smells really nice to me.
This scent is so fresh and up-lifting. I wish I could bathe in this everyday. It does smell a little like laundry detergent which is an absolute plus because I love the smell of cleanliness. I can't stop smelling myself when I wear this. Will be purchasing this scent asap
This smells amazingly beautiful on the paper! However, on my skin, it turns very aldehydes like Chanel No. 5 for first 30 seconds then it turned to Tide with Bleach for good 3 minutes, then nice white musk. Bleach smell didn't cause any headache, I felt this is safe fragrance with dynamic journey.
Impressive clean aldehydes, because Chanel No. 5 smells like oily skin on me.
Compare to Le Labo's Aldehyde 44, this is very clean aldehyde, almost no flower and very unisex on my skin. Also, the bleach smell came back when I was not expecting, like kindly wake you up. I like aldehyde but hate the oily skin smell, so this fragrance had solved my problem. Its fun to smell the Bleach between aldehyde and white musk. Totally recommended!
It smells straight up, sterile and astringent like Tide. If you want to smell like Tide then this is for you.
