An unusual and unique composition inspired by the artistic haven of Guéthary on France's Atlantic coast, where salty waves meet wild shoreline blooms. Maritime ambergris carries the essence of the sea, weaving through fresh pear blossom and vibrant marigold. The contrast of brisk coastal air and delicate florals settles into a base of creamy musk and smooth woods.
From Eight & Bob
Named for the seaside village of Guéthary on France's Atlantic coast, a historic retreat for the Parisian art world where salt air mingles with wild blooms. Ambergris from the Atlantic shore meets fresh pear blossom and marigold, creating a sophisticated contrast of maritime and floral notes. The composition unfolds into a creamy heart, before settling into an elegant base of musk and woods.

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).
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.
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.
