Monserrat
Regular price $ 135.00A fresh burst of green over musky grapefruit and osmanthus. Named after a paint color, Fzotic's Monserrat debuted at Jancar Jones Gallery, Los Angeles. It appeared with paintings in soft green, warm ochre and dusty orange. "I was thinking of worn and repainted urban walls and the matte surfaces of Italian fresco painting, which is the origin of the fantasy note 'setting plaster.'" -- Bruno Fazzolari
From Fzotic
Among our top sellers, year after year, Monserrat opens with juicy grapefruit and the soft warmth of apricot skin; sunny, relaxed notes that feel immediately inviting. Green leaves add freshness, while an unusual wet-plaster accord gives the scent a modern, artistic edge without ever dominating it. Osmanthus and carrot seed bring quiet depth, rounding the fruit with a gentle, tea-like warmth.
As it settles, Monserrat reveals a cheerful, bubbly muskiness reminiscent of a crisp white wine spritzer. It’s cheerful and refreshing; an easy, luminous scent that fits almost any moment.

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.
Stunning, full bottle worthy
Spectacular fragrance! Great service shipping was fast
Imagine being 15..summers at the cottage..walking to the lake with friends, hot asphalt under your bare feet, a canopy of trees, buzzing with cicadas, overhead..that lake smell on the breeze, and all the possibilities..
That's exactly what this smells like... citrus fresh with greens and that warm asphalt smell..it smells like shade, on a hot day. It has a beautiful fresh, soft green drydown and I love the nostalgia of days gone by that it evokes. It's what happiness smells like..
The performance is also very good. The drydown is everything.
I recommend for the unconventional perfume wearer who isn't looking for a department store scent.
Amazing fragrance. Bravo!
This is a wonderful scent, though I personally wouldn't wear it. It is a genderless, clean scent where I couldn't necessarily pick out the component parts listed, but as a whole it is very pleasant. It's giving expensive hotel.
