Petrichor Plains
Regular price $ 240.00From Mihan Aromatics
A welcomed relief from prolonged abstinence. Drenched from the sky, an invigoration of wood and earth, asphalt and ash. Awoken, aerated, then released. A eulogy for long hot days broken with weighty rain. Outdoor showers absorbing a drink. Dormant rock and aching fields entering the ether and resting on skin.

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.
The name describes exactly what this smells like. Fresh rain over a plain filled with all sorts of wildflowers.
Had to keep this one sequestered from my other samples. It's much headier than others, almost musky and masculine beneath the high o-zone notes. I agree with other reviews that say it might be good for a certain person as a statement scent. I haven't even done a full day wear of it because just a spray on my wrist was quite strong and stuck around.
While it wasn't unappealing, it reminded me of a wealthy man's aftershave or a law office, not fresh rain on pavement.
Top notes conveyed that lovely scent of rain-soaked earth, but at drydown a strangely ‘off’ note crept in — maybe ‘industrial’, maybe ‘plastic’, maybe just ‘odd’ but not in a good way. Like the sound of a soft rain being interrupted by the noise of heavy construction. Not my style, but maybe a bold fragrance statement for others; YMMV.
Re Ministry of Scent, they are fantastic and I’d give them 10 stars if I could! Re Petrichor Plains itself – well, its top notes did convey that lovely scent of rain-soaked earth; but at drydown, a strangely ‘off’ note crept in, almost as if the fragrance were beginning to go bad. I couldn’t quite identify that intrusive scent – maybe ‘industrial’, maybe ‘plastic’, maybe just ‘odd’ but not in a good way. It was like the sound of a soft rain being suddenly interrupted by the noise of heavy machinery at a construction site. Of course, your mileage may vary; Petrichor Plains might work as a ‘statement’ fragrance for some, but it’s just not my style.
Nice!
