The smell of soft serve ice cream eaten at a fairground, intermingling with gasoline from the rollercoaster engines and wood from a boardwalk. A truly unique gourmand, for those who want to smell sweet and nostalgic, but also want a sophisticated fragrance.

From Scout Dixon West
Like a waffle cone crushed under a rubber boot. All the sugary treats of your childhood combined with the gasoline of the fairground's machinery. Beautifully nostalgic and a little bit perverse. The complicated magic of youth. From the top of the roller coaster, you can see everything, for a moment. An innate but ineffable understanding that everything you taste will change you, that you will be changed.

This was really hard to develop. There were maybe a dozen versions of this that didn’t turn out. At the last minute, we came up with a crazy plan as a Hail Mary: get the perfumer to come up with an innocent vanilla, modeled on recent Guerlain releases, and then, f*ck it up and make it raunchy. That resulted in the final product. It was also the idea that made us want to start the line.

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.

Nostalgia in a bottle

This is the one for me! I cannot wait to get a full-size bottle. This perfume reminds me of the dolls I played with as a child with scented hair giving kind of plastic vanilla vibe. The dry down then takes me to when I was a pre teen, given $20 with my brother to explore the Atlantic City Boardwalk while my mom hit the casinos.

Give it time!

At first, the styrex smell is very gasoline-forward. But after about 15 minutes, it settles into your skin and the warm vanilla emanates. I've gotten many compliments from men in particular. They smell the sweet vanilla, but can't quite put their finger on the underlying, addictive note.
