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.
It's 41 F outside, slushy. Neither a woolen jacket nor a scarf saves me from the humidity. The car service is somewhere on the outskirts. Everyone is changing tires for winter tires, and so are you. You stand, waiting outside, while you're getting new winter tires put on your car, shuffling from foot to foot from the cold.
It sounds the same as in the pyramid: rubber, leather, vetiver, patchouli and spices. Tested it at +20 C, maybe it plays differently when it's hot. Over time, the flavor sweetens and becomes quite wearable men perfume
Like a sliver of steel, I was magnetically drawn to this jetblack bottle resting on a shelf, as if awaiting my arrival. Yet I hesitated a moment to take in this small shop, which as much resembles a mystical museum. Art and scents merge. You’ll giggle at the whimsy of the art installation at the top of the ladder in a corner of the shop. Venture downstairs for a recreation of a well-known musician and scent pioneer’s Paris apartment. You can almost smell the sophisticated dust gathering for future scent appearances. So, did I indulge? Absolutely. #54 is a part of my daily regimen. I think the Icelandic Alpine fir and dirty leather notes join the rest of the mystical brew for a scenterrific sense of assault and delight on your senses. 😎👍
An absolutely captivating scent--unique in every way. Many compliments have come my way when wearing Fischersund No. 57--grateful to find this wonderful scent!
Good sample sizes for testing new fragrances and not too expensive at $5 for each. This one is my favorite out of 4 I've tried.
This smells great on my husband, and I've smelled nothing like it. It's dark and woodsy with a chemical note that reminds me of motor oil. In a podcast, Jónsi described this as probably the brand's most "brutal" fragrance which was partly inspired by their father's blacksmith workshop. For my husband, it's not an everyday scent, but he enjoys wearing it. He says it reminds him of cedar.
