Java Wood
Regular price $ 175.00Java Wood is a rich, dry, woody, earthy celebration of the bold vetiver that floats between the volcanic heat and rice fields on the island of Java in Indonesia. Bergamot, pepper and cumin add a little zest, and tobacco adds a bit of warmth to the woodiness. Look out for the interesting hint of licorice at the top.
From Mélanie Leroux
The little way sinks at the heart of the island. Rice terraces overlook the landscape. Its volcanic heat is suddenly flying away, letting the humidity of this green wood takes its place. As a simple grass bouquet, its humility seizes me. Its roots shape deeply infinite labyrinths under my feet. While closing my eyes, I am transported by this woody essence. The Wood from Java. Evasive and audacious."

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).
