Marc-Antoine Barrois Sample Set
To celebrate the arrival of the entire Marc-Antoine Barrois collection, created in collaboration with perfumer Quentin Bisch, we're offering a *limited edition* sample set of all four excellent eau de parfums in the line, including Tilia, the first fragrance in their new floral collection.
B683: A modern leather for the true dandy, named after Barrois' birth date and the planet in Saint-Exupéry's The Little Prince. Saffron-suede swirls in a constellation of hot and cold spices, over a ground of handsome patchouli, oakmoss and sandalwood.
Encelade: Inspired by Saturn's geyser-rich moons and the fabled giant, Typhon, whose breath was believed to cause the eruptions of Mount Etna. High-contrast fresh rhubarb and smoky leather are balanced by vetiver, tonka and sandalwood.
Ganymede: A mortal so handsome he was abducted by the gods. Jupiter's largest moon. And one of the most sought-after scents in contemporary perfumery. An almost-metallic leather is softened by the apricot appeal of osmanthus, warmed with golden immortelle and freshened with salty aquatics.
Tilia: The name of an imaginary star that watches over our happiest days. A simple, solar and optimistic blend of honeyed broom, soft heliotrope and velvety jasmine sambac. Radiant sunshine, underlined by the smoky earthiness of vetiver.
FYI
Our limited edition Marc-Antoine Barrois Sample Set includes 4 x 1.5ml spray samples. The entire collection of Marc-Antoine Barrois eau de parfums and extrait de parfums is available here on our site, and at our store at 2408 Fillmore Street in San Francisco.

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.
