Rock River Melody
Regular price $ 260.00Rock River Melody is a rich, complex fragrance of sharp green notes and spicy woods with a hypnotic, endlessly lasting amber base.
From Regime des Fleurs
A muddy ride on horseback in sparkling green Fontainebleau forest. Leather grease on metal. The heavy bass of hip hop collective Odd Future. Woody, sharp, masculine elements.
From Christopher Niquet & Alia Raza
For a pony named Rock River Melody. Christopher and I worked together to capture that feeling of striking out into the outdoors for the first time after a long winter. Crisp spring mornings with young leaves on trees and flowers just beginning to bud. We envisioned the magic of the ancient forest of Fontainebleau outside of Paris whose vistas have been captured by artists and inhabited by French aristocracy for a millennium.

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.
This is lovely and delicate. It went immediately on my full bottle list.
I purchased the sample, I heard about the scent from a YouTube video. It is a beautiful sent once it mellows a little bit. Fresh on the skin.. It’s a little intense. It grows on you, and I may purchase in a larger size. It definitely gives unique signature scent vibes. I’m so glad a sample was available because there was no way I was going to be able to try the scent in store. It makes me think of rich vintage 60s authentic princess vibes, with a subtle moodiness.

It's kind of astonishing how off the notes are from the actual scent. It has an overbearing almost powdery dryer sheets smell. It's all floral/rose/clean - there's nothing green or woody about it.
