Sogni
From Meo Fusciuni
Sogni tells of that moment suspended between dream and reality, that moment when our mind and heart are still in a distant place, and we feel lost, confused as if suspended...The opening notes of Sogni are a Tatami, wood, and Japanese pine needles; we are in an ancient ryokan in Kyoto, and the rain has stopped falling. A bowl of hot rice is beside us to remind us of life's simplicity and purity. Our attention is brought to the nose by the green, clear, and transparent note of a bamboo forest; the flowery note of Peony is an emotional haiku. An instant that preludes the awakening of the soul from the dream. Finally, the lights of this dawn envelop the woody notes of Sandalwood, Cedar, and the typical accord of the Kodo ritual, incense. A journey into the beauty of Japanese harmony.
From Giuseppe Imprezzabile
With Sogni, I told my love for Japan, my memories of past travels, my passion for Kawabata's literature, Kurosawa's films and bonsai trees. I tried to tell a new story with a warm woody perfume, my Japanese dream. One day, a long time ago, I thought or dreamed of being able to create a perfect woody perfume where the different woods would tell the story of time, of the passing of life itself, again a challenge, a perfume that could be unique, exciting, and involving. Sogni is the realization of my desire, an immediate experience, incredibly close to reality and the nature of things. Aesthetic devotion to nature. This perfume is dedicated to my great friend, Makoto Horisaki.

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.
The rice was prominent for me; it’s soft and carby, if that makes sense—almost milky. I caught the green tea as well. If you like J-Scents Roasted Green Tea this might be up your alley.
