St. Vetyver
St. Vetyver is a classically inspired perfume that pays homage to the Caribbean colognes worn by sailors of days past. The fragrance expertly blends a smooth vetiver with sunbaked citrus, sweet cane and a perfect dose of clove-spiced rum.
"St. Vetyver is a robust cologne. A high quality vision of vetyver set amongst Caribbean plants and objects. It pays homage to the famous Caribbean colognes of sailors and lovers of the sea. Pure aged distillate of Haitian vetyver is expanded with sweet notes of cane plant and spiced rhum. Fresh island grass and tropical citrus complete an elegant symphonic perfume. It’s classic DSD – old world updated to modern tastes." — DS & Durga

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.
I love vetiver as a base note so I wanted to try a vetiver-focused fragrance. This is just lovely. They nailed the description. It smells like warm, sweet dried grass/straw. It reminds me a bit of sweet pipe tobacco & I loved it more as it aged on my skin. I was worried it might be too masculine or strong based on a test strip, but it's amazing on & lasted almost all day without being overpowering. Definitely a new favorite.
This smells like Pert shampoo but fancy! Not a lot of projection or longevity but I’m excited to reapply it at the end of the day.
Got a sample of this in the vetiver set - didn’t expect to love a vetiver focused scent as thought it would lean too old school masculine and was really surprised by how much I love this. It keeps to the vetiver spirit but points it decidedly into the Caribbean and unisex category with the warmth that the cane and rum agricole bring.
