The Language of Glaciers
Regular price $ 115.00The Language of Glaciers by Imaginary Authors starts with a cold blast of minty pine and a hint of petrichor, reminiscent of a wintery drive through the Sierra mountains. The softness of fresh snow is imagined in powdery lilac and the impression of frosted blue flowers. Window open, cashmere on.
From Imaginary Authors
“Let’s do marvelous things, says the glacier, sit with me and consider the magnitude of what we are capable of.” - Margaux Zweig
The Story
Have you ever stood alone atop a mountain with chunky snowflakes swirling all around? Such is the splendor you will experience within The Language of Glaciers, a romantic epic that reaches incredible heights and inspires one to leave no moment unappreciated. From the stillness of a moonlit snowshoe excursion to the rush of witnessing an avalanche safely from above, the recollections of our unnamed narrator will captivate you the same way the solitary song of the snow owl captivated them. Find comfort in the cold and begin to see the world from stunning new perspectives. Critics have called it “A slow-paced story that will burrow straight to the center of your soul” and “Sharp as ice and smooth as a glacial lake.”
When to Wear
Finally, a fragrance for the introverts. This is not to say you can’t wear it out but it will act like a trusted parka when you do, enveloping you in grandeur and wonder.
Perfumer
Josh Meyer

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 purchasing 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.
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.
I enjoyed im able to find samples of sents i want to try without needing to but a whole set
7.5/10
Wish there was more projection, but otherwise a wonderful fragrance!
Im not exaggerating when I say that this perfume smelled like straight cat litter. Cat litter that has that scent on it. At first it just smelled icy-ish and I had a visceral reaction to it as 'evil' and then a few seconds later I smelled like cat litter. I immediately had to wash my clothes.
