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.
This fragrance starts out intense and dark and ever so slightly spooky, but once it settles and lingers on your sweater, it’s a lovely, cold weather incense scent that lasts all day and sparks a comforting nostalgia that evokes a cabinet full of antiques, and a pack of red tea lights left over from last winter.
Clue delivers again! This gave me such a specific memory of smelling the cabinet with all of our holiday candles in it when I was a kid. This is warm, spiced, and with a waxy fruity kiss underneath it all. A very nostalgic experience.
I wasn't sure what to expect with this one. At first it reminded me a lot of a Negroni, but as it settled, I got a lot of the church incense and it was so nostalgic to me. I could picture the green carpet of a church basement while at a reception for a wedding or funeral with the hint of incense and old building. It's hard to describe, but I can't stop smelling it.
Leaned more toward a cologne smell, very masculine, did not pick up much of the wine scent which was disappointing- very smoky and cinnamon. My husband however loves this and will be buying a bottle!
This scent is so interesting. When first sprayed, smells of cinnamon and a waxy candle. It then moves to a pickling spice and delicate pine. Its a grandmother's kitchen in the woods.
