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.

We'll try to provide the scents you've requested, but substitutions may occur if items are out of stock.
This scent is captivating. You smell the fruit and it lingers the entire silage. The mineral note is pungent in the best way, gives an almost blood type smell. This perfume has a very dark and sexy tone. Definitely recommend this fragrance.
I got this sample just to smell, expecting the stinkiness that everyone expresses in comments, but it ended up being one of my favorites. I liked it from the first whiff, immediately smelling the mouth-watering guava, wet moss, and leather. Got it on my skin and only loved it more. It developed into a silky warm incense when it dried, retaining the sweetness of the guava and losing the leather. Once it mingled with my body heat and scent, the sweet lost its strength to leave behind the wet rock, wood, soft incense, and the animalic notes. The animalic part reminds me of when my cat lies in a sunny spot and her scent is warm and cozy. None of it came off as stinky for me, but I also think cilantro tastes bad. So weird and cool how differently people experience things!
Bro this smells sharp, sour, and like wet dirt/compost, so literally exactly what it says it’s gonna smell like, not wearable but glad i satisfied my curiosity :)
The first smell you notice is a petrichor, deep cave soul smell, with a little bit of a twisty musk like if you ever stuck your nose in a squirrel hole like you see your dog do. Then the cave smell faded and it just had a deep clinging STINK to it. Kind of fascinating. Wearing this scent would be a serious style statement. But it’s kinda cool.
