Rasei Fort writes about Qahwa: "The perfect reunion. Warm. Inviting. A rich and complex aroma inspired by centuries of wisdom and sharing. Only the finest beans are roasted over woodfire in the heart of the desert to produce the perfect cup of Qahwa — Arabic coffee. The staple of local hospitality.
Beautifully exotic. The aroma of natural coffee extract, blended expertly with subtle notes of cardamom and select spices, round the experience into a ritual worthy of good company — lighthearted conversation and shared laughter around the desert campfire. Close your eyes and see the sky above filled with shimmering stars. Timeless. Unforgettable.
Cast the perfect roast and simmer,
Dallah over open flame and coal
History measured in hospitality
The released oils scent the air,
Unlocking remembrance
Warm and welcoming Qahwa
Harmony beneath the stars"

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.
