  • Treat the customer the way I’d like to be treated
  • Admit when mistakes are made, then correct them

  • Always be willing to teach AND learn
  • Give back to the community in some way each year and trust the universal principle of giving
  • Revel in all things fragrant
 
About Our Name

The company's name is a kind of double entendre and a whimsical play on words. "Ministry" is the European version of "Department"; it's also what Sasha considers her special calling when it comes to fragrances.
