  • Train those in fragrance sales so they can enhance their customers' experience
  • Be aware of trends, yet not afraid to work outside of them, or even set them

Our Values

  • Fragrance is intensely personal--Respect everyone’s feelings about fragrance
  • Fragrance is intensely personal(2)--Anything is returnable for any reason any time
  • Treat the customer the way I’d like to be treated
  • Admit when mistakes are made, then correct them
  • Be open about ingredients and blending methods--There’s room for both originality and sharing. (Just because I use Monet's paints doesn’t mean I can paint a Monet!)
  • Offer unexpected added value whenever and wherever possible
  • 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.
