Bonfire Humongous Miniature Splash
The Scent: Autumn in the northeast USA bottled.
Sensual and intoxicating, Demeter’s Bonfire captures the scent of burning maple leaves on a cool, crisp fall New England day, a decidedly American point of view. We remember a less complicated and less regulated time, when we would rake the fallen, dried maple leaves from the lawn into large piles, which our fathers would burn, making the bonfires of our youth.
The Inspiration: The best part about the beginning of November in Britain is the fact that no sooner has trick or treating finished, preparations for Bonfire Night begin. Bonfire Night can be traced directly to events that occurred around the beginning of November in 1605, known as The Gunpowder Plot.
Baby Powder Cologne Spray
The Scent: As clean and as fresh as it gets, like the proverbial freshly powdered baby’s behind. Let Demeter’s Baby Powder takes you on a journey through the pleasures, the innocence and the scents of childhood.
The Story: In the 1890’s, Italian talc was mixed with plasters, to reduce irritation. Soon customers were asking for more talc. Shortly thereafter, that scented talc was being sold as baby powder, creating the link in our minds between the scent of baby powder and fresh cleanliness. It is that fresh scent that is the inspiration for Demeter’s Baby Powder.
