Firefly Purse Spray
The Scent: Demeter’s Firefly seeks to capture the essence of an early northeastern spring evening at dusk, the smells associated with that magical night when the first fireflies of the year appear. And the memories. That mayo jar Mom gave you with the holes punched in the lid…but the truth be told, this was inspired by memories of our kids catching fireflies, not so long ago…
The Inspiration: The firefly’s glow serves two functions, to warn predators it is toxic, and to attract mates. Each species of firefly has its own pattern of flashes that help males and females find and attract one another. Thus, the dance of the firefly is a true harbinger of spring.
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.
