Leather Shower Gel
The Scent: Is there anything as strangely addictive as the scent of leather?
The link between perfume and leather goes back hundreds of years and is even said by some to have marked the beginning of modern perfumery as we know it, as leather tanneries started to use perfume materials to mask the unpleasant scent of leather goods that had been produced using traditional tanning processes.
The Inspiration: ‘Bottling’ the scent of leather does not involve using anything from leather or animals. Rather, our perfumers have re-created the distinguished and luxurious odor of Leather by blending natural and synthetic materials in the laboratory– so like all of our fragrances, this product is 100% vegetarian!
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.
