Privet Diffuser Oil
The Scent: A deep, dark, green scent from the Library Privet is an Old World shrubs or small tree from the family Oleaceae (the olive family), some of which are common as hedge plants. Privet hedges are popular for their dark green leaves and their ease of cultivation even in adverse city conditions.
The Inspiration: The various species are evergreen, nearly evergreen, or deciduous, some producing small white flowers. The common privet ( L. vulgare) has become naturalized in the eastern US; the California privet (L. ovalifolium) is a native of Japan.
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.
