Sandalwood Purse Spray
The Scent: One of the oldest of incense materials, Demeter's Sandalwood is a warm and sensual version of this classic note; if a fragrance could purr, this would be it.
The Story: For many years Demeter used natural sandalwood oil, but today, the Mysore forests that were the source for our oil are virtually depleted. The remaining trees are too immature to produce quality Sandalwood or Sandalwood oil, which requires 15 to 20 years.
The Inspiration: This was a situation where the environmentally responsible decision was to migrate from a natural source to a synthetic source; which is what we now use to create an incredible scent for everyone.
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.
