Sweet Orange Humongous Miniature Splash
The Scent: Sweet Orange is one of the ultimate pick-me-ups. And, a scent that eradicates the other scents. Sweet orange cultivars can be categorized into four distinct groups: round oranges, navel oranges, blood oranges, and acid-less oranges. It is this Washington Navel that is the basis for Demeter's Sweet Orange, a bright, sweet citrus scent based upon essential oil pressed from the peel of the fruit.
The Inspiration: Imagine peeling a beautiful enormous navel orange in the winter and that cloud of zest that sprays into the air when you tear the peel; that is Demeter Fragrance Library Sweet Orange
The Story: Navel orange history suggests that the navel orange has been grown in the Mediterranean region for several hundred years.
The Portuguese probably introduced navel oranges to Brazil. 'Washington', the most economically important navel cultivar, is believed to have originated as a mutation in Brazil during the nineteenth century prior to its introduction to the United States in 1870.
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.
