Mildew Diffuser Oil
The Scent: The smell you get when you first turn on your air conditioner. It goes to show that odd aroma can be very appealing.
The Inspiration: As told by one of Demeter's own: "One of the largest woman's magazines put my home number in by mistake. Late one night, a really lovely woman from New Jersey called. We chatted for a while about Demeter, and finally I asked her what aroma she really enjoyed. She said 'You know it's the smell of first turning my air conditioners in May'. And I replied: 'Well that's Mildew'. We did Mildew in honor of her. And sent her some, much to her happy surprise.
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.
