Sweet Pea Shower Gel
The Scent: Sweet Pea is a very popular garden bloom that has been confounding perfumers forever. It produces a stress hormone that ruins its beautiful scent when picked. Amazing! It's really telling humans look and smell, but don't touch. We use a process to synthesize the scent from natural materials so we can get an exquisite scent without defying Mother Nature.
The Story: Other fun facts: the sweet pea is also popularly known as the "Queen of Annuals", and is the emblematic flower of the month of April. And if you remember your Biology 101, much early work in genetics was done at Cambridge University using the Sweet Pea. Much of what we know about plant hybrids derives from this work in the 19th and early 20th century.
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.
