"This smells really tasty without overtaking the room. Layers nicely with the water and location-themed scents. I like it with Caribbean Sea for that ocean-air smell, and Spacewalk for that boardwalk-at-nightcall effect. Memory is a powerful force."
Saltwater Taffy Diffuser Oil
$30.00
4.0 oz
The Scent: Demeter's Saltwater Taffy, with hints of vanilla and caramel, captures that salty sweetness perfectly.
The Inspiration: Saltwater Taffy is also a personal creation for me, because when I was a child my grandparents used to bring back Salt Water Taffy every time they went to Atlantic City, which was a regular stop on their itinerary. Somehow the special smell and taste of that taffy is inexorably tied into the loving memories of them.
The Story: Legend has it that in 1889 in Atlantic City, candy store owner David Bradley's shop was flooded during a major storm. As a result of the flood, his entire stock of taffy was soaked with salty Atlantic Ocean water. When a young girl came into his shop and asked if he had any taffy for sale, he is said to have offered some "salt water taffy."
At the time it was a joke, because all his taffy had been soaked with salt water, but the girl was delighted. Bradley's mother was in the back and heard the exchange. She loved the name, and so saltwater taffy was born.

Okay I fought customer service
"Okay I fought customer service (which is fantastic, by the way -- they're super professional) tooth and nail over this free sample "gift" -- I've never been a fan of gourmand or fruity or sweet scents but OMFG I'm so glad it came. I'm going to get the biggest bottle of their actual saltwater taffy fragrance when I place my next order. The oil doesn't have tremendous staying power and I wear a lot of light cotton/linen/chambray so I have concerns about it staining (and the oil doesn't interact the best with my skin chemistry for whatever reason) but I want to literally lick it off my skin for the 60-75 minutes after I apply it, it smells THAT good. The perfume oil doesn't last long so I need to reapply several times thru the day but A+"
Saltwater Taffy is yummy!
"You read my mind! I was thinking of ordering Saltwater Taffy for my best friend for her birthday. She loves eating Saltwater Taffy, and she loves baked good and sweet candy scents. I thought that she would love this scent. Coincidentally, I received Saltwater Taffy as my free gift with my last order, so I was able to smell it. It smells like the real thing! I'm going to give it to her, because I know she loves roller ball oils and she loves this type of scent. It smells so yummy!"
