Waffles Perfume Oil Roll on
$17.00
0.3 oz
The Scent: Demeter's Waffles is a balanced combination of the waffle itself smothered in butter and covered in maple syrup-sweet, but not too sweet.
The Inspiration: Actually, waffles are as American as apple pie, and like apple pie, are an import. Everyone loves a good waffle!
The Story: The word "waffle" and probably the food, comes to us from the Dutch "wafel", but the French eat them too, calling them "gaufre" from the Old French "wafla".
Whatever their provenance, waffles have been eaten by Americans since Pilgrim times. Europeans eat their waffles as a sweet course, topping them with powdered sugar, whipped cream, or honey or stuffing them with icing. Americans have occasionally served waffles for dessert - perhaps a chocolate waffle with ice cream - but in general we eat them for breakfast with all-American maple syrup.
At least NOW we do, if we eat waffles at all. But in the Thirties, and before that, Americans ate waffles with virtually anything that could be spooned or poured over their bumpy, golden tops. And we ate them for breakfast, for luncheon, and for supper. If we served them to guests at a Sunday Night Supper, it became a waffle supper, "sure to be a party guests remember," according to the General Foods cookbook "All About Home Baking" (1933). And we made waffles with just about everything: Cheese waffles; cornmeal waffles; coconut, pineapple, and chocolate waffles; gingerbread waffles; banana waffles; cheese and tomato, date, and peanut butter waffles; apple waffles; oatmeal waffles; and prune, bran, apricot, and even pea pulp waffles (which Pictorial Review featured as one of their best recipes for 1927.)
Go figure.

Reviews
Very very maple syrup, very butter, maaaaybe waffl
"The maple syrup is by far the strongest scent followed by butter I don't know that I can smell the waffle at all. However I really like the smell of maple syrup and butter so I thought this was a hit I just wish it lasted longer. If I were to suggest anything I would suggest trying it in an oil. Those oil rollers aren't that much more and you will get the longevity and perhaps a little projection."
"Soooo good, not overpowering. sweet buttery syrupy waffle smell"
"love it, very syrupy"
"Just like a waffle"
"When people warned about how light and short lived this scent was. I did not believe them, for one simple reason. I see this complaint on literally any fragrance. Demeter or not. I see people complaining about things not being strong enough, or disappearing after 3 seconds all the time. So I generally just ignore it because from my experience most of the time it's just not true. I've seen people say something lasts only 5 minutes and disappears. And I'll still smell it three or four hours later. This however was one of the rare exceptions, the scent was extremely light. And I stopped smelling it around the 30 minute Mark. As I saw someone else said, this 100% is not worth spending $15 on. A 8 oz Body mist that you could buy at a CVS for four dollars will last far longer than this. $9 plus shipping to get half an ounce of liquid, that will only last a half an hour at best???? Absolutely not."
"SMELLS LIKE EXTRA BUTTERY EGGO WITH SYRUP. So so so good. My fav demeter scent"
The scent is nice, smells
"The scent is nice, smells like the real thing. But, it doesn’t last even an hour."
"Even at $8, this is a waste of money. The liquid smells amazing, but the scent didn't even last (no exaggeration) 10 minutes. I wanted this to be great, what a disappointment. Glad I bought a tiny bottle."
"This smells like maple syrup EXACTLY and is a strong sent finally I wish the other scents they Sold were this strong"
