Demeter, You Really Crack Me Up

Okay, okay, I know that weird Demeter fragrances have probably been talked to death on blogs now, but do humour me. I can’t help it; I find the types of scents they have so absurd that I just had to show you some of the funny ones I stumbled across.

Demeter in Cannabis Flower, Earthworm and Funeral Home

I don’t get it. Why would one want to smell like a funeral home?!

Demeter Fragrance in Fresh Ginger, Fiery Curry and Laundromat

Mmm a laundromat would be nice. Crisp linen and all that. As for Fiery Curry, I suppose an Indian takeaway would be a cheaper option. Plus you get poppadoms.

Demeter in Holy Smoke, Play Doh and Pruning Shears

Play-Doh! Now that’s something. Brings me back to my childhood days of envying kids with Play-Doh when I could only play with cheapie plasticine 😛

Demeter Fragrances in Paperback, Paint and Sushi

If Paperback really smells like books, that would be fantastic. New book smell … delicious.

Demeter Fragrances in Salt Air, Russian Leather, Turpentine

Well, if you want to smell like Paint, why not throw in some Turpentine too?

Demeter Fragrances in Whiskey Tobacco, Kamikaze and Orange Rim Cleaner

One of these days, I’m going to have to buy one or two of these to smell for myself. I wonder if they really do smell like they say they do. Have you tried any Demeter fragrances before? Does the Earthworm really smells like, err, earthworms*? 😛

*Hats off to you if you really know what earthworms smell like.

      LOL at the fudgecicles 😛 Demeter was pretty popular a number of years ago, then kind of dropped off the radar a bit. Thought it might be fun to bring these to people’s attention again and see what weird scents they’re back with.

    They are wonderful fragrances! They have some really great scents, I like the Condensed Milk fragrance mmm creamy and sweet 🙂 I’d be gunning for the paperback scent.

      Condensed Milk! I saw that one! So the Demeter ones are actually good? Ooooh. I wonder if they ship to Australia, ‘cos I really want the Paperback one 😛

  3. Angela @ The Unprofessional Beauty Blog

    I would actually wear some of these. Like that Fresh Ginger and Laundromat but definitely the rest. I mean, how would I know what earthworm smells like……

        Hahahah Laundromat would be nice. Delicious-smelling freshly-laundered linen. Mmmmmmm. Earthworm? Errrrrrrrrrr……

    Ha, I’ve always chuckled to myself while reading the titles of their bottles & then taking a whiff of the scent out of curiosity. While I’ve never purchased any Demeter fragrances, some of the scents are really fresh & appealing.

      Oooh you’ve smelled them! That’s awesome. I only get to see them online since they’re not available here. How accurate are the ones like Turpentine and Salt Air? Do they really smell like the real thing?

      1. VNikol

        I haven’t smelled these latest additions, but for the most part the fragrances are on point – like the popcorn, actually smells like popcorn. The line is definitely different & often bordering on weird. lol

    A fair few years ago i was bat sh*it crazy about demeter fragrances.
    My all time favourite is Funeral Home. Sound morbid i know but its a delicious mix of fresh white flowers. Think white lilies & carnations etc. I just love it.
    Surprisingly i would always get asked what fragrance i was wearing. Awkward!
    Other good ones I’ve had are suntan lotion, Laundry mat, daphne, violet, pure soap & Tiger-lily.
    I’m dying to try the sanrio ones….. Yes i want to smell like Hello Kitty.
    Oh crap…. now you have got me wanting to collect them again.

      NO! Really? Funeral Home? Damn! Now I wanna know what it really smells like! 😛

      Where did you get them? Was it from the Demeter website?

  8. Kaye

    Ok, believe it or not id never heard of these! And my gosh… I laughed till I hurt. Fiery Curry and Funeral Home. *wiping a tear*

    Fiery Curry…

      You want Fiery Curry? Buy an Indian takeaway from a popular shop and get wafted in the smell while you wait 😛

  9. Anita

    I kinda love the smell of turpentine so would love that scent! Doubt anyone else in or visiting my house would though 🙂
