Dandelion

I have Demeter Dandelion in the perfume oil, and I just sniffed it along with a real dandelion leaf picked from my yard. They smell almost identical, with the perfume oil being slightly more intense. I did the comparison with a dandelion flower and it's not the same as the perfume. I would say this is perfume is all about the dandelion leaves. If you are looking for a green scent and think Demeter's Grass is too soapy and New Leaf is too citrus (like I did), I would recommend you try Dandelion. There's no soapiness nor citrus at all, it's purely green. I love it! However, like most Demeter scents, it only lasts an hour or so.

Real dandelions make me sneeze. So does this perfume. And it's completely worth it. For me the crucial element is a light, buttery note that I can't detect in the bottle, only on my skin. It actually took me a very long time to fall for this fragrance, because I kept sniffing at the bottle (a disappointing experience) instead of just WEARING it. Now I can't get enough! The only downside: longevity is crummy. This is easily the fastest of all my Demeter scents to fade.

Delightfully green, fresh, and floral. It's almost a little soapy, reminds me of a kind of dryer sheet my parents must have used in the laundry when I was young. It's nostalgic, uplifting, springy. It lingers a long time and has nice projection. I love it on both myself and my partner. It layers nicely with more "grown up" florals or popular uplifting scents like Clinique Happy or Marc Jacobs Daisy that I've been enjoying this spring.

I love this A LOT. I got it as a free gift when I ordered directly from Demeter, and wow. The opening is very floral and fresh, and when it dries down on my skin I get a lot of green notes, like the sap on a dandelion's stem. Yum. I adore this--I agree it definitely has a detergenty background, but I love smelling fresh, so no worries.

Today was warm and I thought I'd wear this in honor....soft,fresh grass and a touch of flowers:very simple but lovely especially on a random Spring-like day in November:)
