Grass

This is very much a photorealistic grass scent. I remember before climate change was as bad as it is today, this is what the yard of my childhood home smelled like after one of my parents had mowed the grass. There's a sweetness here that real grass can only mimic with a certain amount of hydration that has been lacking in my area for the past fifteen years or so. It used to rain at least once a week, now it's more like once a month. The longevity on this is not great, especially if you're not using the oil. I do use the oil, and it lasts around two hours, but it becomes a skin scent after about thirty to forty five minutes. I don't mind this, really. I wear fragrances for my own enjoyment. The oil also soaks in pretty quickly and doesn't leave your skin feeling greasy, which is always a plus. This is also one of the few truly unisex fragrances I've encountered. Grass is one of the few fragrance notes that isn't gendered, period.

The first burst of Demeter Grass is very sweet, almost fresh-cut-hay sweet, but it very quickly settles into a lovely grass scent. The most linear scent I own, in fact, it's nothing. but. grass. This linear quality does not take away from its finesse, however, because grass is one of nature's most perfect smells - and Demeter has bottled it well. I love to layer this with essential oils such as lily of the valley or lilac; it also works wonderfully with Gres Cabotine Rose and Bliss. It's also amazing as a room or linen scent. Nothing but grass - perfect!

The opening smells so much like real grass that it made me feel like I was back in the playing fields at my old school.. :) Then it becomes quite sweet, almost like a dewy coconut note.. I'm not sure about the sweet note :/ if it was even a hint sweeter it would've annoyed me.. I just don't like savory mixed with sweet in any way and I see grass as savoury I guess :/ But overall this is nice, very green, good projection and longevity for the price. I like it.

this is bright, juicy, damp grass. so fresh! it is kind of a flowery grass; i've seen some reviews mention that if you think of grass as more metallic than this, you're probably missing the gasoline of the lawnmower. this is fistfuls of young grass at the park, far from the street. of the 3 demeter scents i picked up, this one lasts the longest, which is honestly a pretty low bar but i'm pleased with its longevity. i get probably 4-5 hours out of it.

I bought the perfume oil version of this back in 2024, and loved it. However, I just bought another roller ball, and I'm so incredibly disappointed. The scent itself has not changed, but it is EXTREMELY weak -- and it was not super strong to begin with. When I roll some on my inner elbow or my wrist, I have to put my nose right up to my skin to smell it. The inside of the cap smells like nothing. What a joke. Buyer beware.
