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.

Grass! All I get is grass, nothing synthetic or obnoxious, just a big pile of freshly mown grass clippings on a sunny day. Reminds me of the summer I spent working at an arboretum. I love this by itself, or layered with pretty much any floral scent.

Excellent sweet grass fragrance, will work really well layered with other scents but is good enough to be worn alone if you're in the mood for something simple. Great for summer!

I bought this because of a random YouTube comment I saw about this specific fragrance from the brand, but after I had ordered it I saw all these other reviews from below and thought "oh no..." Now that I've been able to try it, I'm glad to know that I do quite like it. The initial spray to me does smell like grass, with the scent becoming wetter and more watery over time. The dry down to me switches between smelling a little bit more citrusy (still not a full blown citrus fragrance to me though), to a sliiiiightly musky scent reminiscent of the powdery smell you get when there's a lot of pollen in the air and also smelling like grass-scented shampoo. The longevity also surprised me since most reviews online talk about its short longevity, but I could still smell this on me by the 5th and 6th hour. That's probably its limit though, but considering this is an EDC I was quite pleased. This was a great first try from Demeter and I'm eager to try & buy more from them after this one.

Of course, everyone here has nailed it when they say: it smells like grass. That's what I wanted, that's why I bought it, and that's what I got! I don't like it quite as much as my beloved, discontinued Gap Grass. Since it's just the one note, it's very simple, linear. But this is great for layering. Right now I have it layered with J.S. Fancy Girl, and it adds a lovely greenness to anything fruity/creamy/fresh. A word of caution: this is, for some reason, VERY oily. As such it seems to last longer than other Demeters on me, which is nice, but be careful with spraying it on clothing.

Oh I love this! It's grassy and sweet, and doesn't slip into sneezey perfumey weirdness like a lot of grassy-green fragrances tend to do for me, no soap, pollen, lettuce or fabric softener to be found! It doesn't smell like grass clippings that came out of the lawn mower, either. It almost smells like chammomile tea as it dries down, warm and a little hay-like, very gentle and pleasant.

I saw this at grocery store and decided to give it a try. I'm not sure if it's my skin chemistry (I had just worked out and had sweated earlier) but this had a reaction that smelled powdery. If I had to compare the drydown to something, it would be Versace Dreamer. Anyone else experience this?

I love it because it makes me feel like I'm lying on grass without a care in the world - my boyfriend says I smell like unripe plums though :/. I still wear it haha. Also, if you wear it layered with a strawberry-scented body lotion, it smells like strawberry fields XD

Such a strange little number. I never really use it as a perfume, but I like to use it as a fabric or room spray. This scent mixed with Demeter's Mountain Air scent makes for a very fresh living room! It's not exactly like grass, but very close.

Tried on in store, and my best friend owns it. It's very reminiscent of sunscreen and fresh cut grass in the summertime. When the grass is so dry it hurts your bare feet, sticks to your feet after swimming, and makes your ankles itch.

Apply this, then chase it with a shot of either Grey Flannel or Encre Noir Sport. Each blends well with Grass...GF gives a rainy day tone while EN-S smells more like autumn.

Amazing smell of freshly cut grass, great for layering (I love it particularly with Dirt and Violet by Demeter Fragrance Library).

This is what summer smells like to me. Pure neutral fresh cut grass. I layer it with peony and jasmine fragrances and it's great.

It is realistic, but, for me, the performance could be improved. Freshly cut grass. They did a good job with this one, anyway.

There's a reason this is one of Demeter's top scents: it smells exactly the way it's supposed to. Just plain grass.

Not very grassy to me, solo a bit disappointing, not layered yet.
