Laundromat

The beauty of Demeter is that these singular notes are made for layering. I layered this with their Pure Soap and Rain fragrances and —my god — did I create the ultimate uber-freshie! If crisp aldehydic accord reads as biting or synthetic to your nose, I don’t suggest this. If you love crisp aldehydes, this is for you. Alone, this reminds me of a fabric softener sheet newly spent and fresh out the end of a dryer cycle. I think a synthetic smell is quite appropriate considering most laundry detergent, scent boosters, and fabric softeners are made with distinctly synthetic fragrances. My aforementioned ozonic aldehyde freshie bomb is perfect after my evening shower before heading to bed. I usually wear it to bed twice a week after I’ve changed the linens and they’re fresh out of the dryer. Fresh linens, freshly washed cotton pjs, and this perfume before bed has become a ritual.

I have to say, to me this smells *exactly* like a laundromat. I love it and keep a little bottle in my purse. It evokes memories of the smell of soap and dryer sheets, but more than that the smell of the clothes tumbling in the dryers. There is a scent there - maybe the dryer itself and the smell of the air tumbling around, clothes being folded, freshly washed laundry, the soap dispenser, those baskets with wheels. I'm not sure what it is but this *is* the laundromat and I love remembering those times when I would be able to get 5 or 6 loads of laundry done all at the same time, reading old magazines and inhaling that aroma. Demeter is hit or miss for me but they really got it right with this one.

For some reason, I'm extremely drawn to the scent of fresh laundry detergents. Their clean aura uplifts me and makes me think good thoughts. Demeter's Laundromat is a fragrance I absolutely adore. It's gentle, soft, and playful. It's the scent of freshly washed linen with just a tiny touch of floral notes. I'm sad this scent doesn't last long on me. I love it nevertheless.

I like it very much. It makes me smile, it reminds me of my childhood when I was frequently going to a laundry with my mum :) It smells like a very nice laundry detergent together with the damp warm air of a laundry.

I like this but it has fleeting durability ... Nowhere near the quality of the bodyshops cotton white ... Now there was a stunning fresh fragrance :)
