Dirt Demeter Fragrance Library 1996 Cologne

We are shaped by two poles: the earth and the sky. We stand well in the middle. Yet our time with its big cities, mobility, advertising, and now also the virtual world leads us towards the air pole.

What we need is grounding! But that seems to be nowhere to be found anymore. Clever Kate Moss! With Dirt, she brings the musty stable scent from a forgotten corner of an old farm right into her loud glittering, spotlight world of London.

For Dirt is not the urban rat-urine stench, but the long-missed and therefore once again fragrant country, nature dirt!

I was afraid to smell Dirt for a long time. I am too aware of what scents are capable of. Sniffing it for the first time relieved me and pleasantly surprised me, probably due to my uneasy premonitions.

Dirt almost absurdly gives a feeling of coziness, also through its imperfection. What can balance, calm, and stabilize one better?

In almost all comments about Demeter scents, there has been speculation about the scent concept of Demeter without ever finding a satisfactory answer. Well, this is my first answer! Demeter offers instant grounding from the bottle with Dirt. In serious situations, so to speak, it can be used as an emergency drop/Rescue drops!

And that is how I use Dirt! To ground myself and to save myself in emergencies, e.g., after a tiring trade fair day. Morgaina, I think of you! By the way, Beetroot, Greenhouse, and Mushroom do this in their own way too.

With Dirt, I can finally sniff mold without restraint and without regret. Somehow, the forbidden always has its allure! I get unrestrained benzene enjoyment from Fahrenheit. All I need now is a harmless glue scent. I would be grateful for tips!

Whether Dirt replicates 100% of dirt, I do not ponder. I am so impressed by Demeter's concept of replicating scents that evoke emotions in me that I do not nitpick with the fragrance.
