Smell like a Lettice

This is an hard frangrance to describe
it smells a cross between Lettuce
from a sandwitch and a the after rain
from a forest it's sweet and it does
get a bit overwhelming at times
this may not be my favorite but
it's unique if someone wants to have
something different from the conventional Perfume

Photorealistic abandoned hot house

I was a little skeptical of Demeter fragrances at first, hearing they had weak staying power and often didn’t smell like what they were supposed to, but this fragrance is a shockingly cheap gem. Retailing at about 20 quid for a bottle, I didn’t have high expectations, but it has blown me away.

This smells like an abandoned Victorian hot house, reclaimed by nature. It has a melancholy undertone of snapped flower stems, stagnant green water, and plumes of wet downtrodden lilies. It’s bitter, green, fresh, and airy, with that beautiful sad undertone of a place long forgotten.

Rain Dance

If you like the scent of damp grass, wet earth, fresh lily of the valley (before they get all musty), a light herbal mix, and a hint of aquatic-citrusy freshness... then you should crawl around in the garden and press your face into the lawn carpet. But only when it’s raining. With a lemon in one hand. And a lily of the valley in the other.

I would rather advise against this scent. At first, it is hard to beat in terms of intensity, smells incredibly squeaky-artificial, but then quickly fades away and smells... well, hmm, almost nothing at all. Only a determined pressing of the nose against the application spot allows a well-trained nose to sense that there was something there.
Longevity is therefore rather poor to bad, the scent itself doesn’t make me jump for joy like a young deer, sillage is nonexistent, and the rest isn’t that great either.

Plus point: I don’t know any scent that comes close to this. So probably niche... ;)

Summer Rain - Cemetery Air?

For a year now, I've been circling around Parfumo like a cat around hot porridge. Since I've had to stay in bed for a week and am gradually getting very bored, I've finally dared to write my first comment - and I'm quite excited!
Unlike what I always imagined, this will not be a comment on a "favorite scent." Since I had a lot of time last week, I finally mustered the courage to test some fragrances from Demeter F. L. A bit of fear of overly synthetic scents held me back (I don't know why I associate that with Demeter fragrances), but the idea of evoking memories through scents is one of the main reasons why I enjoy trying and using fragrances so much. Memories, feelings, things that cannot be described in words, all of that is contained in these oh-so-different bottles of various perfumes - a whole world...

And this happened yesterday:
It is sometime in the 70s of the last... millennium!!! At that time, I spent a lot of my free time after elementary school at my maternal grandmother's house. She lives directly across from the cemetery in our village. And she takes care of a considerable number of graves for a small fee. New grave soil, new flowers, wiping gravestones, and so on. And of course, the disposal of old bouquets and flower arrangements in a pit right next to the cemetery. That was, of course, exactly the right task for a child my age - running errands. But how does the perfumer of Wet Garden (my version is called Summer Rain) know what the composition of wilted lilies, past carnations, dried baby's breath, and old, stale flower water smells like or used to smell like?
The cemetery is sometimes also a wet garden, and in summer it does rain there sometimes - but actually, I had hoped for a different scent experience. But as my grandmother used to say: "You can't always get what you wish for!" Sometimes that's a good thing, but in this case, it's rather unfortunate!

I ordered a total of 5 different scents to test. I've already tested four and unfortunately have to say that all the scents come across as a bit artificial to me. It must be said that I am a big lover of natural scents and often struggle with "mainstream perfumes" (which I certainly don't count Demeter F. L. among). Therefore, I am surely a bit biased, as I always have a little fear of artificiality with such "cheap" scents. However, since I am basically curious and experimental, I actually test (almost) everything that comes into my hands and under my nose.
I also want to clarify that my comment (and my future ones) will always only capture my personal observation at that moment. My daughter (17), for example, has a completely different "skin chemistry" than I do, and scents that I like on myself can smell terrible on her and vice versa. Additionally, with different tastes (you really can't argue about taste), it can happen that someone tears apart a scent that another finds divine. With my comment (hopefully comments in the future), I really don't want to offend anyone.
And I also have a lot to learn for my upcoming time here at Parfumo, so I always welcome tips and suggestions on how to use this simply wonderful site for perfume lovers - please be patient with me (I am a total tech failure and always need help from my kids, but I did set up my account with a picture!!! all by myself!!!)!

Fragrance for Artificial Plants

"Wet Garden" is almost exactly what the name suggests: A garden in autumn, wet from rain, it smells fresh, as if it were cool and already September. I smell freshly cut green grass at the beginning. Then, for me, scents from the leaves of the trees follow; I can smell, for example, the scent of wet birch leaves. "Wet Garden" is a sharp leaf and plant scent, like the one leaves emit in early autumn before they begin to withdraw chlorophyll and other substances to direct them into the roots and then shed the leaves. A slightly resinous scent also mixes in. True: The smell of damp earth is missing. But I don’t miss it.
I can easily imagine this scent as a room spray, even in commercial settings, for example, when offering artificial plants. Nowadays, there are already very realistic-looking flowers and plants. I could also see this in offices with artificial plants, either in cleaning water or as a room diffuser. The longevity is good, the sillage is normal and tolerable for a room fragrance.
