I found the Demeter fragrance library while doing a search online for a perfume that smelled like incense. The Demeter Incense fragrance came up and I ordered that, and then found my way to the Demeter fragrance website and was blown away by all the different scents that they offer! I ordered two more and couldnt be happier. First I want to say that this is an absolutely wonderful way to try different scents - without committing to buying whole bottles and leaving them go wasted. Even with regular perfumes, I often buy a bottle, use it halfway and then a new scent has caught my attention and it sits there and turns to alcohol! I dont think I will ever do that again because this is a much more cost efficient way to go! You have enough to really wear the scent and enjoy it, empty the bottle and then go on to others if you want! The fragrance list is so extensive, I would probably have many favorites!

Here's the ones I've tried so far:

Incense - cologne spray: I love this. Absolutely love it. To me it does not smell like incense, nor does it smell like Vanilla (which I hate) - I read in a couple of reviews that it has vanilla notes and I was hoping it did not. To me you can really smell the amber which I love. It has more staying power than the splash on cologne samples. Don't know why.

Holy Smoke - splash on cologne: I absolutely fell in love with this fragrance. It smells exactly the way it's explained on their site. Some people hate it but then I can't understand why they bought it! It definitely has a strong smoky odor but it lasts only about 15 minutes before you have to reapply it. Maybe the spray cologne will have more staying power? Don't know but will certainly try it :)

Laundromat - splash on cologne: I havent worn this one yet, just sniffed it out of the bottle. It doesnt smell like the Downy - fabric softener-ish scent that I assumed it would have but it is just lovely. Very soft and clean. Like clothes that just came out of a warm dryer.

My only peeve is that the splash on's dont last long. Also, I wish they made these in an oil with a roll on applicator. Demeter - are you reading this? hehe.

I bought this in the Holy Smoke scent and it is a dead-on incense fragrance. You can really smell the smoke! When it dries down it leaves a nice subtle sweet fragrance that eventually disappears altogether. I guess that is why they call these Pick-Me-Up scents, they're to be spritzed on throughout the day. You can lavish yourself with it and not end up smelling like a French whore. Just make sure you bring the bottle with you because you will want a refresher.
