Another disappointment. I’m trying to find fragrances that capture the scents of my travels around my home state of California, which is harder than it sounds. I wanted that soft, pillowy, somewhat dusty sweet wood scent of Sequoia bark. This isn’t it. Like Doc Elly says, it smells like a cologne, not a tree. Not a bad fragrance, but with Demeter I expect an authentic scent.

Demeter is one of those companies that is hit or miss. Once in a while they have a spectacular hit – their honeysuckle scent is the most true to life of any I’ve ever smelled – but too many of their scents miss by a mile. I just tried a sample of their Greenhouse that was generously included in a swap package from another Fragrantican, and immediately knew that this was one of those misses. It’s not on the Fragrantica list, but it smells pretty much like the bottle of Giant Sequoia that broke in transit when Demeter shipped it to me, so the two reviews can be rolled into one. Greenhouse/Giant Sequoia is a generic, synthetic, perfumey scent that bears no resemblance to anything that ever existed in a real greenhouse or near a sequoia tree. It’s as if they took their usual synthetic slop, pasted a new name on it, and hoped no one would notice that it smells about the same as half of their other offerings. I know my greenhouse (or a giant sequoia tree) has never smelled like someone spilled a bottle of cheap Chanel Egoiste knock-off, and I doubt anyone else’s has either unless the accident in question actually occurred. Off to perfume purgatory with poor Greenhouse, and off to the shower for me.
I suppose Demeter has different people formulating their scents, some of whom are brilliant and others of whom just don’t get it. Shouldn’t a greenhouse or a sequoia tree smell plant-like?

My father wears this scent, and it really works for him. I’ve sniffed it a few times and thought that it might work for me too, so I tried wearing it one day. Sadly, with my body chemistry it smelled just like formaldehyde (that nasty chemical used to preserve dead things). Needless to say, this scent smells different on everyone!
