I own and have worn several Demeter Fragrances. I’m a big fan of “green” scents, and love Wet Garden, New Zeland, and Lilly of the Valley.
When I thought “Greenhouse”, I thought of the greenhouses I visit in the summer to buy my tomato plants or annuals. You walk in, its humid, there is a smell of green things growing, humidity, the plastic of the hoses and the containers, moist, fertile earth, and the sun warmed plastic smell of the greenhouse covering. I thought “Ahhhh, that sounds lovely”.
That is *not* what this is. This is a green house under construction, built but not yet used. You get the sterile, synthetic scent of plastic – and a lot of it – and a bit of humidity, and nothing more. No growing things. No potting soil. Nothing wet, dirty, nothing earthy. This greenhouse does not even have a dirt floor, its all concrete and hardness and sun warmed plastic.
Sadly, the first Demeter scent I sent back.

Similar to Wet Garden (floral, earthy, grassy) but sweeter and more synthetic.
“Synthetic” in this case isn’t a criticism — think of all the plastic film that encases a greenhouse, and of the hoses, plastic pots, and plastic bags of potting soil and fertilizer gently simmering inside. That’s as much a part of the greenhouse scent for me as the plants themselves.
That singular mixture of organic and synthetic (plus humidity!) is what Greenhouse is trying to achieve, and I think it does an admirable job. Definitely evocative of the real thing, if not 100% realistic.
(If you want a purely organic earthy green floral, go for Wet Garden instead.)

Official description is: “Simple. Leaves, blooms, and wonderful smell of humidity. Yes, humidity has smell component, think about it. We wanted to combine those three odors in one bottle, and we did it!”. If you want a scent quite like that, buy Wet Garden. Greenhouse is a nosewrinkling blend of a failure. I was feeling lucky and ordered spray + perfume oil and both are the same, even from materials (so my skin chemistry doesn’t matter in this case).
