Got the Lavender Martini as a free gift in a recent order from Demeter. Nice and clean scent. To me, after a very brief blast of alcohol, it starts off smelling like lemon-lime soda. Then after 15-20 minutes it gradually slides into a scent that reminds me of the little bars of soap in a motel room (you know the ones – the ones that end up in your suitcase before you checkout, and you never use).

Blind Buy. Nice juicy spritzy lavender and sweet liquor dry down. Neither is dominant which is a nice touch! Surprisingly lasts a bit longer than most Demeters (OK- maybe about an hour ; which is long by Demeter’s standards!). Happy afternoon cocktail scent!

This is actually the very first Demeter fragrance I ever tried (thanks to a wonderful fragrantican who gifted me a sample <3). Although I am not really familiar with this brand, I like some of the concepts behind their fragrances, and I like how they never take themselves too seriously 🙂
Anyhow, Lavender Martini in fact smells just like a real Martini, very genuine and surprisingly good quality. I smell mostly citrus, with a lot of vodka, and a nice lavender background. The opening is quite alcoholy, but on the whole, this scent is actually strangely refreshing – it smells very sharp and clean. My boyfriend compared it to a lemon-scented washing up liquid, and I can totally see where he is coming from – the drydown of Lavender Martini is indeed a little soapy, very lemony, with that certain ‘fresh laundry’ vibe. Personally, I am not picking up on any sweet notes, which is a bit of a shame. Overall, a very interesting scent. I think it would work well on a really hot day (not that we ever get these here in England), thanks to its incredibly refreshing quality.

I have never tried a lavender martini, but as I love the taste of lavender-flavored anything, (especially lavender honey!) I’m sure it’s a cocktail I would enjoy. So sure, in fact that I was sure I would enjoy the fragrance of one, based on the notes. (excluding the vodka-I hoped that would be undetectable, or at least short-lived). My imagination was filled with delicious, honey-sweet, yet clean, feminine, herbal lavender swirls of scent, and I couldn’t wait to receive, and wear this unusual, beautiful-I-was-sure, fragrance.
For the first five minutes, I smelled nothing but alcohol. (great). As this dried, I began to smell lavender…maybe…and a sort of light, generic, “perfumey” background. It smelled familiar as well, and I soon realized it smelled exactly like Avon Mark’s Pure. I purchased Pure last year based on my love for the smell of Ivory soap, and haven’t worn it more than twice. :/
LM smells clean, and sharp, with a tiny hint of sweet. It is pleasant. I don’t dislike it, but is not what I imagined it would be. My lavender-hued anticipation turned into a bright, ivory-white actuality. Haha 🙂
If you like the discontinued Pure, or would like to try it, yet can’t find it, this is a close, practically identical cousin.

I love that the lavender is so pronounced but this fragrance is very synthetic almost plastic-like. I am not sure if I want to keep it just yet. Maybe I’ll give it a try again in cooler weather and see what develops.

I will be placing this one among one of most interesting Demeter experiences so far.
In short, it smells like lavener martini:) However, it does not smell of booze. I mean, alcohol is not the first association that somes into my mind. You can spray it on yourself without thinking that people will take you for a person with some sort of alcohol problem. The lavender note is dominating. I dont get much of the sweet notes, unfortunately. No honey or sugar for me!
I dont know whether this is because of my skin chemistry, but I get a lot of soapy notes in the later stage as well. Never the less, Demeter surprised me again:)
