Hello Kitty Perfume From Demeter

If you were the kind of child whose heart skipped a beat every time she walked past the Sanrio store, you might think this news is the cat's meow. Demeter, the fragrance company known for its spray-on copies of everything from dirt to mai tais, has created scents just for Sanrio. Hello Kitty ($20) is light and apple-scented, just like the famous cat's favorite food. Demeter also produced a Read more

Sweet Smelling Fragrance

Mmmm . . . there's nothing dabbing the enticing smell of Pop-Tarts?! behind your ears and on your wrists to drive the guys wild. According to WWD, you'll soon be able to do just that — in fragrance form, of course. It should come as no surprise that Demeter is behind this endeavor. They've made scents for Play-Doh and Necco Sweethearts before (and the latter isn't so bad). Starting in 2009, Read more

New Product Alert: Necco Sweethearts Collection

Okay, this is pretty cute. To tie in with Valentine's Day, Demeter has launched three new scents, all based on Sweethearts candy. The collection is a little kitschy, but because these candies remind me of grade-school Valentine's parties, it's also something I'd be interested in smelling. You might imagine these scents to be sugary sweet, but instead, they're florals. I feel like Demeter's Read more

Fragrance Review: Demeter Crayon

Demeter's fragrances are original and clever, and the company always comes up with a simple scent I hadn't imagined as a wearable fragrance. The question is, should they? For every amazing scent such as Vanilla Ice Cream, there's a stinker like Play-Doh. Unfortunately, I have to count Crayon in the latter category. I won't bore you with purple prose about how Crayon smells, because if you've ever Read more

Hey Hey, It's National Play-Doh Day!

Raise your hand if you were once an aspiring hairstylist who played with the Play-Doh Fuzzy Pumper Beauty Salon. I spent countless hours creating hairstyles with that thing! The reason I ask is that today is National Play-Doh Day, a silly but sentimental "holiday" that's a perfect reason to mention one of Demeter's oddest scents. Known for its unusual fragrances, Demeter released a Play-Doh scent Read more

Sex On The Beach Summer Fragrance By Demeter

Yeesh, I am really hoping that this Sex On The Beach Cologne Spray by Demeter smells more like the cocktail than the actual scent of sex! What a funny name for a fragrance, although I must say, it fits in just dandy with beach week. And as it turns out, we're good to go: The scent is R-rated, but only because there's vodka in it! It actually sounds quite refreshing for the heat of the Read more

Very Wearable Vanilla Scents

The teen magazines I used to read in middle school always suggested that vanilla extract could be worn as a cheap, delicious-smelling perfume. But whenever I dabbed the foodstuff on my wrists like the magazines suggested, I just smelled like a cake in progress. I love vanilla, though, so ever since I was a teen, I've been on the hunt for a natural, wearable vanilla fragrance. Here are a few I've Read more

Review: Jelly Belly Collection by Demeter, Part II

After I introduced you guys to the Jelly Belly Collection by Demeter Fragrance Library, the perfumer was sweet enough to send me some samples of the six scents ($20 for each 1-ounce bottle). Overall, I think Demeter did a great job on this collection, creating wacky scents that translate into surprisingly wearable perfumes. But while I really loved three of the scents, I was just so-so on the Read more

Overall, I think Demeter did a great job on this collection. Each scent is designed to mimic a Jelly Belly flavor recipe, wherein several bean flavors are combined to make a new Read more

Jelly Belly's Scents for Sweet Tooths

I've always admired Demeter Fragrance Library, the perfumer best known for bottling surprisingly good-smelling scents like Gin & Tonic, Laundromat, and Dirt. Now, Demeter has partnered with another company known for its rather wacky varieties: Jelly Belly. The new Jelly Belly fragrance collection includes six scents inspired by popular flavors from the gourmet jelly-bean maker. Here's more Read more
