6 Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth With a Trio of Thanksgiving Scents
The creative folks at Demeter Fragrance Library are at it again. (Yes, the same ones that brought us a cannabis-inspired cologne and many other unconventional scents.) The latest offering is seasonally appropriate: Virtual Thanksgiving ($36). If you love perfume and pie, you're in for a real treat, as the set includes a trio of gourmand fragrances that seem — seem being the operative word here Read more
A few weeks ago on Glee in an episode titled "Grilled Cheesus," Finn has a spiritual awakening after discovering an image of Jesus's face in his grilled cheese sandwich. (I still Read more
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
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).

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
There are a lot of dubiously named beauty products out there. After all, a crazy moniker is a lot more likely to grab a shopper's attention, or at least titillate them into taking a look (the similarities between, ahem, "adult movie" titles and makeup names are strikingly similar). Sometimes, though, attempts to give something a sexy or scandalous handle go too far and end up squarely in the Read more
Another day, another marijuana-themed perfume. The latest in technically legal fragrances is Rich Hippie Marijuana ($35), which purports to be "sweet, seductive and addictive floral with crushed Madagascan ylang ylang petals, Italian petitgrain and rose geranium petals." Sounds more floral than vegetal, but it's in good company. Fresh also has a pot-leaf scent, Cannabis Santal ($75), which bills Read more
We've reported on the launch of the latest Tokidoki venture — these adorable roller-ball perfumes ($18 each). And now, I've actually gotten my mitts on them to give a full review. I have Adios, Siberia, Donutella, and SANDy on my desk right now, in fact. So what's the verdict on your favorite characters' new signature scents? To find out, just keep reading. Read more
