I've been playing around on the Demeter site, and I've compiled a rather sizeable wishlist:

*Blueberry
*Cinnamon Toast
*Fig Leaf
*Fireplace
*Hibiscus Tea
*Lime
*Mango
*Paperback
*Pumpkin Pie
*Snow
*Waffles
*Banana Flambe
*Kahala Macadamia Nut
*Fiery Curry
*Redhead in Bed
*Salt Air
*Prickly Pear
*Chocolate Covered Cherries

The ones with the little face are the ones I'm most anxious to try. If anyone has tried any of these scents, how do you like them? I know Demeter in general isn't so great on lasting power, but these crazy scents are awesome!

OMG - I want Blueberry and Kahala Macadamia Nut!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have Banana Flambe and it is seriously fabulous. I tried Salt Air and I really didn't like it - to me, it didn't really smell like salt air.

Those two are the only ones I've tried from your list.

Becky, that explains why you've been talking about Demeter a little bit recently. Remember your no buy.

The only thing I have any intention of trying is Redhead In Bed. But I only want that in shower gel form.

There's a Macadamia Nut scent in the Kahala line? That one sounds interesting

Ohhhhhh your list is looking pretty enticing ! I want to try:

Blueberry, Mango (duh - of course), Pumpkin Pie (thanks to you), Waffles, and Banana Flambe.

I MIGHT be up for trying: Prickly Pear and Chocolate Covered Cherries .

I've tried Banana Flambe too, it didn't last very long, and it turned on me like most banana scents do.


Great list though, Becky!!
I'd love to try Fireplace! I'd probably use it to scent my sheets rather than spraying it on myself.

Becky, I have been wanting to try Lime, Mango, Snow, and Salt Air also. Unfortunately there is no where within a 2-hour drive of me that sells Demeter, and most of these scents I wouldn't buy without smelling first.
I'm really happy with the scents I already have, though.

Okay...I couldn't help myself and looked on the Demeter website.
they've got a lot of scents listed!!!
I've never tried Demeter...I heard their scents aren't that long lasting is this true?


The list I am somewhat intruiged by/interested in:

Chocolate Chip Cookie
Cotton Candy
Pink Lemonade
Angel Food
Apple Pie
Banana Flambe
Brownie
Chocolate Mint
Cinnamon Bun
Lavender
Mango
Marshmallow
Pineapple
Pomegranate
Pumpkin Pie
Blueberry
Raspberry Jam
Strawberry Ice Cream
Sugar Cookie
Vanilla Cake Batter
Waffles
Patchouli


On that note, there are a few things on there that I cannot (for the life of me) understand why anyone on G-ds green Earth, would want to smell like that .

Thanks for the No-Buy support Megan! Out of all of those, Blueberry, Pumpkin Pie, Hibiscus Tea, Fireplace, and Paperback are the "must haves" on my list.

Paperback may seem a little weird, but my two absolute favorite smells in the world are burning wood and the smell of a good book. Knowing me, I would probably mix my Tiramisu perfume with Paperback, and voila! I'm wearing Barnes & Noble!

Of course, I'll probably never order any of this stuff...at least not until next year!

Becky, that is hilarious! That made my day.

Becky, trust me, I'm surprised those words came out of my mouth. This will probably be one of the rare times I'll actually be able to encourage anyone to stay on a no buy.

Kimmer: Yeah, in general the lasting power of Demeter scents is pretty lousy.

Well there goes that idea ...$18 per 1oz for a scent that isn't even long lasting isn't high on my list of must buys or must trys .

Thanks for the input BBW Rawks .

Sure.

Demeter has fun scents but the staying power is so crappy. I wouldn't pay full price for it either. I'll only get it if it's super cheap. I saw some for $5 before but the Kahala Blue Hawaiian was the only one I was interested in and it was sold out.

Becky, Chocolate Covered Cherries smells a lot like TD Fantiasia...

Becky,

I started collecting Demeter a few years ago and had quite a few, but sold most of them. I just have a few of my favorites left and that would be Brownie which is good, and my favorite of them all which is Graham Cracker and croquembouche. The kahalas are all pretty good too.

I had the Snow, but didn't like that at all. It was mostly alcohol and smelled like turpentine on me. The cinammon's (toast,bun, etc) were mostly a strong fake cinnamon. Birthday cake was a disappointment along with sugar cookie. Hibiscus tea is horrible. There is no tea scent and I had to wash that off in a hurry. I also had a sample of Funeral Home and that scent is indescribable it was so bad.

Banana Flambe is a very sweet fake banana and the reviews are pretty bad on that one.

The rest of the Demeter scents on your list are really good and think you would like them all. I wish that the scent lasted longer though.

I received two VS catalogues in the mail today, and the swimsuit one had a perfume strip with two new Demeter Kahala scents Blue Hawaiian and Hawaiian Surf.
Hawaiian Surf is a bit perfumey but not too bad, but Blue Hawaiian is awesome, it smells just like pineapple candy.

Hmm, thanks for the heads up Anan. I was hoping it would smell like the boxed chocolate cherries that you can buy at Christmas for $1 a box.

I agree that Blue Hawaiian smells like just pineapple candy. I still want to get it but only if I can get it for cheap.
