I had an opportunity to smell some of the newer Demeter fragrances @ Urban Outfitters a couple of days ago. Redhead In Bed: Smells like lemonade.  It's nice, but not enough for me to pay $19 for a PMU. Jelly Belly Hot Fudge Sundae: It's a cherry chocolate scent.  I didn't care for it.

I've been looking for these in stores and haven't been able to find them.  I know the Sephora website says that it's "online only" for them, but... Don't you think they'd be in some store somewhere??

Other than Sephora, the only other stores that I've seen carry Demeter are Urban Outfitters, Ulta, & Anthropologie. I ordered 2 of them from VS b/c I had some discount codes & a gift card. So when they get here, I'll have some reviews.

Those were the 2 I wanted to try! I can't wait to hear your review. Are you expecting them before Valentine's Day?

They're backordered until 2/13, so I don't think they'll be getting here before Valentine's.

So much for being Valentine's scents...it's a really cute idea though. I'll be looking forward to your reviews, Megan. I'm hoping to find them somewhere so I can test them, but I'm not too confident that I'll be able to find them in stores. I don't have an Urban Outfitters near me, Sephora is out since it's online only, and VS is probably online only as well. I plan to try Ulta tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestion of Anthropologie, because there's one right across the street from Ulta in my area. Hopefully one of the two stores will have these out.

They're here! I was expecting to like Call Me more than Be My Valentine, but the reverse happened. Be My Valentine is a fresh, fruity scent.  Call Me is more of a heavier floral scent & there's something in there that reminds me of a licorice scented marker. I wouldn't say it's the worst perfume ever, but it just wasn't what I was expecting.  I think I'll exchange Call Me for some underwear.

I was reading the Now Smell This blog & saw that the newest Demeter is Frozen Margarita. Sure enough, it's up on the website. I think I'm going to have to get this! Demeter Frozen Margarita

I received my Demeter order today!  That was pretty fast.  Frozen Margarita is good, it smells exactly like an original margarita. I was actually hoping for a little lime scent to it. I am not getting any lime at all. Its still nice, but not as good as I was expecting. Cosmopolitan Cocktail is kinda weird, I am getting a funky smell from it. I cant even describe what it is. Almost like rubbing alcohol  . At least it was free. Caramel is my favorite from my order. It smells exactly like BBW Creamy Caramel. It actually lasted a little while on me. Normally Demeter fragrances have little staying power on me (the Frozen Margarita has lasted the longest on me) I think the Caramel will be really good in the fall.

Hmm...how does Frozen Margarita compare to Philosophy Señorita Margarita? I think the Caramel one is good too.  And I normally don't like bakery scents in perfume form.
