(11/14/09) Vetiver by Demeter Fragrance Library is a warm, strong root aroma… dark and ripe. Vetiver has a rich history. In India it has been used to make blinds necessary to keep out the intense heat. When the blinds are sprinkled with water they emit the vetiver scent. In Java the root has been used for centuries in weaving mats and thatching huts. The vetiver root is used in folk magic for its purported ability to provide safety and increase financial resources. A ritual designed to promote personal safety calls for inhaling vetiver while visualizing one’s body as being sealed off from negative energies.See less

(11/14/09) Calm is called for. Break out the sandalwood! One of the oldest incense materials, Sandalwood has been used for over four millennia. Sandalwood is a very important ingredient in Japanese incense, in both traditional and modern formulas. Today, the Mysore forests are virtually depleted and the remaining trees too immature to produce quality Sandalwood or Sandalwood oil. As the tree grows, the essential oil develops in the roots and heartwood, which requires 15 to 20 years. The core of dark heartwood gradually develops, which is covered by outer sapwood. The sandalwood tree is never felled, but uprooted in the rainy season, when the roots are richer in the precious essential oil. It is our belief that the highest quality Sandalwood is coming out of Tamil Nadu where more mature trees can be found, and that is what we use for Demeter’s Sandalwood cologne.See less

(11/14/09) Sherlock was onto a good thing, at least scent-wise. We love the smell of a good pipe. Demeter’s Pipe Tobacco is rich, deep, moist and pungent, with touches of both sweetness and spice; everything you could ask for from a fine tobacco accord. So apparently did Native Americans. The origin of tobacco use in the Western world started with the discovery of the Americas. When, in his 1492 trip to the Americas--not the West Indies as he imagined, Christopher Columbus arrived to Bahia Bariay in the Oriente Province of Cuba, and heard from the local natives that there was gold at nearby Cubanacan (or the "middle of Cuba"). Columbus misunderstood the word 'Cubanacan' and heard it say "el Gran Can," the Great Khan of China. Immediately, he sent emissaries bearing gifts (glass beads and trinkets) to meet this famous potentate. They met the local "cacique" or chief, but the Great Khan was nowhere to be found. In their return to the ship they met a walking party of Taino indians who "were going to...See less

(11/14/09) Myrrh is the aromatic gummy substance (resin) exuded by certain trees and shrubs growing in eastern Africa (Somalia) and Arabia. Myrrh has been used from remote ages as an ingredient in incense, perfumes, etc., in the holy oil of the Jews and the Kyphi of the Egyptians for embalming and fumigations. It is mentioned in an Egyptian papyrus dated 2000 B.C. Traditionally, myrrh was a standard magical herb to be included in the tools of everyone, burned to purify and protect and used to consecrate and purify ritual tools and objects needing to be blessed. One of the original scents, not just in history, but in pre-history, fragrances like Myrrh are one of the reasons the Fragrance Library exists.See less

(11/14/09) Linden is a beautiful green floral that grows on trees. So much for good things not growing on trees (just don't call Mom and tell her). In Europe, many legends and superstitions are centered on these trees. Linden wood was used for carving sacred works of art. Among the Germanic peoples the linden was a "sacred" tree for people in love, the tree that brought fertility and prosperity. In the Middle Ages, people carved images of the Virgin Mary and figures of the saints from linden wood, calling the wood lignum sacrum, sacred wood.See less

(11/14/09) Demeter’s incense is a warm, deep, rich blend of exotic notes. It is inviting and enveloping, the kind of scent that is both simple and complex at the same time. There is no effort needed to appreciate it, yet every time you experience Incense from Demeter you will find new depth and nuance. Demeter’s Incense is centered on a unique core of Copal. Copal is a type of resin produced by plant or tree secretions, particularly identified with the forms of aromatic tree resins used by the cultures of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica as a ceremonially burned incense, as well as for a number of other purposes. More generically, the term copal is now also used to describe resinous substances in an intermediate stage of polymerization and hardening between more viscous and 'gummy' resins and amber.See less

(11/14/09) Our Christopher Gable used to give his Dad cigars every Christmas. It became sort of a family joke because Christopher and his Dad knew his mother couldn't abide the odor of them. Christopher came to think that really she was right, but he loved the scent of the cigars before they're smoked, right in the humidor where they're kept. On a trip to Montreal a few years ago, in the hotel, where he was staying there was a walk-in humidor in the gift shop. He asked the clerk if he could smell the inside of the humidor. He was greeted by a mixture of alarm and confusion but allowed to proceed. Inside the small glass room was the mixtures of rich tobaccos he had expected, but also the ozone smell of cold in the air, not exactly refrigerant, but simply that manufactured "cold" scent. Lovely together. We worked on it till we got both those elements in proper balance for Demeter's own Humidor scent, a balanced and irresistible combination of tobacco, spices and ozone.See less

(11/14/09) We think this scent is lick-able. It's just sex in a bottle. Sugary dripping nectar, the result of the love affair between blossoms and bees. There are hundreds of varieties all over the world and you can eat it straight from the honeycomb. Cave people ate it Spain. The ancient Egyptians loved and revered it. And certainly the Romans had a hand in popularizing it. The flavor and scent of honey is destroyed by heating. So, eat it straight from the Jar. Or hive of you're lucky enough. Or just get our Honey and breathe in.See less

(11/14/09) This is a very pretty floral with a lovely warm base oftea notes. Have you ever wondered what the Pharaohs of the ancient Nile Valley drank to refresh themselves in the desert heat? Hibiscus tea. And throughout history until the present, hibiscus tea has been a preferred beverage in many cultures, in China, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Europe. In fact, all over the world people drink hibiscus tea for health (said to lower blood pressure), for cooling, for a relaxing refreshment (no caffeine), for ceremonies (every wedding and celebration in Sudan and Egypt is "toasted" with glasses of hibiscus tea), and for plain,old enjoyment.See less

(11/14/09) Comfort in a cup, lovely bergamot............milk? lemon? One lump or two? The legend is that a British diplomat, sent as part of a trade delegation to China in 1834 by the second Earl Grey, saved the life of a mandarin's son who was drowning. The grateful mandarin gave the diplomat a recipe for a blend of tea to present to the Earl. The second Earl Grey passed it onto his tea merchant, who used the recipe to recreate the blend for the Earl's private use. The tea was so well received among the Earl's guests that they began asking where they could buy the tea. The Earl gave it his name, and the rest is history. Earl Grey is a blend of fine black China teas and the natural oil of bergamot, a pear-shaped citrus fruit. The name bergamot comes from the Turkish for 'prince's pear'. Bergamot is grown exclusively in Italy and Sicily. It has very powerful oil that can be pressed out of its rind. It is this oil that is blended with the tea to provide the aromatic and distinctive flavor that is...See less

(11/14/09) Little is known about the origins of the coriander plant, although it is generally thought to be native to the Mediterranean and parts of southwestern Europe. Experts believe its use dates back to at least 5,000 BC. References to coriander can be found in Sanskrit writings, and the seeds were placed in Egyptian tombs. In Plants of Love, Christian Reach states that ancient Egyptians and Greeks believed coriander had aphrodisiacal properties. Dioscorides, a Greek physician and author of several renowned books on the medicinal qualities of herbs, believed ingesting coriander spice could heighten a man's sexual potency. On a different note, coriander even rates a mention in the Old Testament. In Exodus, chapter 16, verse 31, it says that: "And the house of Israel called the name there of Manna: and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey." But is coriander a spice or a herb? Technically, the word coriander can be used to describe the entire...See less

(11/14/09) Sweet, fresh...light, green... Bamboo regenerates itself eternally. The life span of a single bamboo is not very long-about 20 years-but the grove stands forever. The fully mature bamboo sends most of the organic nutrients prepared by its leaves down through paths in the vascular bundles, which run vertically down the culms, to its rhizomes, which form the vast, complicated underground network that creates its progeny. New bamboo shoots are produced every year from these rhizomes, ensuring the survival of the bamboo grove. It is from the new, smaller shoots of the bamboo plant – very green with a lightly fruity tone-that the delicate green scent of Demeter’s Bamboo Pick-Me-Up cologne is derived.See less
