Continuing with yesterday’s theme, here are two more fragrances from Demeter:
Thunderstorm was released by Demeter a few years back. It is an extraordinarily evocative scent, almost uncanny in its ability to call up a thunderstorm in early spring: the electricity, the humidity hanging heavy in the air, the almost-metallic rush of ozone. The really fun part — the part that actually smells like a storm — doesn’t last long, but while it does, it is eerie enough that you could probably cause a small child to have a nightmare by spraying it in their room as they were sleeping.
The dry down is the smell that is left after the storm, largely wet leaves and water-soaked earth, and something vaguely chalky that almost mimics the smell of rain drying on hot pavement…
