I am really excited about this review and giveaway. I even mentioned Demeter Fragrances in my profile random question! Demeter's fragrance library is extensive. Really extensive. Nearly every scent you can think of- they have it.
Scent has a strong connection with memory. My most recent experience with this was at a department store. I was in the cosmetic area and I smelled a familiar scent. It was almost like deja vu. I couldn't figure out where I knew this scent from. It was driving me nuts. Later that night at home, I could still recall that smell, even though I was away from it. Finally it came to me that it was the smell of a facial cleanser my Mother had used when I was very small. Memories I didn't even know I had came flooding back to me. I remembered what the bathroom looked like and that I was sitting on the floor watching my Mom scrub her face in the mirror. I even remember a little vase that sat by the sink. Ha! That smell triggered all of that - I had no idea I even remembered those things!

With scents like Birthday Cake, Bonfire, Christmas Tree, Crayon, Dandelion, Pipe Tobacco and for me the familiar smell of the incense of a Catholic Church - Holy Smoke. These are the singular scents that take your memories back to a certain place or time.
They generous people at Demeter gave me the privilege of trying three of their newest scents -
Mahogany:
A deep, rich, full bodied exotic wood scent, with a touch of spice.Pretty much what a man should smell like.

Hershey's Special Dark:
An absolutely sensual and indulgent chocolate fragrance. Deep, rich and exotic.
White Bouquet :
The beautiful scent of our White Bouquet was inspired by the softest and most delicate white flowers we could find.An utterly romantic white floral scent for anyone who likes the scent or memories created by freshly cut white flowers.
