Demeter :: Perfume Houses

Demeter fragrances

Perfume house founded by Christopher Brosius and Christopher Gable in 1993. Their first release was Fresh Water.

Their huge "Fragrance Library" now has 200+ scents that range from the evocative (Crust of Bread, Gingerale, Sugar Cookie) to the somewhat odd (Stable, Sushi, Humidor) to the downright bizarre (Turpentine, Earthworm, Funeral Home).

The company was acquired by Freedom Marketing Group in 2002, and Brosius has since left Demeter to launch the new line CB I Hate Perfume.

See reviews for Grass, Greenhouse, Christmas Tree & Condensed Milk, Baby Powder, Ginger Cookie, Redhead in Bed, Between the Sheets and Fiery Curry, Incense & Holy Smoke, Thunderstorm and Cannabis Flower, Gingerale, Chocolate perfumes from Demeter, Beetroot & Pruning Shears, Dulce de Leche, Espresso, Chai Tea & Whiskey Tobacco.
