Have you ever considered the olfactory side of rain? You know it’s coming, you can smell it in the air. It does seem that on summer days when the concrete is hot and dry, with a thunderstorm brewing just over the next hill, you can just smell the rain. The Demeter’s Thunderstorm captures this complex sensory moment perfectly. Like poetry, Thunderstorm is subtle and difficult to define, but real, reflecting the deep and violent nature of a summer storm.
HOW IT WEARS
Thunderstorm is a mineral, ozonic, earthy number with damp vegetal facets. As an Eau de Cologne, it will last 3-4 hours on the skin.
LORE LOVES
Thunderstorm is actually quite a green scent – we like to imagine it as a spectacular storm rolling in over lush green hills, dampening the earth as lightning lights up the sky. Wearing it makes you feel grounded and connected to the earth in a really refreshing way.
ABOUT THE BRAND
Named after the Greek goddess of agriculture, Demeter Fragrance Library was founded in 1996 with a mission to capture the beautiful smells of the garden and nature in the form of wearable fragrance. Their first few scents – Dirt, Grass and Tomato – were immediate hits as they represented such a point of difference in the fragrance market, and still remain cult faves to this day!
Since their debut, Demeter Fragrance Library has expanded to include hundreds of scents. Each of their fragrances draws inspiration from everyday objects and experiences – be it the ones you can find in nature or elsewhere – from Baby Powder to Thunderstorm, from Gin & Tonic to Kitten Fur.
All Demeter fragrances are single note scents, meaning they use the smallest combination of ingredients possible to express an olfactory idea. Notes are linear, which means they express their olfactory nature immediately and do not change over time. Linear is simple, and simple is perfect for every day. This simplicity is what makes Demeter’s fragrances so evocative and transportive – whether they remind you of an at-home creature comfort or a childhood memory, they will always elicit some sort of reaction.
Demeter is now a family-owned and operated business with all their products finished and batched by hand in Pennyslvania, USA. All of their fragrances are at least 95% derived from natural and sustainable sources and are not tested on animals.
