Demeter Sawdust Fragrance

Demeter's Sawdust fragrance aims to capture the rich, earthy scent of freshly cut wood that you would encounter in a working lumber yard or a woodworking shop. This scent is reminiscent of the natural aroma of timber – a combination of wood fibres, a touch of sap, and the slightly metallic scent of a saw blade cutting through the wood. It evokes a sense of productivity and craftsmanship, reminding people of the beauty and potential that lies within raw materials.

In perfumery, woody scents are often used as base notes due to their deep, grounding properties. They are typically rich and warm, providing a solid foundation for the more volatile top and middle notes in a fragrance. Sawdust as a scent, though, is unique – it is not just a woody smell, but a fresh woody smell, more akin to the scent of a tree just after it has been felled or cut, rather than the scent of seasoned or polished wood.

The idea of wearing a scent like Sawdust might seem unconventional, but it’s part of a trend towards more unique and unexpected fragrance notes. These scents can be surprisingly wearable, evoking a sense of comfort and nostalgia for some wearers. For others, they might conjure images of a carpenter’s workshop, filled with the sound of saws and the feel of raw materials being shaped into something new and beautiful.

Moreover, for those who love the great outdoors, or have fond memories associated with woodworking or spending time in a workshop, this fragrance might serve as a delightful reminder of those experiences. It's a way to carry a piece of that world with them throughout the day, to be reminded of the satisfaction of building something with one’s own hands, or simply the comforting and grounding scent of fresh-cut wood.

All About Demeter

In 1993, a new concept in fragrance emerged that completely rocked the industry: the Demeter Fragrance Library. Demeter set itself apart by creating scents designed to evoke specific memories and emotions, reaching back into the past, grounding in the present, and hinting at the future. Unlike many traditional fragrances that are complex and composed of many different notes, Demeter's scents are subtle, simple, and singular.

These fragrances are designed to be worn every day, by everyone, and can be used wherever people go. The core mission of Demeter is to transform the pleasure and luxury of fine fragrance into a fun and affordable experience that is accessible to everyone. Central to this mission is the belief that fragrance should make you smile every time you catch a whiff of it. Demeter strongly believes that fragrance should be personal and meaningful, invoking cherished memories and transporting you to places you’d rather be, whether it's a childhood home, a tropical beach, or a blooming garden.

With this innovative approach, Demeter has introduced a whole new way of thinking about and experiencing fragrance. Instead of being just a perfume or a cologne, a Demeter scent becomes a personal and evocative part of one’s life – as familiar and comforting as a favourite song or photograph. Whether it's the smell of fresh rain, a certain flower in bloom, or the pages of a new book, Demeter’s expansive fragrance library aims to capture these simple pleasures in a bottle, making everyday life a little bit brighter and more enjoyable through the power of scent.
