DEMETER Petrichor Roll On Perfume Oil, 0.33 Oz, Long-Lasting

Imbues the sacred divine every time I wear and inhale this scent.It’s calming without being sedating. It’s bliss without urgency.I want to spritz my pillowcase and fall asleep embraced by this feeling.I want to share this feeling with every one I meet who breathes in as we hold space for each other.Just thinking of this scent, Petrichor, has me tearing with bliss. I had no inkling a perfume could be this. It is almost impossible to describe. I expected some mud or dirt in the scent. There is none.Hints of fresh slightly damp wood, weathered granite and slate? No mold, mustiness, just fresh, all that is beautiful about that distinct fresh smell of damp outside after the first rain of the season when you are standing near the edge of a forest on the base of a mountain. It surpasses its name.Trying to describe this just fails. If you like musky, heavy, strong, or floral, this is not the scent for you.If you like a subtle scent, one that is almost an afterthought. A scent where they hug you and then melt into you, relaxing and not knowing why they feel so serene, safe, pleasing and they just don’t want to step away and are not even aware they feel this way… this is the fragrance for you.Why I say this:I find myself drawn to smell my wrists. When I dotted my neck my spouse and friend who were both having difficult days hugged me, they immediately relaxed and had not mentioned my fragrance, only that they suddenly felt like they had a Xanax that was did not make them tired or unengaged. They thought it was me, but those at the table who had not hugged me, were not affected in this almost instantaneous fashion, even though most were very close friends with me. The 1 person who hugged me that was not my friend, lingered just a little longer in the hug and their breathing slowed as they did. They went from rushing to leisurely walking away after, smiling slightly to themself when just before they had to rush to an appointment they were late for.Did not trigger migraine in anyone:Scents often trigger cluster migraines for me. They also do for a few of my friends I was to meet later. I had bought the roller ball so I could select where I wanted a drop and would be less likely to trigger a migraine. I WILL be buying a spray and a lotion if. It’s available.At first I applied it in dab. I thought I had not applied enough because it was so faint. Even after applying 1 roll 1/4 inch long. It was faint, but still noticeably there. I do have a sensitive sense of smell. My spouse whose smell is impaired, said she could smell there was a scent there but only because I told her it was there. She could not describe it. She said it was a feeling or a state of being she smelled which was an experience previously unknown to her. It was almost mesmerizing, though we wished we had a more precise word. It is not anything you would consciously notice and might not even if you were told there was a scent and then asked to focus and describe it.

this smells SUPER soft, a little sweet and milky almost and just like a baby’s head haha

Be aware that this is "old man smell" in a bottle. Seriously not being mean, but if they set out to create "Old Man Smell", then they nailed it. It does not smell like petrichor. Comes in a roll-on and when first applied it's very floral, but then it fades and becomes what can only be described as the distinct smell of an old man. So if that's what you're into, then you found it!

The scent is like rain on early spring flowers, very light & delicate. It's beautiful. It has zero lasting power unfortunately though, so I use it more as aromatherapy before bed than as a perfume to last the day.

Ok, I knew this brand’s whole thing was single note perfumes, but this was my first experience with them. I liked Juliette Has a Gun so I didn’t figure that would be a problem for me, but at least with this one it’s a little…unexciting, even boring. I have been looking specifically for a petrichor scent, but I’d say this one is more “wet green” than ozone, so it misses the mark for me. It gives more cucumber water vibes than after rain vibes. I don’t like the whole roller ball thing, but it was at least an affordable way to see how I liked it. Possibly due to that method of application it doesn’t have much projection; you really have to get your nose close to the skin to smell it. Wouldn’t buy it again, but appreciate the inexpensive way of finding that out!

My daughter keeps stealing this from me!

I bought several & to be fair it smells like how you would imagine, BUT it doesn't last at all.I timed it & In 5 minutes the scent was basically gone. It was tested on the back of my hand & the scent was not noticable from a distance. When it was initially applied it was noticeable from approximately 6 inches away, but past that the scent was negligible to non-existent.I will update further as I will use on various objects & materials for optimized manners of deployment.

Don’t usually take the time to leave a review, but this one deserved my time. Smells really good- fresh, light, and soapy clean which is exactly what I wanted! Was hesitant with the mixed reviews, but glad I got it anyway.
