Demeter Petrichor Cologne Spray - 1 oz - Perfume for Women

I got this perfume as a gift for my sister, unfortunately I accidentally dropped down the stairs when I was on my way to putting gifts underneath the Christmas tree. Even tho the perfume soaked the tile, it wasn’t overwhelming powerful or gave me headaches, it smelled like a foggy rainy day. My mom told me this reminded her of her dad, so she got one as well. I ended up buying a second one for my sister and she wears it every single day.

Ehhh. For some reason it smelled oddly sweat-like to me and cheap. It was also the first time I bought a perfume and wore it multiple times but have not had a single person tell me that I smell good.

I like this brand for its variety of interesting smells. But their "petrichor" does not smell like earth after rain. It smells a LOT like baby powder. I actually enjoy that smell, in small doses. So. I'll slowly use it. But not the refreshing scent I was hoping for

It has a nice smell, but not exactly what it is supposed to be.

Lighter smell than real petrichor (which is deeper and earthier), but SUCH a nice smell! Scratches that itch when it hasn't rained for awhile and leaves me feeling fresh and clean.

It smells more like a mix of artificial watermelon mixed with just straight up hand sanitizer, no where near the advertised petrichor scent, which is the smell you get after a rainfall. Plus it's very, very strong, which WOULD be good, if it smelled good. I cannot recommend this in good faith. Only saving grace is it smells much better after it tones down, which it needs to do a lot of.

Petrichor seems to be the fragrance that everyone wants but nobody seems able to replicate for whatever reason. And this one's no exception. I think maybe mine was possibly a mis-labelled bottle, a mistaken mixture or something. As I cannot fathom someone actually messing up the fragrance this badly unless it was a joke. Upon getting it and testing it, it took me only seconds to place the smell, it smells like watermelon with soapy notes. And if that doesn't remind you of a rainy afternoon, don't worry, that means you're normal. It smells absolutely nothing like petrichor. I even brought it up to others to ask if they thought the same thing and the general consensus was that it smelled like watermelon. Unfortunately, nobody wanted it and I believe I ended up throwing it out.

I had my doubts about "petrichor" because I didn't think it could be created. I'm in love with this scent! I'm going to try other scents too, in the future. The scent lasts long on my skin. Definitely worth a try if you haven't, and wish to try something new, THIS is it!
