DEMETER - Petrichor Scented Roll-On 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.

Light fragrance that lasts.

I wish the descriptions were better at naming the scents. The perfume was not what I expected at all. I was expecting cotton and was gagged by vanilla. It is a strong scent as all the perfumes I purchased were. It wouldn't get off my skin and that could be an issue for some.

I was so excited to get this roll on perfume oil as I love that clean ozone smell after the rain hits the ground. All this smelled like to me out of the bottle and on my skin is cucumber. In addition, the longevity is lacking, the scent was gone within minutes. Sadly, I feel like I wasted my money and I can't recommend this perfume oil :(

I adore the smell of petrichor, so I ordered this. As I thought about it while waiting I thought, hmm, how much will it smell like rock? Well, the answer is it's not at all mineral-y. There are subtle whiffs of petrichor but it's as if they are in a garden of some sort. I've been trying to sort out the other notes. Subtle rose and grass, but that's as far as I can get. Overall, it's pretty and definitely summery. I usually use rose oil in the summer, so this is a nice scent to switch it up. More complex than rose alone, but not really petrichor.
