Demeter "Fireplace"
by itself, 'we have always lived in the castle' is more fruity than any of the other notes listed. "Fireplace" helps the smoke element so that everything is more balanced and less purely gourmand.
I've been transcribing my old personal journal into my dreamdiwth again, had some downtime at work this week, so it seemed like a good time to work on it. I used to be so busy and I used to get so much done, even with friends and dinners out and renfaires and bellydance shows and this and that...these days I don't have that many 'spoons', just the thought of doing more than one or two things in a day is exhausting, and I see people other than my household ....once a month, if that. I think I'm really ready to go be a hermit in the jungle.
The weekend is here and yet again I have no solid plans to do anything or go anywhere. Some vague sense that I *should* have plans, go somewhere, do something, but very little actual want to do.
This fragrance is inspired by the unsettling mystery novel by Shirley Jackson. Made with the scents of black coffee, nutmeg, sugared blackberries (no arsenic included!), sandalwood, and smoke. Fruity, dark, smoky, and musty. Reminiscent of walking through town, dining at Blackwood Manor, and house fires. The perfect combination for poetic introversion and finding happiness in strange and fantastical things!
Fragrance Note(s): Black Coffee • Nutmeg • Sugared Blackberries • Sandalwood • Smoke
Scent Categories: Fruity • Smoky • Musty
“Fate intervened. Some of us, that day, she led inexorably through the gates of death. Some of us, innocent and unsuspecting, took, unwillingly, that one last step to oblivion. Some of us took very little sugar.” — from We Have Always Lived in the Castle, by Shirley Jackson

Demeter "Fireplace"
Demeter has captured a small part of the fireplace tradition, with the wonderful, cozy comforting scent of the fireplace on a cold winter’s eve. It smells exactly like your sweater after sitting for hours in front of a wood fire.

I shall try to make myself like an open fireplace, so that people may be warmed and cheered by it…
