Just dab a little paint behind each ear

For those that just can’t get enough of that “fresh paint smell”…
I have always liked the smell of fresh paint. It signals that something is being transformed, refreshed, or made new again.
There is something genuinely satisfying to me in being able to put on a coat of paint and breathe new life into a home, a room, or an object. Even when its not my project or home, one whiff of the smell of fresh paint brings back those good feelings.
Since most paint manufacturers and homeowners alike have found creative ways to eliminate the odor associated with paint, I thought that I was one of just a few quirky folks that had positive associations with the smell.
You can imagine my surprise to find that Demeter actually makes a “pick me up cologne” that smells like - you guessed it - paint! It seems I am not alone in my feelings.
Wondering why Demeter bottled this fragrance? Sephora offers this explanation about what’s behind the brand:
A pioneer in the fragrance industry, Demeter was the first brand to recognize that scent is your memory’s best friend. From Sugar Cookie to Angel Food to Fuzzy Navel, Demeter’s creations are so dead-on, they truly transport you to a certain time and place. Scents like Dirt beckon childhood memories of playing in the backyard, while the sweet scent of Mojito reminds us of late-nights out with the girls.
Demeter’s unique approach to fragrance has landed them a cult following, and the recognition of the fragrance industry. The brand has won four FiFi Awards (the perfume equivalent of an Oscar®) from the Fragrance Foundation and their collection of top-selling scents is on display at the Smithsonian Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum in New York.
With a Fragrance Library filled with over 170 single-note scents, Demeter has secured its reputation as one of the most innovative and refreshing fragrance brands around. The company’s success can be attributed to unique formulations, first-rate technology, clean packaging, unsurpassed precision, and boundless imagination. The result, which Demeter fans have come to expect, is the unique journey and personalized experience that comes with each and every spritz.
If you want to find your “fresh paint fix in a bottle,” you will have to visit PerpetualKid. While Sephora offers several of Demeter fragrances, it does not sell “Paint.”
Of course, you could always just save yourself the $18.99 and get to work on that painting project you’ve been putting off.
