Eau de Floor: Fragrance Company Recognizes Allure of Wood

Do you find yourself missing the smell of the job site after retiring or even just after a nice long shower? Demeter Fragrance Library of Great Neck, N.Y., can help with its line of sawdust-scented products. For a more complex construction smell, you can layer your Sawdust cologne with Demeter's Glue or Turpentine fragrances. If you're a purist, you can smell like your favorite species of tree; the company offers Giant Sequoia, Mahogany, and-if you're open to alternatives-Bamboo in two varieties. Inspectors may be interested in Mildew. In all seriousness, though, Demeter built its library of products on the idea that a cologne or perfume should be about the user and their emotional response to a smell, not about designers putting their names on some collection of chemicals. Scent is the strongest trigger of memory, so people should pick a scent associated with great memories. An ounce of Sawdust cologne is only $20; for more information visit www.demeterfragrance.com.
