Given its strong, albeit short-lived, photorealistic earthy scent, Dirt is best suited for extremely casual settings or as a personal indulgence. Its very intimate sillage and poor longevity make it inappropriate for formal events or the office, where subtlety and persistence are usually desired. Many mention it's solely for layering due to its unique nature and weak performance.

About

Demeter Dirt delivers a strikingly authentic olfactory experience of freshly turned soil. Imagine damp, nutrient-rich earth after a good rain, with subtle mineralic undertones and a surprising hint of green and a peculiar sweetness, like cornstalks or even beetroot. It's the scent of a garden centre or a walk through a dewy, leaf-strewn path.
