I'm only just trying Demeter now! Yes unbelievably I've never tried them before and I figured (while starring at a bewildering WALL of testers) Thunderstorm would be a good place to start. The opening has a real wow factor, there's some seriously accurate, sensory, trickery going on here. It smells very much like the damp vegetation aftermath, carried though the still statically charged air of a thunderstorm. This is a brilliant realization of an olfactory concept. I can't see myself praising many of these because they're not really 'fragrances' as much as one note ponies. Thunderstorm however actually feels like a composition, some lightly metallic and mineral elements, water, a breezy hint of aldehyde, grasses, the earthy wet soil of smell patchouli maybe some vetiver. The balance and the dimensions are perfect to create a 'carried on the air' sort of feel. As it settled on my skin it did become more of a dirty patchouli and I feared that the opening was too short but then keep reverting back to the wonder of the beginning. This is an interesting scent and not my usual cup of tea but I found it to be a wonderful experience. Lasting power was better than most of these but that ain't saying much.
