Demeter "Funeral Home" Fragrance



Demeter Fragrance Library offers some amazing products. Play-do perfume? Got it. Sawdust (my boyfriend's favorite smell in the world)? Got it. Candies? Of course. Funeral home? .... why, yes, they do.

According to the description on the Demeter website:
Funeral Home is a blend of classic white flowers: lilies, carnations, gladiolus, chrysanthemums with stems and leaves, with a hint of mahogany and oriental carpet. This scent actually started out to be Flower Show. Now our founding perfumer personally did NOT like most white flowers so this was a tough fragrance for him to develop, so he consulted on it with partner, Christopher Gable. When he first smelled this one, Christopher Gable exclaimed “It smells like my Grandfather’s funeral… Let’s call it Funeral Home!” So we did.


Fortunately, no formaldehyde is detected in the perfume.

Welcome!

Welcome to my new blog highlighting my professional interests! I hope some of my Hella♥Blog! readers and other funeral directors will like it. :)

I am a mortuary science student who is getting into the industry when women are joining in record numbers. 80% of the students enrolled in the mortuary sci program at my school are female. I believe this gender shift has made some real creative changes in funeral services. I would like to put a spotlight on the unique services that are being offered now and in the future.
