Salt Air
by Demeter Fragrance Library

Oh this is one of my go to fragrances! I found it in an Anthropologie in Philadelphia years ago and have loved it ever since! There is a saltiness to it, but there is something else, too that I cannot put my finger on. I like unconventional fragrances... and I like to wear men's fragrances... and this one isn't floral or fruity so it's right up my alley! It does remind me of the beach and the ocean and the way you smell when those elements mix with the warmth of your skin. Hmmmm take me away.... it makes me think of the Greek Isles... and when you live in landlocked CO like I do... this fragrance is a must.

I'm disappointed in this one. At first, I thought "woah, this reminds me of summers at home on the beach!," but then came the dry-down. YUCK. There is something very "off" and rancid about the dry-down that I can't quite put my finger on. Although, like all Demeter fragrances, Salt Air didn't last too long, there was still this lingering, dull sickening smell that turned my stomach a couple of hours later. Bleh. Maybe this would work for me as a short-lived room spray to bring back memories of my hometown, but I want it nowhere near my skin!

What Taolady said :)
This might be the poor man's Erolfa but at least sea breezes are not required, it's a fun and uplifting scent--another black mark against you Happy!---This will make you happier than Happy.

Great good morning frag.

A nice fragrance: It smells pretty much salty, and I get a short-lived ocean experience from it, but mainly I get salt. I really enjoy it as a room spray, but it makes a very nice personal fragrance for the times I don't want anything obtrusive.

before going to the beach, I sprayed one arm with Salt Air, and left the other unscented. Devious, no? Or maybe just tragically or simply redundant.

Hours later, subjected to heat, sweat, the ocean breeze and a long dip in the Atlantic, the Salt Air arm smelled just the way I *think* my skin smells after a day on the beach. My right arm, exposed to a day on the beach
un-Demetered, seemed unscented by comparison.

This one should win an award for tenacity. It also gets points for not having that buttery note that makes some beach scents sticky (M. Hulot's Holiday, for example). Long-lasting, too. My favorite beachy scent so far.

I will just add that this fragrance reminds me of the Cliffs of Moher along the southwest coast of Ireland. Beautiful place. This fragrance takes me back, if only for a couple of hours. (I find the sillage on this is better than most Demeters.)
