Official Demeter Summertime Decant Post
Demeter Summertime Decant Circle
"Bottles of Sunshine"
The weather here in Chicago has been drab at best these last few weeks, and I'm hungry for Summer! Even if it's from a bottle.
Decants will be 1 dram roller vials (about 1/2 to 2/3 filled -this was the smallest vial I could find with a roller top) and will cost a dollar per scent. Shipping will be 2.50 regardless of number of scents chosen. And I must regretfully request that paypal fees be covered as well. (paypal fees calculator)
Math! ...We are doing nine scents total.
A full set of 9, including shipping and paypal fess will run you $12.15.
[9 for decants, 2.50 for shipping and fees: 0.35 (2.9% PayPal transaction fee) + 0.30 USD (PayPal fixed fee)]
8 scents total of: $11.12
7 scents total of: $10.09
6 scents total of: $9.06
5 scents total of: $8.03
4 scents total of: $7.00
3 scents total of: $5.97
2 scents total of: $4.94
1 scent (does anyone really have that willpower??) $3.91
and of course, there will be little extras stuck in to each package :) Paypal address for payments: saribeth@livejournal.com, please include your lj name!
On to the scents!
Dandelion:
At Demeter, we value the Dandelion for its delicate, almost gossamer, green and slightly sweet floral scent, a reminder of childhood springtime, anytime.

Grass:
Playing in it.......lying on it......or even mowing it....Grass smells wonderful.
In Demeter’s Grass Pick-Me-Up Cologne, we have captured the freshness and sweetness of a lush green grass

Earthworm:
Demeter’s Earthworm is a deeper, darker, richer version of Dirt, reflecting not the worm itself, but where it lives, deep in moist soil, on the floor of a forest covered with decomposing leaves.

Firefly:
Demeter’s Firefly seeks to capture the essence of an early northeastern spring evening at dusk, the smells associated with the kind of magical night when the first fireflies of the year appear.

Bonfire:
Our version of Bonfire has a decidedly American, point of view. We remember a less complicated and less regulated time, when we would rake the fallen, dried maple leaves from the lawn into large piles, which our fathers would burn, making the bonfires of our youth. It is that smell of burning maple leaves that is the heart of our Bonfire cologne.

Pink Lemonade:
Refreshing. Satisfying. Let out a long piquant “Ahhhhhhhhhhh”. Demeter’s Pink Lemonade is just lemons, water, sugar and grenadine (pomegranate syrup). That's it. And that's really all you need.
Homemade from a stand? From a mix? At family reunion perhaps? Refill anyone?

Strawberry Icecream:
"... after which came a Dessert no less Curious; Among the Rarities of which it was Compos'd, was some fine Ice Cream which, with the Strawberries and Milk, eat most Deliciously."
At Demeter, we agree with Mr. Black-what could be more scrumptious than Strawberry Ice Cream, made with the freshest strawberries and sweet cream? A refreshing treat from Demeter, on a hot summer’s day, or anytime you need a bit of summer year around.

Suntan Lotion:
Coppertone? Hawaiian Tropic? An ultra-luxury brand? Demeter’s Suntan Lotion is coco butter scented and smells like . . . well, you know which brand.... Whatever you use, it's a great scent. And here it is 365 days of the year. Any week. Any month. Any hour. Day or Night.

And just for fun...
Play-Doh:
Demeter has bottled that fresh, just-out-of-the-can, “eau de PLAY-DOH” aroma as part of a year-long celebration of the beloved modeling compound’s 50th birthday. The 1-ounce, spray bottle fragrance is meant for ‘highly-creative people, who seek a whimsical scent reminiscent of their childhood.’

IF SOMETHING IS CLOSED UP AND YOU WANTED IN, LET ME KNOW, I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE HOW MANY WE'LL BE GETTING OUT OF THESE, (AT LEAST 5) I'LL GIVE UP MY SPOT TO YOU.
Please check back to this post for updates!
I typically have a speedy turn around for circles (you know... for all TWO that I've done, lol) and the supplies are already en route, so I expect these to be out to you by the end of next week!

SPREADSHEET up. Not very detailed, just makes it easier for me when it comes time to do the decanting.
My roller-bottles should come today :) No word, yet, from Demeter.

Just wanted to update, since I know I stalk these pages when I am waiting on a circle order ;) I got the shipment of empty bottles. I may have underestimated our need for roller bottles. I don't *think* I'll run out before all the samples are filled, but in the event that I do I will be asking for volunteers to take regular one dram bottles (no roller top) in exchange for some unknown freebie I'll throw into your order. Sorry bout that. I'll keep you posted.
I won't know until the Demeter stuff gets here which I was HOPING would be yesterday, but no. Stupid holiday weekend, :P , lol. I'll have my fingers crossed they get here Tuesday!
Off to make labels now :)

So much for the Demeter stuff getting delivered today! I assumed since they said orders typically go out the same day they're ordered (I placed the order 8am on the 22nd) and they take two days to get to Chicago (so sayeth their website) I should have had it Saturday! Well, somebody dropped the ball here,t hey just went out this morning! :( Slotted for delivery on the 28th.
But! I finished the labels. I'm ready whenever UPS decides to bring them!
I'll get them out to you ASAP!
EDITED:
OMG, I should NOT try to make sense that early in the morning!! I somehow (even though I TYPED the date up there) missed the fact that the 28th is TOMORROW! LOL, I guess I can wait patiently one more day ;) LOL

They are here! And just begging to be played with. Alas, decanting will have to wait till my little ones hit the hay. Strawberry Ice Cream wants me to drink it. and Earthworm? totally. Reminds me of sitting on the edge of the lake, fishing with my dad as a kid. No sign of the fish though, thank goodness! Firefly is the other stand out scent. It's beautiful. Wet grass at dusk.
Can't wait to hear what you guys think of them! They're all being shipped out tomorrow, I'll have DC#s in the afternoon :)

As of yesterday afternoon: Demeter stuff is all on it's merry way to you! We were given a FULL SIZE bottle for free with our order! Very generous considering the value of that bottle was nearly half the value of our entire order! SO. I decanted the heck out of that mutha ;) Everyone that ordered got a sample of the bottle, who's name I will not reveal because surprises are fun!
WARNING!! I ran out of roller bottles, I had enough to fill the original orders however this surprise scent is in a regular dram vial, so be careful when you open the square one!
