I have tested A LOT of beauty products throughout 2013, from makeup to bath and body to fragrance and more. There are many products that I LOVED and some that I did not like at all. My biggest beauty bummer of 2013 is….
Sweet Cilantro Cologne Spray from Demeter Fragrance Library. I could even say it is a tie for least favorite product with Rain from Demeter (my full review).
I assumed that since I love the smell (and taste) of Cilantro so much in my food that I would love it in a fragrance. WRONG. I suppose it does smell like Cilantro but it is not alluring at all when I wear it. I’m sure there are folks out there who like it or they wouldn’t keep selling it. Unfortunately, I’m not one of them. Next time I crave a Cilantro scent, I’ll just by this this
Demeter is know for their wildly unique scents… have you seen Elvira’s Zombie, or the Hello Kitty Collection? How about the Laundromat scent…or Dirt?
Product purchased by me, all opinions expressed are my own. Affilate link.
What’s your beauty bummer of 2013?
I can’t imaging smelling someone in full Cilantro vibe! I’d eat a cilantro salad but smell, ugh!

Hi Michelle, I hear you loud and clear, ha!
LOL I love that you bought cilantro perfume. I love the smell and taste of it as well, but not sure if I’d want to smell like it either haha! It reminds me of a line that target used to carry years back with scents like fresh cut grass, clean linen etc…I don’t get it, but to each their own I guess LOL!

Hi Megan! I do think I remember that line and I do like “different” scents but this one did not jive with me!
You know, I’ve heard you are either born with or without a certain tastebud that triggers a like for cilantro. I personally hate it!! But I think if I loved it, I would try this as well. Sorry it was not what you wanted!

Yes I’ve read that too! It was definitely a bummer but you can’t win with every purchase I guess.
