Demeter?

I have fucking FINALLY bought a perfume other than BPAL, lol! I have weird chemical allergies and have to hold my breath walking through the perfume counter at department stores, and I can't use alcohol sprays, but I saw Demeter has inexpensive little roll-on perfume oils so I thought I'd see if I could wear those. I got Lavender, Natural Lavender, and Petrichor (because how could I not get Petrichor, for the boy or girl who's tired of waiting). I have some friends who really love Demeter, has anyone here tried their stuff? Any recs or non-recs?

I'm sorry! I knew that and had a brain fart. :(

Well, it's not perfume, but my mom gave me a Naked Bee gift set with lavender lotion, body butter, and a lip balm and it is intensely fragranced with a true lavender smell. No hint of sweetness.

I really love that mentholated, almost medicinal quality of lavender. And this has it in spades.

Mom likes it because it's gluten free, and she's convinced that even topically applied gluten could trigger celiac. I'm not as convinced (I mean for lipsticks, sure, of course), but I like this brand.
