The name of the line itself gives you a clue to its intentions: I Hate Perfume by CB. CB being Christopher Brosius, founder of the Demeter line that brought us grass and dirt and laundry scents, and now debuting with his own line of like-minded anti-perfumes with titles like “In The Library” (leather bindings, worn cloth, wood polish), “Mr. Hulot’s Holiday” (driftwood, seaweed, salt breezes, leather luggage) and “In The Summer Kitchen” (home, herbs, vegetables, evening wind, old rafters).
Besides the unique smells lingering in CB’s bottles, they’re all oil & water-based, rather than being suffused in alcohol. Alcohol, explains Mr. Brosius, dries teh hair and skin and evaporates too quickly. Without it, every scent in the I Hate Perfume line smells exactly as CB intended.
