The Scent: Autumn in the northeast USA bottled.Sensual and intoxicating, Demeter’s Bonfire captures the scent of burning maple leaves on a cool, crisp fall New England day, 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. The Inspiration: The best part about the beginning of November in Britain is the fact that no sooner has trick or treating finished, preparations for Bonfire Night begin. Bonfire Night can be traced directly to events that occurred around the beginning of November in 1605, known as The Gunpowder Plot. Click here for the entire Bonfire Collection
