Quince Shower Gel
The Scent: Demeter’s Quince is like a green apple, but lighter, and more transparent. The very radiance of Helen of Troy inspired this fragrance, for many believe the Golden Apple that Aphrodite gave to Paris was a Quince -meaning the power of this fragrance launched the Trojan Wars. How beautiful could such a scent make you feel?
The Inspiration: The sun light in Greece was simply different from New York, different even from the Hamptons, or Montauk. Corfu was a place apart from his experience. Sitting on the balcony, hearing the ocean waves while the smooth tang of the yogurt and the sweet citrus of the quince jam make for breakfast unlike any other. He never knew such peace, yet so much energy
Baby Powder Cologne Spray
The Scent: As clean and as fresh as it gets, like the proverbial freshly powdered baby’s behind. Let Demeter’s Baby Powder takes you on a journey through the pleasures, the innocence and the scents of childhood.
The Story: In the 1890’s, Italian talc was mixed with plasters, to reduce irritation. Soon customers were asking for more talc. Shortly thereafter, that scented talc was being sold as baby powder, creating the link in our minds between the scent of baby powder and fresh cleanliness. It is that fresh scent that is the inspiration for Demeter’s Baby Powder.
