This Is Not A Pipe Body Lotion
The Scent: Demeter's This Is Not A Pipe cologne just smells like a pipe. This is the way we feel about our scents. It's not the thing itself, but it's a very particular experience of it. A beautiful concept. We're going to lie in the grass and dwell on it for a bit...
The Inspiration: OK, we couldn't help ourselves. Keep reading, and you will understand what we mean. Blame that formative Art History course. And all that post modern literature in college. 'This is not a Pipe' is the title of a painting by Rene Magritte, painted in the 1930s. It shows a very realistic looking pipe and under it are the words "Ceci n'est pas une pipe" or This is Not a Pipe, i.e., it's a picture not a thing. Wow, heavy! And very cool too. Get it?
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.
