Gorgeous!
"Gorgeous scent! Exactly what I was looking for . . . truly like walking into a florist's shop. Like roses and peonies, just fabulous."
The Scent: We apologize to other cities at the beginning, but the Philadelphia Flower Show really is the best in the United States. Demeter has captured the size, variety and freshness of that Philadelphia experience in our Flower Show Pick-Me-Up Cologne, for you to experience whenever you choose.
The Inspiration: Philadelphia gave birth to America's first horticultural society, The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, in 1827 and the nation's first flower show, the Philadelphia Flower Show, in 1829. In 1996 the Show moved to its current location at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, where it encompasses 33 indoor acres, with exhibit space taking up 10 acres of the main exhibit hall. The Show's expanded size and scope makes it the largest indoor Flower Show in the world, entertaining crowds of over 275,000 people annually.

"Gorgeous scent! Exactly what I was looking for . . . truly like walking into a florist's shop. Like roses and peonies, just fabulous."
"I didn't like the scent, it's a pity that the return is at the customer's expense"
"I like it, but it was more green than floral if that makes sense? Smells very fresh"
"Really smells like a flower shop more rose smell in heat but put it in the refrigerator n it smells like a cold flower shop just like you open the door to the freezer n smell the water roses stem smell I like it I’ll buy it again"
"Oh my gosh I love this. It smells so fresh just like the cold flower section when you open the fridge at a flower shop. I love so many of Demeter fragrances. I highly recommend this one. I have several and I love them all but my very favorite is beeswax and flower show. Lilac and honeysuckle are great too."
"This smells exactly like a flower shop. They hit the nail on the head. It smells exactly like a cooler filled with lots of cut flowers which is a very comforting smell."
"along with Wet Garden by demeter, this is my favorite scent. It smelled like flower shop. Love it"
"This is my all-time Demeter fave. I use the diffuser oil. It reminds me of trips to the garden center in the spring with my mom when I was a little girl, to pick out flowers to plant around the house. It smells like a soft, fresh, beautiful mix of different flowers mixed with green."
"My very first order from Demeter contained a whole slew of scents I thought I would love, and a sample roller of flower show. I didn’t care for much of the scents I first tried but immediately fell in love with flower show. The scent is so deep and rich - like walking into a floral shop. The fresh green smells compliment the florals so nicely that this truly is an immersive smell that instantly lifts my mood. This is my go-to scent for “occasions” and dates and also layers beautifully with my everyday favorite of Cuba (from the destination series). I always keep this scent on hand in the body oils for adding to baths for an extra luxurious experience."
"Not a bad scent. Quite watery and light florals. I can see why others have said it smells like a flower shop. But I get sick of this scent after a while, and there seems to be a slight fakey/plastic note in there that becomes more apparent over time."
