Quince

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

The Story
By Edward Lear
They dined on mince, and slices of quince. Which they ate with a runcible spoon. And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand, they danced by the light of the moon.
