but anyway, this is Watermelon Lollipop by Demeter Fragrance Library, a brand that caught my attention a while ago when i was looking for watermelon perfume.
DemeterFL, Inc. is a Great Neck, New York company that sells fragrances based on familiar, "everyday" scents, such as dirt, tomatoes, and chocolate chip cookies. The fragrances are intended to be an evocative, "idealized" representation of these scents, which Demeter calls "single experience fragrances"
maybe it's just me but that whole concept sounded rad as heck, and so for the past month i've been meaning to go to Kleins Perfumery in Fitzroy (to my knowledge the only place i can get it; ebay was an option but i wanted to smell them first)
it was only today i got my chance; dragged Mish along with me, and eventually located the store. oh man, they weren't kidding about everyday scents.
the small amount of testers the store had (maybe 15?) included thunderstorm, ocean, pure soap, rain and brownies. Demeter perfumes are supposedly not very lasting but they lasted a fair while; my right hand smells like marshmallows, my arm smells like dirt and my left arm smells like wet grass. the scents are so realistic it's actually kind of annoying because i spent two hours smelling like a garden.
anyway, i eventually got the one i came for, Watermellon Lollipop which in my opinion smells delicious, absolutely juicy and fresh watermelon. more like watermelon candy or watermelon chewing gum maybe? i'm very happy with it, though it's a little sugary so i might not wear it too often. $29.95; i can't comment on the price because idk how prices for things work? i do know that i don't like spending more than $20 at a time hah.
but yes. i will enjoy walking around smelling like watermelon.
