Demeter has launched Pink Grapefruit, a new fragrance to "beat the end of the summer blues":
Fabulously refreshing, Demeter’s Pink Grapefruit is a citrus and fruity blend without being sharp, the way grapefruit can be.
A full bodied, attention-getting scent, anytime and anywhere.
Demeter Pink Grapefruit is available in 15, 30 or 120 ml Cologne ($6 – $39.50) and in matching bath & body products. (via demeterfragrance)
I wonder what the chances are that it will stay smelling like grapefruit and not turn to cat pee on me? At least $6 isn’t an expensive mistake.
Yeah, it’s worth $6 to find out! Can’t remember — did you try the DSH Pamplemousse yet?
C: How did those grapefruits I sent you work out?
I’m thinking I might “invest” in a tiny bottle of this since that Hermes Pamplemousse Rose pulls a vanishing act on me.
They are on my list to try this weekend – the weather cooled off a little bit this week, so I’ve been taking advantage of being able wear heavier scents this week.
And.. I just got my new decanting supplies in yesterday, so I will definitely be decanting tonight and getting your stuff shipped out by Monday. I feel like a bad, bad swap partner this week – other than being able to wear URC and Rose 31 this week, it’s been the week from heck and I haven’t been able to get anything done. (Well, I’ve gotten tons of work-stuff done, but not anything fun-related).
Weird that the atomizer is $10 and the splash is $6. Doesn’t seem like the spray mechanism should cost that much. LOL. I’ll decant into my own teeny atomizer.
No kidding – $4.00 for an spray nozzle?
I really, really hope it doesn’t have the cat pee smell!
Yep.
I bow to everyone else’s experience if grapefruit scents take on the amonia scent of a litterbox, but this hasn’t happened to me. However, if you want to try this new scent (I haven’t), use the justification of testing the scientific theory that men who smell women wearing grapefruit think the women are younger than they really are. Spend that $6 in the interest of science. Denise
What do men think about ladies who smell like cat pee? I’m guessing that that we’re older, single and “cat ladies”.
I will not be deterred though – I will find a grapefruit scent that smells like grapefruit on me. Now I just have to wade through my samples.
Cynthia, you made me snort coffee up my nose. Lol!
Personally, I don’t care what men think of me, but since I like grapefruit anyway, I want to give this a shot. Of course, now I’m just worried that everyone else thinks I smell like cat pee and I’m just not noticing it..? THAT I care about!
I agree with the not caring about what men think part – I don’t even care what my own husband thinks about my scent, other than making an effort not to wear something that he abhors when we’re spending a lot of time together.
I do worry about smelling like cat pee or other stuff though – I had a horror movie moment when I read that some people think that Jicky smells like dirty baby diapers. I don’t smell a civet note in it at all – so what if I’m anosmic to it, but other people think that I smell like POO?
I just bought Mals’s vintage Joy parfum that she says smells like dirty panties to her. It smells fine to me, but I could just imagine myself wearing it and having people think I’m all stanky.
What’s better, me smelling like dirty panties or you smelling like baby poo? (I have a small decant of Jicky EDT too, so maybe I’ll switch off the Joy for the Jicky.) Oh well, what can one do…?
I think that I’d rather smell like dirty panties than a dirty diaper – maybe. Oooh.. vintage Joy makes me swoon… I refuse to believe that it smells like dirty panties.
I wonder if there is some hormonal component to how people perceive grapefruit, in addition to the balance of chemicals in the fragrance. I’ve known at least two women who were revolted by grapefruit when they were pregnant, even though they had liked them before.
I don’t like a lot of camomile in fragrance; camomile tea reminds me of fresh (as opposed to aged) cat pee.
‘Cat Pee’, ‘Baby Poo’, ‘Dirty Panties’? Sound like names for a future Demeter collection…
LOL!
LOL – they could bundle them in packages with Laundromat and Pure Soap!
I remember Bath and Body Works trying to push the wearing grapefruit frags = men think you’re younger bit when they launched a now discontinued grapefruit frag a few years back. I think they even had a huge sign over the products. It didn’t help their credibility in my book, but at least the scent was really nice.
I wonder if this will be pure grapefruit or if it’ll have a dash of sweetness like my long gone TBS pink grapefruit that’s nothing like the one they have now. If so, I’m another fortunate perfumista who can wear grapefruit without the dreaded cat pee smell. This sounds perfect for a little wake me up each morning, and just begs to be layered.
I can wear many grapefruits,but not Guerlain Pamplelune.
I don’t believe the “younger” thing for a minute, either.
I can’t wear Guerlain Pampelune, either; it turns bitter on me in a flash. I Love Love is a better grapefruit on me, but still a little harsh. I’m looking forward to try this one, since I love how a fresh grapefruit smells
I wonder if that statistic is actually significant at all. Every study I’ve ever seen indicates that men are predominantly VISUAL —so IF a woman wanted to be perceived by men as younger–she’d be much better off taking a look at hair, makeup and/or clothing choices than her perfume. It’s a darn good thing that these poll takers would never ever manipulate the results to serve their purpose!
Oh, their grapefruit was really good, too! I remember that one. So upset that they discontinued it.
