Demeter Frozen Pond ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 27 February 2010 23 Comments

Demeter Frozen Pond

Demeter has launched Frozen Pond, a new fragrance inspired by the 2010 Winter Olympics:

Remember that winter's day when you first went down to the local pond, hoping it froze overnight so you could skate? No adults, no supervision, just that specialness of being a kid, in all its glory.

Frozen Pond captures that unique time and elemental character: water, earth and cold.

Dazzling and transparent, Frozen Pond is a lovely year round scent evoking the quiet chill of a Winter morning just before dawn.

Demeter Frozen Pond is available in 15, 30 or 120 ml Cologne ($6 – $39.50) and in matching bath & body products. (via demeterfragrance)

    Everyone knows that if it’s cold enough for a pond to freeze hard enough to skate on you’re not going to be smelling anything but Eau de Scarf! 😉

      Knowing Demeter, that smell is probably in there too.

    I’m curious to take a sniff and find out how they actually rendered this idea.

    They just announced building of a skating rink in this area… but reading this made me think of a skating outing in New Jersey when I was about nine. Then in the last 20-30 years it seemed like it hasn’t been sufficiently cold enough for that anymore. Sad. I wonder if there’s much skating on ponds in the mid-atlantic anymore.

      Not *much* – it’s been cold enough this winter, but maybe it’s been TOO cold – cold enough to freeze the ice, windy enough to make it lumpy rather than smooth, and Cold and Windy makes for a miserable skating experience…

      Many of the places that allowed outdoor skating in the DC area when I was young no longer do, sadly — liability issues, I assume.

    Well, it’s a little late for an Olympic’s perfume. I was always of the opinion that a Canadian company like Lise Watier who makes Neiges, should have come out with Olympic fragrances a year ago. Small sizes would have made great souvenirs and could have sold just as long as any flankers. They could have been called Snowflake, Maple Syrup, and because this is a classy, clean blog, I’ll just say the third named after a dam-building mammal!

      It was probably out earlier & just not on their website. Or I missed it.

    Like all good prairie-raised Canadians, I learned to skate on my family’s frozen pond. Ahhh the memories! I’m so trying this and if this smell makes me half as happy as skating outside does, I will be wearing it all the time!

    Mmm, sounds like CB’s Winter 1972: the smell of mittens and snow. I can’t wear it as a proper perfume, but I love to dab a drop on the back of my hand and take furtive bunny sniffs of it throughout the day.

    I love winter. I think all perfume-lovers do. Kafka was wrong: it’s perfumes, not novels, that are ice-axes to smash the frozen sea within us.

      That’s a great scent (the CB). But I detest winter.

    I agree with Celestia—should’ve come out a year ago with flankers to boot! BTW, Le Beaver, (what? it’s just an animal with big incisors!) probably would have sold the best of all, if just for the humor.

    This Frozen Pond—I’d like a sniff—but I can’t wear Demeters —they all end up in room freshener territory in about 10 minutes.

    I have a bottle of Demeter’s “First Frost” and find it to be chilly and clean and wonderful. To me it’s best on an autumn day when I’m still looking forwards to cooler weather. By the time proper winter weather comes around, I have no interest in smelling frost. I’m curious how it will compare to Frozen Pond.

      LOL…I am NEVER looking forward to cooler weather! I should stick with Demeter Swimming Pool 🙂

    I’m really curious. Not a fan of Demeter at all, but I need a scent that is 100% ‘frozen’. It doesn’t need to be complex, just nice & really cold, not those aqua notes, not floral/fruity. Do you think FP is what I’m looking for?

      Uhm I mean aqua as in the “heavy aquatic notes for men” 😀
