    I found Comet 67P the perfume to be interesting, but unwearable 🙂

    But, seriously, thanks for sharing.

    Heard this story on the news this a.m. and thought that if the folks at Demeter aren’t already hard at work, they should be. Is it odd that I’d like to smell this?

      Not odd at all. It would be odd if you wanted to smell like it, though 🙂

    Ha! At first read I thought they meant the real comet and I wanted to make a note to avoid that one in my space tourism trip!
