DEM04A [EDP]

DEM04A EAU DE PARFUM

//

[Demeter, Summer]

A fragrant expression of the Demeter, the Goddess of Agriculture and Harvest during the time in which her Daughter Persephone, is by her side on the natural world – what us mere mortals call ‘Summer”.

With this fragrance, we sought to emulate an innocent, familiar and comforting blanket of fruits and florals – reminiscent of summer as a child.  

As the fragrance deepens, Demeter's fruits and flowers exude the sweetest of scents, ripening and blossoming in joyful abundance.
