Tomato

[NOV. 2023] Can confirm, Demeter's Tomato is a gorgeous green scent. Christopher Brossius can't miss when it comes to green genre perfumes. If you really have to, purchase his C.B. I Hate Perfumes collection on eBay. If you are looking for something more grassy however, this does not completely fit the bill. In fact, Hermes' Garden Sur Le Toit contains both grass and tomato leaf notes-- Hermes wins for the impression of meadow grass-- but if you came off disappointed by Hermes' overreliance on watery-airy atmospheric vibes (to the point of diluting the greenery), Demeter's Tomato is more accurate to the smell of garden leaves rather than grass dew. Unfortunately, both Hermes' Garden Sur Le Toit and Demeter's Tomato perform with mid longetivity and unless you can find me a grass/hay/tomato leaf perfume with the performance of the sadly discontinued Cartier's IV Fougeuse (the holy grail outdoor hay perfume IMO), you will have to make due (or dew) with the performance of either Hermes' Le Toit, or Demeter's Tomato. Fortunately, I found my holy grail green-gourmand at Libertine Parfumerie downtown: Robert Piguet's Zazen. Warm cereal, toasted rice, green corn leaves, vanilla powder. Extremely realistic but a whopping $335AUD in comparison to Demeter's $35AUD. Cartier's discontinued IV Fougeuse is an eye-watering $400AUD. If you have the patience to save, I highly recommend it. With either Fougeuse, or Zazen, you will have greenery that lasts a lifetime. If you're really desparate for price-performance quality and not U.S. based, prepare to wait 30 days after paying $50USD for shipping to your country after purchasing from the queen of greenery herself, Dawn Spencer Hurwitz (DSH Perfumes.) You can't beat the quality and passion of her works when it comes to Green genre perfumes, period. I highly recommend her Monet's Garden, or Re-Assess, Divine Garden (personally sampled back in 2019), or heirloom Dutchess County. UPDATE: You can prolong the longetivity of Demeter by spraying on the chest, and pits three times. When it dries, spray three extra times. It comes in 120ml for reason.

ok so due to some confusion in product picture vs. name, i ended up with tomato and not tomato seeds as i had initially thought. all well and good as i want to try both, even with seeds having such horrible reviews ^^; but anyway this is one of their most perfect recreations!!!! the smell of grandma's garden......they could make this an unofficial entry in Margiela's Replica series and end his whole career (im kiddinggg they dont have the strength or longevity of a proper perfume so that would never happen. but seriously if someone would take this exact scent and just amplify it i would pay significant money) this is 100% the top note i was dreaming of for DKNY women so im very happy. even if it doesnt last two shakes of a lamb's tail - having such a scent bottled is worth every penny <3

the myth ! the legend !! i always use demeter tomato as my go-to when trying to flip people's preconceived notions about fragrance on their head. i actually find green family fragrances to be the coolest of cool, chicest of chic, and still rather unexpected. tomato--which to my nose is more about the leaf and dirt than the fruit (don't worry about being ketchupy, there's no vinegar or sugar here !)--is the ultimate green scent. i always crave it as suggestions of spring arrive. does it last long ? nah. small bottle though -- carry it with ya in your bag and top off as so-desired. tomato is demeter fragrances at their best.

wearing this makes me feel like a little fairy living in somebody's garden and stealing their tomato leaves to make dresses out of. like most demeter frags it only last two hours but i DONT CAREEEE because its zingy, green, and nostalgic and the bottle is affordable. the color of this fragrance would be sunshine yellow. makes me want to eat big watermelon slices under a shady tree. 10/10

I second what @kiraagold said: it's "urban gardening hipster chick", and if you ever feel like you want to be that today, Tomato is the perfect choice. Doesn't scream "I'm vegan", but if a great fit for young millennial. Jokes aside, I really love this.
