DDD or The Demeter Dilemma!
It's actually not all that easy.
- Yes, this is about perfume!
- Yes, a perfume should fulfill a purpose in some way, ideally that of wearing it! - Yes, Demeter fragrances are strictly speaking perfumes.
Even if they are all (sometimes crazy) eau de colognes, they should still fulfill a purpose.
I don't know if I'm a particular species, because I celebrate almost all of their fragrances in some way.
As stupid as many fragrances come across (glue, paint, dust, earthworm, crayons etc. etc.), most of them are authentic.
I won't deny that Demeter also got it thoroughly wrong a few times (Black Pepper is horrible, for example, Pizza is disgusting and was hit 0.0).
But what do I do if a fragrance simply wants to be a fragrance or evoke memories? Do I rate the perfume as a perfume, or as what Demeter sees here as an interpretation of a fragrance?
In the case of Orange Cream Pop, it's actually quite easy, as I find this EDC to be congenial and very wearable.
1. It is an incredibly beautiful summer fragrance that is wonderfully orangey, vanilla-woody and fresh, regardless of its name.
2. The theme has been hit 100%.
If you're not an outright ice cream hater, almost everyone is likely to have stumbled across a well-known ice cream on a stick called "Cuja Mara Split".
Do you know what it tastes/smells like?
Then you know "Orange Cream Pop" from Demeter.
But the elephant in the room is about the following:
Do you want to smell like a popsicle or do you manage to separate this or, at best, even apply it with a wink?
I can only speak for myself. Yes I do!
Fragrances like this put me in a good mood straight away and I get it when I'm approached in a positive way.
"mmm, did you just eat ice cream, and where's mine?" etc.
I manage quite well to accept most fragrances as wearable.
Of course, sometimes more, sometimes less.
I would just like to say a few words about the fragrance itself.
And it's actually not that much.
Orange Cream Pop is a fresh, citrusy-orange fragrance with a beautiful vanilla base. The light woods are a great match and make the EDC what it wants to be.
It's all quite synthetic, of course, but not overpowering.
The durability is ok for an EDC but not earth-shattering.
Re-spraying is the order of the day, which is not a costly act given the price.
The best advice you can give about Demeter fragrances is: Test it!
If you tend to fancy something like this, you can start with a fragrance that suits your taste.
You can only be disappointed if you direct your expectations towards designer or even niche fragrances.
What you see is what you get!
Sorry for my excessive text.

Complicated, because on the one hand deliciously edible.
On the other hand, borderline wearable.
But it basically sounds like wonderful guilty pleasure.
