Lettuce (1998)
by Demeter Fragrance Library

I got a 4 oz. bottle of this in a discount shop somewhere in Manhattan, and it looked like it was being discontinued (which a quick check of the Demeter website confirms.) It's cheap and cheerful, and like all of Demeter's fragrances, evanescent to the point of non-existence. (Which is to say, it lasts for about 15 minutes before totally disappearing.) It's casual, fresh, watery, and nice to splash on after a shower on a hot summer day. Being named "Lettuce," it pretty much does what it says on the label. It's one of Demeter's less bizarre creations (mildew, anyone?) so it's a shame they discontinued it.
