Demeter release Clover and raise a glass of Irish Cream for St Patrick's Day

by Danielle Cooper, 14 March 2009

Demeter Fragrance Library have released two new fragrances just in time to celebrate St Patrick's Day on March 17th. To mark the Irish patron Saint's day 'Clover' and 'Irish Cream' will be available for a very limited time.

According to the information for Clover : "The 3 leaf Clover , or Shamrock, is a symbol closely associated with Ireland, and thus St. Patrick’s Day, although its origins as such are a bit shrouded by history. One Irish legend holds that the three leaf clover, or 'Shamrock', was what Saint Patrick used to represent the Holy Trinity. The four-leaf clover is an uncommon variation of the common, three-leaved clover."

The rare four leafed clover, which features on the signature minmialist rectangular flacon, is believed by some to be lucky.

Irish Cream is a nod to the sweet, creamy liqueur that is made with Irish whiskey. The website describes this definite gourmand as "A fabulous mixture of Irish Whiskey, Fresh Cream, Cocoa, Vanilla, Caramel and Sugar."

Both very limited editions (only available until March 17th) can be purchased in 4oz and 1oz cologne sprays and a 1/2oz splash-on. The scents retail at $39.50, $20.00 and $6.00 respectively.
