No word of a lie, this smells like a pretzel… for about 10 minutes. And those 10 minutes are glorious — my *god* do those 10 minutes knock it out of the park! And then that 10 minutes evaporates into the broad disc we call Time, and so does the pretzel. In its place? A bun that I’m pretty sure someone threw in the ocean extremely recently. And it sticks around for about as long as a very very wet piece of bread does, and then, it too slips away in the night, and is no more.

4/5 for the memento mori of it all. 3/5 for this (great while it lasts, genuinely very cool) somewhat underwhelming scent.

    There was a period of time when Boots stocked the small bottles of Demeter & I'd get people them as gifts for a few years as they are fun. Always spot on what they're trying to convey, but lasted a hot minute
