Demeter really got the whole dirt thing down, way back when, so I'm hoping it will get it right again with this new one. Eh, we'll see. I've not cracked into it yet. Anya! Wow! You must have some of the most awesome stories about this and that from back then. I am going to maintain they were geeks, anyhow though :) I mean, a theremin/jug band? That's sheer geek chic, and I personally mean it as a very high compliment. Demeter is very fleeting, but if you happen to have stores with testers nearby, I think you will find the "dirt" based scents interesting. March, I didn't know they were tinkering with the ones he did. Wow. That's really, uh, a poor decision on their part. He's the one who made them what they are, and it was partly through marketing, but they wouldn't still be around if the smells weren't exactly how they are. I'll have to revist some of the older ones and see if I can notice any difference. And thanks for writing about the trip. It's been such fun to read. Marina, I think it goes dork, nerd, geek, with geek at the top. And yeah, I know exactly what you mean about the scents from Demeter lately. They are becoming less conceptual. And I thought it was just me who was thinking they are longer lasting now! I picked up their Black Russian, and that sucker stuck to me as long as an edp. Granted, vanilla latches on to my skin and never lets go anyhow, but that was unusual for a Demeter I thought. Amy K, I read about it on the POL board, and it sounded so repellant I wanted it.

What's the lowest strata? Dorks? What's the highest? Nerd? Geeks? :-) Signed, Colombina The Terrible Dork. PS. On Demeter. Dince Brosius left, the scents became less interesting but longer-lasting. Strange, huh? So explain to me the hierarchy of geekness. What’s the lowest strata? Dorks? What’s the highest? Nerd? Geeks? :-)

I spent the afternoon with Brosius yesterday and it could not have been more fun. I think I smelled most everything in the store... FWIW after his departure from Demeter he says they've been tinkering with his frags, not in a good way. I adore his fragrance journeys, and he's extremely warm and entertaining to talk to. We posted on it today, check it out!! Patty was a Brosius virgin, and now has her little collection started... Hey! I spent the afternoon with Brosius yesterday and it could not have been more fun.

I painted a drum kit for Lothar and the Hand People back in 66 or 67. It was black and white OpArt. Back then they weren't geek, they were incredibly futuristic, with the theramin. Demeter I can't comment upon, only having sampled some of their scents years ago, and finding them incredibly fleeting. And boring. Ahem.

I've also been morbidly facinated by this one, but I've gone fishing and had, um, worm juice on my hands too many times to sample it myself. Please post your reaction after you try it!
