summer giveaway: demeter cologne

Hello Lazyhood, good news here: because of some very generous and wonderful sponsors, you have a crack at winning summer-tastic loot every week. So you can be that much more lazy, because the good stuff arrives right at your doorstep if you win.

First up is Demeter Fragrance Library. I vividly remember the first time I encountered their fragrances: I was living in Massachusetts and just discovering the joy of growing tomatoes. I happened upon a counter at a nearby store and made a beeline to the testers, smelling every scent available and marveling that someone else in the world thought that the smell of tending tomato plants was worth putting in a bottle.

The folks at Demeter are offering a trio of Dirt, Grass and Tomato colognes, so you can smell like summer every day. To enter, leave a comment below and be sure to check out the Demeter Fragrance Library. US residents only (sorry to my overseas readers!). Winners will be announced Monday morning. Good luck!

Congratulations to MollySusie, and thanks to everyone for entering. I loved reading all these delicious comments!

What an interesting idea. I would love to smell like freshly mowed grass... I don't know about dirt though. I tend to want to wash dirt off. HAHA! This would be a really fun giveaway to win.

What a fabulous idea! Love the thought of Grass and Tomato, and have to say that I'm intrigued by Dirt. All three bring back great memories of growing up in the country.

I'm so curious to know the interpretation of the smell of tomatoes

Oh how I love these! They are a wonderful pick me up! Even my one-year-old likes to sniff them and smile.

Oh, I love Demeter fragrances! I have their gin and tonic, which smells like a summer day on the deck. I've always been interested in the tomato scent, but I don't think I've actually smelled it yet.

I love gardening. But this year was my first year of starting plants from seed and trying to grow basil, catnip, thyme, and tomatoes. I love the smell of tomatoes and grass, but my favorite smell of all time is dirt! I love getting dirty!

June 23, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterElizabeth

Mmm, tomato and grass are perfect scents for summer!

The dirt scent will match how my son smells after playing outside on a summer day. Love it.

June 23, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterTammi

I was intrigued by the Dirt smell too! Especially after reading that Jeaneane Garafalo wears it as her daily fragrance! What a great giveaway! I love Demeter!

June 23, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMeg

mmm, delicious!

Intreagued is certainly the word for it. My husband likes tomatoes, and seems determined to track as much dirt and grass into the house as possible, I can't loose!

June 23, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterStasigh
