Hot, cheesy and fresh out of the oven — exactly how a girl wants to smell, right?
Demeter’s new Pizza perfume re-creates the sensation of diving into a slice of ’za, with a strong scent of dough mixed with notes of tomato sauce, mozzarella and oregano. In testing, Daily News olfactory workers deemed it “intoxicating and a little off-putting,”“as romantic as a cheese slice at 2 a.m.” and “great, if you want to smell like garlic.”
The most dangerous side effect for your diet: “It makes you constantly think about pizza,” said one tester.
The good news: The fragrance isn’t pungent for long. “After a few minutes, it mellows into the soft scent of cold, leftover pizza, which, of course, drives a partner wild,” said another tester.
Demeter’s CEO, Mark Crames, is a bit nervous that his company — famous for putting out unwearable scents such as Turpentine and Rubber — has jumped the slice. “This is an experiment,” Crames says, citing a successful pizza perfume issued by Pizza Hut in 2012. “We’ll find out if we’re crazy or (it) makes sense.”
The cologne spray ($20 for 1 ounce) is sold online at demeterfragrance.com.

If a girl has spotty face like a piece of pepperoni, this perfume could work to her advantage.

I kinda dig this idea. When we were dating in college, my wife worked in a small family owned Greek pizza/Gyro/grinder joint. She would come over after work reeking of those smells. I used to tell her it was my favorite perfume. Still kinda revs me up when I get a whiff of pizza with feta cheese and black olives....
*sigh*

Is that pepperoni in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

Yes, it is quite possible all her "guy problems" could be resolved if she smelled like cheese and pepperoni. Or not.

Pizza scented perfume is better than perfume scented pizza, I guess. Blue Waltz and pepperoni? No, definitely no. No, no, no.
