Realistic green tomato plant smell! I’ll use it for layering or alone. Moderate performance. I love it! One of the best Demeter fragrances.
Interesting layering combo
Bvlgari Aqua Marine + Tomato

For all tomato leaf scent lovers – this is a must! I really enjoy it, the only disadvantage is that all Demeter perfumes last only for 2-3 hours… But as I have it in my collection, I like only to sniff it from time to time, as it reminds me my grandma’s greenhouse.. 🙂

This is every urban gardening hipster chick sunbathing topless on the roof, stray honeysuckle and dandelion weeds overtaken by crushed tomato leaves and the great red globes ripening on the vine. A smudge of pollution and sweat and dirt sticks to the skin, but doesn’t stop the invasive Organic Goddess green.
Incredibly intriguing.
I’d worship her in the summer.

I like this scent. It really does smell like tomato vines, a more subtle, perfume version of the tomato plant. It’s funny how I don’t much care for the strong smell of the plant itself. The scent on the plant readily clings to my hands as I work in the garden and is a bit cloying, but this fragrance is refreshing; it brings a little bit of summer to me in winter. I spray it on my hair, and it lasts quite a while this way.

Very VERY green! Rub tomato leaves with your fingers and that’s what this is. Great for layering with florals… unisex on its own.

Hyper-realistic herbaceous tomato plant with clusters of still-green tomatoes waiting to ripen. There’s an undercurrent of basil and sharply pungent Green bell pepper in the forefront as well. The organic garden I’ve always wanted.

This is absolutely fascinating.
Demeter has managed to capture the smell of a tomato plant; vine, leaves, tomatoes, blossoms….the entire plant. This is what I smell when I visit my parents during the summer months and we walk out back to pick tomatoes fresh off the vine.
This is very green, with a soft blossom vegetal-sweetness. It’s beautiful. Had I not received this as a sample with my order, I would have never had the opportunity to try it as I’m unlikely to have picked it on its own. I am grateful Demeter included it. Never would have considered “Tomato” being a wearable scent, but I’m enjoying it so clearly it is.
Wear time is around 4 hours and sillage is within arms length. Nice, subtle, pretty, and fairly unusual. I’m going to enjoy it for the summer and see what I can layer it with. I’ll add an edit if I find anything interesting.

Update: still not getting leaves or tomato from this, but I did realize that if it were called “rhubarb” I’d probably have liked it from the start, that’s really what I’m getting most of.
Huh, NOT what I expected. I thought it would be green, leafy and a bit sour-bitter maybe. That’s how I remember tomato plants.
In actuality it’s weirdly sweet and sour. “Tomato” would never come to my mind if I wasn’t looking for that. It does have a tinge of *something* tomato-ish, that I can’t pinpoint – maybe like a sweet tomato marmalade, if one made such a thing? [Edit: I think it’s some shower gel The Body Shop or some place like that had when I was a kid with a tomato scent.] But it seems even closer to sugary lemondrops to me. And then a strongly generic perfume smell under that.
Maybe I need to smell tomato leaves again. But the sweet jamminess and perfumey-ness of this can’t be right.

Definitely smells more like a tomato plant than an actual tomato. Sort of citrusy and green. It’s a nice scent, but I have to be in the mood for this one.
The best use I’ve found for this perfume so far is as a neutralizer for other scents I’ve grown tired of. I discovered this by accident when I tried layering it, and it quickly killed off what I tried to pair it with (Clean Air). Since then, I have successfully used it to drown out Clean Skin and Donna Karan Cashmere Mist. Of course, I needed to be in the mood to smell tomato plant instead, but alas sometimes that can be a good change of pace 😉

Although this is a great concept,I didn’t care for this one. This smelled like part tomato leaf/part cigarette ashes. I did not get any fresh tomato whatsoever.
Oh well,at least it was only a sample.
sedoy-74 – :
Very nice. A nice change from all those sugary-sweet scents out there.
PydayFedwealo – :
Completely perfect, right in the bottle. It’s fresh and green and spicy and unmistakable. Go rub a tomato leaf, and this is how your hands will smell. I don’t know how they did it, but they nailed it. There were 10 other fragrances in my Demeter order today, and this is the bottle I cannot keep my nose away from.
On my skin, the green note fades and it’s 90% pungent spiciness.

Dear Demeter Tomato,
So many childhood memories to count growing up and helping my family to harvest tomatoes in the farm. Fresh and juicy , red and merry.
Demeter Tomato takes me back in time, where farm lands are the best playgrounds, picking up flowers and farm fruits from the plant to the basket are enjoyable role playing games.
The fragrance in my opinion is a combination of tomatoes and celery. The celery stalks dominated this beautiful country fragrance. Demeter Celery and Tomato… It’s a lovely day!

First of all I would like to underline that this is not a Review about the specific perfume. I am a member of this beautiful Community, and for many years now since its release, I am in love with the perfume Vice Versa by YSL. Unfortunately it was a limited edition and after a while it disappeared, from the markets. I have tried to find it on the Web but the prices for the very few items that exist around the world are outrageous….That’s why I came up with the idea to find another one, if possible, that could resemble it and I discovered this one. (I also noticed that just above the reviews there is the section “This perfume reminds me of….and there are 4 votes for V V). So I would like to ask/question the people who knew the smell of Vice Versa, how “close” the Tomato is to it…I would truly appreciate any answers from the viewers/readers. Thank you very much for your time, to read my message. Hara

I like it a lot, it is a very cheery bright laughing tomato and tomato vine! I can’t see myself wearing this on its own… I’ll have to find a way of layering it with something else to make it feel less like a red smiley-face!
Or, I think I’ll wear it on its own when I’m playing with my friends’ babies in the playground and the park! The 2-5 year-olds seem to love this on me! 😛

I love this. It smells like garden with juicy tomatoes.
bigjoe – :
For me it was too strong, but my man used to like it very much, because he has oily skin or some skin chemistry which makes all the scents milder, so it suited for him very well and was nice.
kabanets – :
Smells like tomato, or rather, a tomato vine. I LOVE the smell of tomato vine. love, Love, LOVE! I use this as room spray in my home office to cheer myself up when I’m cooped up inside. Good on fabric. I don’t wear as personal fragrance.

Must love tomato!
This is another of the Demeter scents that doesn’t really seem like a perfume, though I did use it as such. It smells EXACTLY like a freshly-picked garden tomato, warmed by the sun and with the stem still intact. I’m a tomato lover, and that scent is enticing when we’re talking about the actual food, but this is an odd concept for a fragrance.
Had a typical Demeter Pick-me-up spray’s longevity (3-4 hours at best). Also, I accidentally spilled a bit of this on a wooden tabletop and it damaged the finish. (Maybe all perfumes do that? This was my only experience with a spill on wood, thank goodness.)
Definitely one to try before you buy, or to use for triggering scent memories rather than attracting others with your beautiful scent. As always, though, your mileage may vary. 🙂
