Description:
Cucumber is one of our original scents, and still one of our favorites.
The cucumber is believed native to India, and evidence indicates that it has been cultivated in western Asia for 3,000 years. From India it spread to Greece and Italy, where the Romans were especially fond of the crop, and later into China. It was probably introduced into other parts of Europe by the Romans, and records of cucumber cultivation appear in France in the 9th century, England in the 14th century, and in North America by the mid-16th century.
Demeter’s cucumber is the very best of the modern version, all about the juicy garden freshness, light and sweet, of picking cucumbers just before dawn, when the summer dew is still on the plants and the air itself is perfume.
