I am obsessed with Mushrooms. I spoke with my new friend Monica Miller who is a perfume blogger,http://perfumepharmer.com/organic-perfume-skincare-remedies/index.php/category/love-spells/, and she turned me on to the perfect scent, cuir et champignon(leather and mushroom). The first notes are of tobacco, and it is lightly sweet and earthy with alot of umami.
What is Umami? In the flavor chart of food, we have sweet, sour, pungent, salty, bitter, and umami. Umami is that taste that is in mushrooms, truffles, soy sauce and miso. It gives a deep earthy taste and smell, and we need and crave it in our diet, just like the other tastes. Dawn M. Spencer somehow got the scent of leather and mushrooms in this lovely all natural scent. If you want to learn more about her and her site, go to www.DSHperfumes.com.
