Porcini Absolute (chocolate)
Adam Michael has this to say “This porcini mushroom absolute is Italian produced, and mamma mia it’s a so good. Yes we do offer a French offering, yes it is most pleasant, however I live in Italy now and the opportunity to offer an Italian material has presented itself to me, so I thought why not.
Smelling this Italian material neat from the bottle, you are greeted with a real blast of porcini mushroom, followed with very intense dark chocolate qualities, saltiness, and hints of a sweetened seaweed absolute that is finished with a touch of vinegar. On a smelling strip this material is much more on the side of porcini mushroom with a light touch of chocolate and I want to add these chocolate nuances really stand the material apart from the French offering, as they are much more pronounced chocolate qualities by comparison, never faint, always detectable and that is not the case with the French material which is far more savoury throughout. The drydown of this Italian material is an utter WOW, comparable to a hay, tobacco and dried earth party.
A gorgeously rich brown note, this porcini mushroom absolute is savoury and of great intensity, invaluable in gourmand, forest floor, new mown hay accords, and in trace amounts even with white flowers along with whenever you want to impart a darker shade to perfume compositions, adding depth and complexity and making things just more interesting. It is a material that is better dosed with a light hand therefore a little goes a very long way.”

I am experimenting with this one for a short time but I am already in love. There’s unusual, even weird combination of mushrooms and chocolate that in common world we usualy don’t find mixed in the same place. But there’s something more beside the gourmand and natural tone: a faint skin scent, like a smelling a touch of sweet sweat hidden in an old worn coat and tha’t s what I am after.

This is so beautiful. I did not really know what to expect the scent to be like, thinking probably it would be more…what can I say? ‘Hard Porcini’..?
But no, it is so soft, warm and intimate and not ‘meaty mushroomy’ at all. Just smelling from the bottle I thought I could detect something reminding a little of tuberose. And when smelling the two together – Oh my! The porcini really compliment the tuberose. Broadening it, giving it more depth. Very elegant.
Can’t wait to play around with it.
Thank you so much for this little dark, brown, earthy secret being revealed to me Adam & Eleonora!
