Mushroom Absolute (Boletus edulis) is a highly sought-after fragrance ingredient, particularly for its rich, earthy flavor. This mushroom is cultivated under spruces and firs in French forests, where it develops its distinctive scent profile. The absolute is known for its long-lasting staying power, making it an ideal choice for musk, forest, smoky, and oud blends. Its odor description includes earthy notes of mushroom, moss, seaweed, chocolate, and oud, which combine to create a complex and deeply rooted fragrance.

The plant part used for extraction is the whole dried plant, which is subjected to solvent extraction to capture the full essence of the mushroom. The absolute itself appears as a dark rusty brown color. Due to its unique scent, it is highly valued in the perfume industry for creating deep, woody, and nature-inspired fragrances. The Mushroom Absolute originates from France and is a rare yet essential ingredient for certain scent compositions.
