The intertwining scents of mushrooms and metal create a unique olfactory experience that evokes a sense of both earthy warmth and industrial coolness. The earthy aroma of mushrooms carries me back to childhood foraging adventures in damp forests, where the rich, musty fragrance of fungi filled the air. The metallic notes, reminiscent of cold steel and machinery, introduce a modern edge to the sensory symphony. The ketone with extreme low odor threshold 1-octen-3-one is the main contributor to these distinct smell.
