The truffle is a rare species of mushroom that grows underground. It is used mainly in gastronomy, where it is a luxury delicacy whose price is very high.
What does the truffle smell like?
Its smell is unusual and not necessarily pleasant. It has a characteristic earthy aroma, somewhat reminiscent of the smell of a stable, olive oil, forest litter or a garage. In perfumery, the truffle smell is recreated with the help of synthetic molecules.
