The Scent: Earthy and pungent, yet strangely sweet best describes Demeter's Mushroom Pick-Me-Up spray cologne. Ours just smells great; it has a bit of the same earthiness that our Dirt does. Imagine walking through a forest glade, the ground is glowing, and there are small mushrooms growing in a ring around you.
The Story: Neither plant nor animal, mushrooms are classified as fungi. The main body is subterranean, or lives on dead trees and living tree roots and can vary in size from a few inches to several miles wide. When they absorb a large amount of water, they can grow amazingly fast. Their fruits sprout out of the ground overnight. The effects of eating mushrooms makes hunting them a constant Russian roulette, even for those who know what they're doing. Before there were field guides, foraging festivals, and mushroom experts, mushrooms were often considered a strange and mystical occurrence. For instance, some mushrooms contain a chemical called luciferin, which causes the mushrooms to give off light reflected from their gills, making the ground glow in iridescent colors. This is called Foxfire. Before Anglo-Saxon Britain knew what caused this, they derided mushrooms as nothing but 'toadstools.' It's no wonder they avoided celebrating mushrooms; imagine walking through a forest glade, the ground is glowing, and there are small mushrooms growing in a ring around you. Freaky!

"Phenomenal scent. Literally smells like a mushroom. Dark, damp, warhy, inviting. I pair it with something floral or wear on its own. Its one of my favorite scents i own"
It does in fact, smell like mushroom!
"In terms of giving mushroom this is pretty much spot on it’s kinda uncanny and hilarious. It’s a real earthy foresty mushroom and I’d be interested in blending this with some pine-y type scents!"
Magical
"Absolutely amazed at how much this smells like mushrooms. Woody, earthy, and pleasantly sweet. I love mushrooms and this is amazing, but I do prefer to layer it. Works well with floral scents."
"Smelled exactly as described"
"This is amazing and exactly what I wanted"
Earth and Mushrooms
"Tilled soil with a note of fresh, uncooked mushrooms. Though the note reminds me of white button or cremini, I would consider this more a nature scent than a gourmand."
Definitely shroomy
"Kind of metallic, definitely shroomy, sort of soily. Very raw mushroom. Yes, it's pretty accurate, but does it smell good? As a novelty maybe. I was told I smelled like am old lady, but I think I was kind of going for Lich Queen. If it were a little less metallic I think I'd like it more."
