Meat

About

Meat in perfumery reads as a savory, umami, animalic accord—metallic, bloody-iron facets mingle with fatty, roasted and smoky nuances that can feel brothy, charred or slightly sweet depending on whether it suggests raw flesh, cured salumi or grilled meat. Used sparingly to add depth, realism or a gourmand-savoury twist, meat accords are blended with spices, smoke, woods, leather, balsams and synthetic animalic or blood-like molecules to create rustic, culinary or avant-garde compositions rather than literal foodiness.
