Buckwheat
Fagopyrum esculentum
Buckwheat is not a cereal but a plant of the sorrel family, grown for its seeds. Brittany makes its galettes from it, and Eastern Europe its kasha of toasted groats. The perfumer rebuilds its note, toasted, earthy and slightly honeyed.
What it brings
A toasted, cereal-like note, lightly honeyed.
