🧪
An absolute from oak lichen
A thick, dark extract from the lichen Evernia prunastri. Pure, with nothing added.
🌳
Earthy, mossy, dry
Think damp forest floor and bark. The scent is heavy and lingers, so a few drops go a long way.
💧
For oil burners and diffusers
For scenting living spaces. Blends well with woody oils such as cedarwood or sandalwood.
Oakmoss captures the smell of an oak wood after a summer shower. It is not a fresh scent but a deep, calm and dark one.
Despite the name, oakmoss is not a moss but a lichen that grows on oak bark. It is processed into an absolute: thick, dark green to brown and very economical. Two or three drops in an oil burner are enough to fill a room.
Perfumers have used oakmoss as a base note for over a century, especially in chypre and fougère fragrances. The oil is bottled by vitalundfitmit100 GmbH in Jüchen, Germany.
